For your initial post, discuss addiction-specific therapies and motivational interview strategies. Provide three to five specific techniques you would use in this scenario.

Respond to the posts of at least two of your peers and provide a suggestion for another appropriate intervention, or the treatment of a biopsychosocial factor that they may not have addressed. If you are able to, give an example from your clinical experience. How was your suggested intervention received by the client in your practice, and how did they respond to the treatment?
