What is Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)?
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a brief, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation to change. Rather than telling clients what to do, MET helps them explore why change matters to them — and how to move toward it with clarity and commitment.
At Calida Rehab, MET is used as a core component in addiction recovery and is also effective for individuals who are resistant, ambivalent, or uncertain about treatment. It’s non-confrontational, respectful, and highly personalized.
Who is MET Best Suited For?
-
People struggling with substance abuse or behavioral addiction
-
Clients unsure or resistant to change
-
Those dealing with relapse cycles or lack of treatment engagement
-
Adolescents and young adults in the early stages of recovery
-
People navigating co-occurring disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression with addiction)
