Motivational Interviewing to Community Engaged Scenario Planning in Societal Addiction Therapy: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Author(s):

Societal addiction therapy presents a complex challenge that requires innovative and community-centered approaches. Motivational Interviewing (MI) has emerged as a robust method to facilitate behavior change, while Community Engaged Scenario Planning (CESP) provides a strategic framework for collective problem-solving and future planning. This article explores the integration of MI into CESP frameworks within the context of societal addiction therapy, offering a detailed review of theoretical foundations, practical applications, and potential outcomes. Key findings indicate that combining MI with CESP can enhance community involvement, improve intervention outcomes, and create more sustainable solutions for addiction treatment.
