Session Description: This session will engage participants in the subject of ethical principles that underlie the provision of effective and principled substance use disorder (SUD) and behavioral health treatment. This training will identify and describe issues around boundaries and dual relationships, and challenge participants to think about specific clinical situations that raise ethical dilemmas. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific examples in small groups and determine best responses to each clinical situation. As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be able to describe ethical principles that are foundational to the practice of SUD and behavioral health treatment. Participants will be able to identify and consider in their clinical practice ethical considerations related to making a self-disclosure to a client and they will be able to apply components of an ethical decision-making process to situations that arise in their work.
