Webinar Description: Sound ethics and boundaries are critical to the provision of Substance Use Disorder treatment. Ethical behaviors and boundaries support a client’s treatment process, foster a positive client recovery environment, and promote service engagement. On the other hand, challenges related to unethical practices and boundaries can impact the professionals’ well-being, resulting in negative job consequences. In this training, participants will reflect on their experiences with ethical dilemmas and explore strategies to deliver effective and professional care to SUD clients.

Educational Objectives:

• Examine how ethics and boundaries are critical to competent practice with SUD clients
• Increase understanding of ethical decision-making models to support sound clinical practices
• Identify the difference between boundary crossings and boundary violations to ensure professional integrity and client well-being
