Furthermore, many times the client fabricates their progress due to fear of the consequences. However, since she has two children involved and is now involved with the legal system, the therapist can generally assume that her motivation to change is quite high—even if it is just for this period of time. Furthermore, her openness with the therapist shows that a real sense of trust is established. Although Brandy presents for treatment for Opioid Use Disorder, she offers further information that leads the therapist to think Alcohol Use Disorder is also an issue. In Brandy's case, Motivational Interviewing defines or outlines her issues with substance abuse and alcohol in many ways.
