In addition, MI relies on very specific individual feedback about substance abuse consequences to build motivation for change. This has made it hard to implement Motivation Enhancement Therapy (MET) in group, as we described earlier. Because SFGT does not rely on such individualized feedback, and instead uses each client’s goals and exceptions and their commonalities with other group members as the basis for developing motivation and support for change, it can be more easily implemented in group format. A group implementation of SFBT, like the one being developed in this project, adds the important component of group support to clients’ ongoing change efforts.
