Ethics in Addiction
PRICE
Free
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Substance use and addiction treatment settings raise ethical challenges that don't always show up in general practice trainings. This practical 1-hour ethics course explores confidentiality protections under 42 CFR Part 2, dual relationships and boundary issues common in recovery-community settings, and informed consent with clients facing impaired judgment or coercive treatment pressures. Clinicians will leave with a decision-making framework they can apply directly in session.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Identify at least three ethical dilemmas commonly encountered in substance use/addiction treatment, including confidentiality, dual relationships, and informed consent.
Apply NASW Code of Ethics standards and 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality protections to case-based scenarios in addiction treatment settings.
Develop a practical decision-making framework for managing boundary crossings and dual relationships common in recovery-community practice settings.
