The importance of addiction counselor ethics.
Ethics isn’t a box to check. It’s what protects your clients, your credential, and your credibility. Every OASAS and NAADAC credential requires ethics hours because the calls counselors face in the field are rarely simple.
What our ethics training covers
Across all three courses, you’ll work through:
- The core ethical principles that guide addiction counseling
- A clear, six-step framework for making ethical decisions
- The OASAS, NAADAC, and other applicable codes of ethics
- Real-world dilemmas — conflicts of interest, dual relationships, confidentiality, boundaries, and patient advocacy
The 15-hour Counselor Ethics course goes deepest and satisfies initial credentialing; the 6-hour CASAC and NAADAC courses focus on the renewal essentials.

…Overall I feel that the way the modules were set up made a lot of sense, especially with the way they built off of each other. The pacing was also pretty well done, I never felt overwhelmed and I did pretty well on the tests overall, even with the areas I struggled in.
The entire training was proper, but I liked that you included audio and visual components. I also liked that you shared several resources and that they will be available going forward as I progress in my hands-on training and career. Of course, the fact that the training was primarily self-paced was a considerable benefit.
This course masterfully presented its content with clarity and precision, making the learning process enjoyable and effective. The quizzes, strategically designed with thought-provoking questions, were crucial in cementing my understanding. They reinforced the material and brilliantly prepared me for the final exams. This harmonious blend of teaching and testing has dramatically deepened my grasp of the subject matter.
This has been an absolutely tremendous and humbling experience. I have not done any type of schoolwork outside of the trades. I never saw myself taking copious notes, rereading paragraphs, and looking up words since I graduated high school 20 years ago. Besides learning about a field I am passionate about, the best part of this course is the self-discipline involved in completing the work.
I am so grateful for this opportunity and the support all Educational Enhancement staff has given me. I truly put my all into this, and it is a really good feeling to have completed this part. Thank you all so much.
Commit to instilling ethics and ethical decision-making in all your interactions.
