When Counselors Cross the Line: The Impact on Addiction Recovery

An unhealthy person cannot help another unhealthy person. The emotional and mental paces you were put through at Daytop were to access what they believed was a more important determination.
What happens when those who are supposed to help you end up causing harm? This episode of 'ROACHE on RECOVERY' dives into a crucial yet often overlooked issue in addiction treatment: the ethical boundaries that counselors must navigate. The discussion kicks off with a look at Daytop's rigorous staff training program, which goes beyond intellectual mastery to challenge counselors emotionally and mentally.
The host emphasizes that while professional and para-professional counselors operate under strict ethical codes, sometimes these boundaries are crossed, causing unintended harm to clients. The episode explores why it's vital for counselors to address their own issues before they can effectively help others. There's a deep dive into the implications of relapse for both clients and counselors, and the often painful honesty required in recovery. What does it mean to be 'clean'?
And how important is self-control in the journey to sobriety? These questions are tackled head-on, offering listeners a nuanced understanding of the challenges and responsibilities faced by those in the field of substance abuse treatment. Whether you're a counselor, someone in recovery, or just curious about the complexities of addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable insights. It's a compelling listen that sheds light on the human side of professional ethics in recovery.
