The results of a case study regarding the experiences of individuals who participated in a motivational intervention (MI) process for a six week period which includes the participation of significant others are presented. The importance of including the so called sobriety sampling in an intervention that looks for motivating the entrance to an addiction treatment is discussed. The individuals who participated are six male adults aged between 25 and 45, who had already participated on a specific mode of intervention called motivational intervention (MI), which includes the sobriety sampling. The changes produced during this process are described based on qualitative analysis of the data. Results show that the sobriety sampling, in the context of an intervention with the characteristics of the MI, makes it easier for individuals to take the decision to treat themselves. Finally, the importance of offering a mode of intervention in which the subject is an active part of the process of change is highlighted.
