PART 1 MARCH 17, 2010
10:00 AM – 11:30 AM EASTERN 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM CENTRAL

The foundation of responsible clinical practice rests on an understanding of basic ethical guidelines and behaviors. In part one, we will define “ethics”, discuss two major ethical theories and explore the role of Professional Association and Agency Codes of Ethics as standards of professional behavior. In addition we will examine the relationship between Ethics and the law and focus on understanding and appreciating the importance of maintaining good professional boundaries. We will also review case studies to help us begin to apply what we have discussed.

PART 2 APRIL 14, 2010
10:00 AM – 11:30 AM EASTERN 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM CENTRAL

As our discussion of Ethics in Addictions Treatment continues, we will discuss the importance of federal, state and agency confidentiality regulations and examine more specifically some important legal considerations that affect clinical practice. We will also apply ethical standards to clinical record keeping and conclude by articulating a simple model for making ethical decisions. During the presentation we will review several case studies to illustrate what we have been discussing.
