Training and Provider Support

Given the wealth of evidence supporting screening and intervention for substance use problems, it is important to understand current practices in relationship to recommended "best practices." InSight gives providers tools to establish practices to help patients make wise choices about their alcohol and drug use and learn how their substance use affects their health.

Training and Supervision in Motivational Interviewing

InSight Specialists use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to assist patients in changing their substance use. Motivational Interviewing is a counseling technique that encourages patients to examine the pros and cons of their use and develop their own solution for change. The training was designed by Dr. Mary Velasquez. Ongoing coaching and clinical supervision ensures fidelity to the InSight model and the principles of MI.
