Ethical principles are models of exemplary professional behavior, and such standards exist for all who are in the healthcare field including for those involved in the prevention part of the addiction field. Having strong ethical principles is important for addiction professionals because of the vulnerability of people who are addicts or are at risk of addiction. “The history of how society views persons with addictions is fraught with emotion, misperceptions, and biases that have affected the care of drug abusers. For example, it is not unusual in a health care setting for a patient to be perceived negatively just by being labeled a drug abuser.” (SAMHSA/CSAT, 2000). This workshop will provide participants with current prevention-specific knowledge, skills, values, principles and standards that would enable them to act in an ethical and competent professional manner. It also will provide participants with an overview of the most recent prevention-focused professional codes of ethical and professional conduct.
