Motivation plays a key role in a person making important health and lifestyle changes in regards to drug and alcohol use. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for the first time was tested in community mental treatment settings. This dissertation begins by considering what motivation is, the many different theories behind human motivation, and motivation through the lens of addiction and substance use disorders (SUDs). From there, we will explore SUD’s impact upon both physical and mental health in the United States as a result of unmet treatment. This leads into an exploration of the components of the theoretical and clinical application of Motivational Interviewing and the Stages of Change model and the SBIRT model of brief interventions. This study sets out to answer three questions; first to report the factor structure of the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale, (SOCRATES A, for Alcohol and D for all other Drugs) in participants both at baseline and at the 3-month follow-up. Second, to examine if one’s readiness for change as measured on the SOCRATES A & D both can be predicted by severity of use as measured on the AUIDT for alcohol related use and on the DAST for drug related use. Finally, we set out to explore if a participants’ level of motivation as measured on the SOCRATES A & D mediate any effect of the SBIRT intervention on reducing the frequency of alcohol and/or drug use at the 6-month and or 12-month follow-ups.
