Which ethical principle is emphasized in the CPRS Code of Ethical Conduct?
Respect for the autonomy and dignity of individuals in recovery.
How should a CPRS handle confidentiality when it comes to sharing recovery-related information?
Confidentiality must be maintained unless the individual gives explicit consent or there is a legal
obligation to disclose.
How should a CPRS navigate ethical dilemmas that arise when the needs of a client conflict with the
policies of the recovery program they are part of?
The CPRS should prioritize the well-being and recovery of the client while seeking guidance from
supervisors and advocating for the client's needs in alignment with ethical guidelines.
When a CPRS is aware that a peer is participating in harmful recovery practices, what steps should they
take to address the situation ethically?
The CPRS should have a respectful and non-judgmental conversation with the peer, encourage
them to seek appropriate professional support, and report any significant concerns to a supervisor while
maintaining confidentiality.
How does a CPRS ensure that their support is empowering rather than disempowering when assisting
individuals with complex recovery needs?
The CPRS should engage in active listening, avoid imposing their own values, and collaborate with
the individual to develop solutions that promote self-efficacy and autonomy in the recovery process.
What ethical considerations are involved in a CPRS working with peers who are involved in multiple
recovery programs simultaneously?
1
, The CPRS should respect the autonomy of the individual in choosing their recovery programs,
ensure they are receiving comprehensive care, and maintain clear communication with other
professionals involved in the individual’s recovery process, respecting confidentiality and boundaries.
What is the ethical dilemma a CPRS may face when a peer expresses intentions to relapse, and how
should it be handled?
The CPRS should address the situation with empathy, recognizing the relapse as part of the
recovery journey, while providing non-judgmental support and encouraging the peer to seek additional
professional support. If safety is at risk, the CPRS should intervene appropriately and seek help from a
licensed professional.
In a situation where a CPRS suspects that a peer is being coerced into continuing treatment against their
will, how should this concern be addressed while maintaining ethical standards?
The CPRS should provide a safe space for the peer to express their concerns, ensure they
understand their rights in the recovery process, and refer the peer to an independent professional or
advocate to address the potential coercion while maintaining confidentiality.
How does a CPRS navigate personal biases when working with individuals from cultural or socio-
economic backgrounds that differ significantly from their own?
The CPRS should engage in ongoing self-reflection and cultural competency training, be mindful
of their own biases, and ensure they are providing equitable, respectful, and individualized support that
is culturally sensitive and tailored to the peer’s unique needs.
What is the ethical responsibility of a CPRS when a peer shares sensitive information that is legally
required to be reported, such as harm to others?
The CPRS should adhere to mandatory reporting laws, while also being transparent with the peer
about the need for disclosure, ensuring the peer understands the legal and ethical obligations involved
and providing support throughout the process.
How does a CPRS balance providing empathetic support while ensuring they do not become emotionally
enmeshed or over-identified with the peer they are assisting?
The CPRS should maintain professional boundaries, engage in regular supervision and peer
support, and seek emotional support from colleagues or mental health professionals to process any
emotional challenges, ensuring they remain focused on the peer’s recovery while maintaining personal
well-being.
