Pendekatan Psikologis dan Edukatif: Konseling Penyuluhan bagi Individu dengan Ketergantungan Alkohol

Abstract

Alcohol abuse is a complex problem that impacts physical and mental health, and social stability. This article aims to examine effective counseling strategies for individuals with binge drinking habits. The primary approaches discussed are Motivational Interviewing (MI) and the cognitive-behavioral approach. The study's findings indicate that counseling conducted while the individual is sober, using non-judgmental, empathetic techniques, can increase internal motivation to change. The article's conclusion emphasizes the importance of synergy between health education and ongoing psychological support for achieving long-term recovery.
