Ethical Decision-Making in Addiction Recovery Services (Austin, TX)

How do you practice social work with integrity in an increasingly complex, techno, post-modern world? How do you integrate your values with the values of those you serve: clients, agency, community, and profession? How do you make decisions when there are competing values about protecting clients, freedom of choice, or society’s best interest?  How are these questions exemplified in addiction treatment programs?

 

This workshop is about exploring our values and finding ways to make ethical decisions in addictions   treatment and recovery programs.  Participants will be presented with:

  • Ideas about how our values and the treatment approach we use inform our ethical decisions
  • Guidelines developed by Loewenberg & Dolgoff to use as a process for making ethical decisions
  • Group discussion related to specific case examples in addictions recovery programs

Participants will be able to:

  • Use a decision-making process when confronted with an ethical dilemma
  • Consider their own values and the connection between personal values and professional ethics
  • Discuss how this material informs their decision making in specific examples from their practice settings
