  1. How to Teach the Value of Personal Rewards

  2. A successful drug abuse counselor pairs treatment with ongoing psychological assessment and engagement. While specialized training helps, drug abuse counselor education requirements may gloss over the importance of reward-setting behavior. To influence long-lasting change, you’ll need to take full control of your drug abuse counselor training and incentivize your client’s lifestyle.

  3. Encouragement Through Reward Breaking addiction is difficult. No medication exists to remedy methamphetamine or cocaine addiction, and therapy is often the best treatment. Encourage lifestyle rewards through trust and communication, and bring deeper communication in as a path-building tool as recovery progresses. Use Motivational Interviewing Motivational interviewing is part of drug abuse counselor training, focusing on recovery's positive effects to incentivize progression. By utilizing motivational interviewing, a drug abuse counselor can use life's rewards as a guiding recovery force.

  4. Offer Physical Rewards While physical rewards shouldn’t be the crux of a counseling session, they can certainly aid with positive lifestyle changes. Movie tickets, restaurant coupons and gift certificates can’t be exchanged for addiction-powered money, and they similarly incentivize a healthier lifestyle. 30 sober days, for example, may be a powerful driving force for such rewards. Offer Longer Sessions Clients like support and they're often willing to work for longer sessions. During recovery, reward positive life changes with longer, deeper recovery sessions. Or, split off from addiction recovery and focus on behavioral therapy areas. By encouraging participation, you can positively influence recovery.

  5. In any case, focusing on your client’s motivations and driving factors is important. Often, drug abuse robs the individual of much-needed energy to change. For this reason, building a firm foundation of incentives and goal-setting behavior is invaluable. Talk to your clients, form new mental roadwork and assist them throughout the recovery process. While no patient is the same, many carry extraordinary willpower—you just need to unlock it.
