Ethics, Confidentiality and the Counselor-Client Relationship in Substance Abuse Treatment

The specific mandates of 42 CFR, Part II are covered as they relate to the counselor’s experience in an agency setting. Recent developments in 45 CFR Parts 160 & 164, which impact the substance abuse confidentiality regulations are explored and applied to clinical practice. Confidentiality and Privacy, as it is written for HIV/AIDS patients, is incorporated. Codes of ethics that apply to CASAC counselors are discussed with an emphasis on critical thinking in the resolution of common ethical dilemmas. The counselor-client relationship with its professional and ethical responsibilities are stressed, including with regard to mandatory reporting; access to care and funding/block grant requirements; and use of new/emerging technology.
