Multiple Pathways to Recovery: The Ethical Imperative to Offer Clients Choices

Pete Rubinas, Executive Director of SMART Recovery USA, will discuss the various ways that empowerment and autonomy are prioritized in the ethical codes of the various helping professions involved in supporting those who struggle with addictive behaviors, including those who are in treatment for substance use disorder. He will then discuss the ways that our dominant cultural narratives around addiction are often at odds with client empowerment. Finally, he will explain how truly implementing multiple pathways can help clinicians fully align with their ethical requirements. This could be as simple as improvements to informed consent practices, but it could also involve actively seeking to enhance the programmatic offerings at a given facility.
