Abstract

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a customer-centered treatment method, encouraging users’ behavioral change. The principal rules consist of empathy expression, discrepancy creation, resistance adaptation, and self-efficacy enhancement. This review examines MI’s application in adolescent substance and behavior addiction management, assessing its impact on increasing therapy engagement, curtailing addictive behaviors, improving peer relationships, and addressing coexisting mental health conditions from an ecosystem perspective based on personal perspective and psychology, family influence, peers and social environment. Findings demonstrate that MI significantly ameliorates adolescent addiction over both short-term and long-term periods. Future research should focus on cultural adaptation, implementation, training, managing comorbid cases, and evaluating long-term outcomes.
