Ethical Issues in Contemporary Substance Abuse Treatment

January 13, 2021

This conference is being held virtually.

Substance use disorders (SUD) are highly stigmatized, therefore, they require more rigorous ethical protections than other medical conditions. SUD’s often involve illicit drug use and high-risk behaviors which can intersect with the law, it is imperative to understand professional and legal obligations and how it impacts the therapeutic alliance with the client. This presentation will focus on helping the treating clinician to navigate the complex ethical issues found in contemporary substance abuse treatment.

Target Audience

The program is aimed at psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and other allied health professionals who deal with mental health issues and addiction medicine.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this session, learners should be able to:

  1. Identify at least three reasons SUD clients require ethical considerations
  2. Apply a model for ethical decision making to a client case study
  3. Identify at least one Federal and one Wisconsin Legislative act impacting ethical SUD treatment
