What Is The Ethics Training?

Most people hear the word ethics and start to yawn. But the truth? Ethics is where careers are built—or broken. At The Addictions Academy, we don’t treat ethics like a boring checklist. We treat it like the backbone of professionalism. When you know the rules, boundaries, and responsibilities inside and out, you protect your clients, your license, and your reputation.

This training goes beyond theory. We dig into the real issues you’ll face in the field: fraud-related conduct, confidentiality, professional standards, sexual misconduct, unlawful behavior, exploitation, working across state lines, safety and welfare, report writing, case management, and more. Through real-world scenarios and clear “dos and don’ts,” you’ll walk away knowing exactly how to navigate tough situations with confidence.

Local, state, and federal laws are constantly evolving—it’s on you to stay current. This course makes sure you’re never caught off guard. By the end, you’ll have a solid framework that keeps you on the right side of ethics every time. Complete the course, pass the exam, and you’ll earn your Ethics Training certificate to prove it.
