,The addiction professional understands and respects the fundamental
human right of all individuals to self-determination and to make decisions
that they consider in their own best interest. In that regard, the counselor
will be open and clear about the nature, extent, probable effectiveness and
cost of those services to allow each individual to make an informed
decision about his or her care. The addiction professional works toward
increased competence in all areas of professional functioning; recognizing
that at the heart of all roles is an ethical commitment contributing greatly to
the well-being and happiness of others. He/she is especially mindful of the
need for faithful competence in those relationships that are termed
fiduciary - relationships of special trust in which the clients generally do not
have the resources to adequately judge competence.

accurate and complete information regarding the extent of the potential
professional relationship, including the Code of Ethics and documentation
regarding professional loyalties and responsibilities.

efficacy of treatment and referral options available to the client.
The addiction professional will terminate work with a client when services
are no longer required or no longer serve the client's best interest.

clients who are in need of services. Referral will be made only after careful
consideration of all factors to minimize adverse effects.

he/she cannot work effectively. In such cases, arrangements for
consultation, co-therapy or referral are made.
The addiction professional may terminate services to a client for
nonpayment if the financial contractual arrangements have been made
clear to the client and if the client does not pose an imminent danger to
self or others. The addiction professional will document discussion of the
consequences of nonpayment with the client.
When an addiction professional must refuse to accept the client due to
inability to pay for services, ethical standards support the addiction
professional in attempting to identify other care options. Funding
constraints might interfere with this standard.

when the client's mental, spiritual, physical or chemical impairment status is
beyond the scope of the addiction professional's expertise.

esteem in others. In relationships with clients, students, employees and

and extent of services, treatment options and the extent to which the client

informed of the limitations and risks associated with these services. Client
questions will be addressed within a reasonable time frame.

policies. Any disclosure forms will provide information about grievance
procedures.
