Key concepts within the Transtheoretical Model include self-efficacy, processes of change, decisional balance, and temptation. Self-efficacy refers to one's belief in their ability to successfully make a change, which plays a significant role in progressing through the stages of change. Processes of change are the strategies and techniques individuals use to progress from one stage to another, such as setting goals, seeking social support, or increasing self-awareness. Decisional balance involves weighing the pros and cons of changing a behavior, while temptation pertains to the urge to engage in old habits when faced with triggers or challenges.

When applied to maintaining sobriety, the Transtheoretical Model can provide valuable insights into an individual's readiness to change their relationship with alcohol or substances. By identifying where someone falls within the stages of change and addressing key concepts such as self-efficacy and temptation, treatment providers can offer targeted support to enhance the individual's chances of long-term success. This model empowers individuals to take an active role in their recovery journey by recognizing that change is a process that requires self-awareness, support, and dedication over time.
