[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, you are correct. Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is designed to enhance a person's motivation and readiness to make changes in their substance use behavior. It aims to increase the person's awareness of the consequences of their substance use and help them recognize and cope with situations that may trigger or sustain their substance use. MET does not use family therapy principles (Option A), focus on understanding factors and situations that precede substance use (Option B), or attempt to disrupt behaviors by equipping patients with skills to resist substance use (Option D). So, the correct answer is C.
