These features of motivation are applicable to motivation for changing almost any behavior, from quitting drugs, to adopting healthier lifestyle for losing weight to keeping your room tidy. The important point to remember is – since motivation is dynamic, it can be changed, and this change can be brought about by interaction between a service provider and a patient.

Feedback

How can we change someone’s motivation by interacting with them? These four techniques will be discussed for changing motivation. As can be noticed, these are overlapping strategies.
While these terms may sound technical and heavy, we will see in a short while that these are very practical strategies, which we can use in our day-to-day practice.

9. feedback
Personalised feedback of negative Consequences of substance use
Health
Socio familial.
Occupational.
Financial.
Legal
The feedback should be based on the examples of the patient’s life.
Eliciting the harms the patient himself had experienced and reflecting it back to the patient
As the name indicates in this technique the therapist just tries to act like a mirror. The key word here is PERSONALISED. While everyone must have talked to our patient about the negative consequences of drug use in general. During feedback process, we must discuss the consequences which the patient has faced himself.

10. These are just some of the examples of consequences of drug use, which our patient may have experienced and which could be used for feedback.

Another strategy is decision balancing. Ask, how do we take any decision in general. The obvious answer would be through comparing pros and cons or positives and negatives of any action.
For any action, doing or not doing it – both are associated with certain likely consequences. Should we take a tea break now? If we do some of us would feel refreshed and will be better abele to participate in training (a positive consequence). However, a tea break may also delay the proceeding for the entire day. We would end up late (a negative consequence). The reverse is true for not taking a tea break.

12. Decision balancing The individual is enabled to weigh
the benefits of change vis a vis benefits of staying the same
and
compare it with cost of staying the same vis a vis cost of change.
For a drug user too, decision of Quitting drugs will have both positive and negative consequences. Discuss and conduct mind mapping. What will be the positive consequence of quitting? What will be the positive consequence of continued drug use? Similarly, what are the costs involved in quitting? And costs involved in continued drug use?

13. Decision balancing Benefits of change Cost of staying the same
Cost of change
Benefits of staying the same
Thus, if we are able to make the person realize that there is a net benefit in quitting drugs, we may enhance his motivation.

14. strategies/techniques for enhancing motivation
Feedback
Decision balancing
Developing discrepancy
Supporting self-efficacy
Another strategy is developing discrepancy. Can be called simple\y as An inconsistency or a mismatch.

15. DEVELOPING DISCREPANCY
Enable the patient to compare his quality of life with other non users (friends and relatives), and help him to think where he is vis a vis where he wanted to be
Discuss Life goals of the patient and how drug use can hamper in achieving these.
Here we help the patients to compare the life of their non-drug using peers / friends / relatives with their own. Similarly making the person realize the difference between what he wanted to achieve and what he could (or could not) sue to drug use, also enhances the persons motivation.

17. SUPPORTING SELF EFFICACY
Instilling hope by telling the patient that
“the goal is achievable”
“you can do it”
Some individuals do not attempt behaviour change thinking that the goal is too difficult to achieve
Many drug users have this myth that quitting is impossible at least for them. Here the therapist just tries to instill the hope that “change is possible” and the confidence that “you can also make this change.” Example of others who may have achieved this change, such as currently abstinent peers could be a great motivating factor.
