PD22: Ethics Part I: Juggling Porcupines: Ethical Dilemmas in the World of Addiction Professionals (3 CEUs)
One ethicist equated ethical decision making to juggling porcupines. The addiction professional often finds competing interests, political, social, and legal implications affecting their choices. Ethical principles are designed to provide an overall guide for making a decision, and the accompanying standards provide more specific guidelines to the counselor making a judgment call about a given situation. Our imagination is usually not vivid enough to imagine that the behaviors reported to the ethics committee or the state grievance board could really happen. When evaluating the information provided about some situation, we might prefer juggling porcupines to having to make a decision, especially when the decision requires discipline for a colleague. In this presentation, participants will engage in role play of behaviors reported as ethical violations. The principles and standards that apply will be identified and discussed. When there is no specific standard that applies to a situation that violates values held by addiction professionals and a decision is required, many considerations must be evaluated. Attendees will discuss alternatives and make decisions about the situation being evaluated.
2:30 PM - 5:45 PM
PD22B: Ethics Part II: Ethical Responsibility to Self and Society (3 CEUs)
Part II will address principles six through ten of the revised NAADAC Code of Ethics. These principles focus on Professional Standards of Behavior and application of those standards in work settings, as well as in the community. Addiction professionals have a responsibility under the NAADAC ethical standards to educate the greater society, improve treatment standards, and to advocate public policy impacting addiction treatment. The topics of these principles are: Workplace Standards, Supervision and Consultation, Resolving Ethical Issues, Communication and Publication, and Policy and Politics.
