Client Rights for Addiction Treatment Patients

It is important that you have some knowledge about your situation. When an abusive situation occurs document it in a notebook and write about how you feel about it, also write all facts down that are pertinent to the situation.

Counselors are a predominant and useful profession, however as the field is quite new, they are not as closely regulated as other professionals and therefore have freedoms and creative license that are not always clearly defined.

Also, on a rare occasion, an unscrupulous or "unprofessional counselor" wishing to have an income, may be tempted to keep you "sick" as it is in their financial interests to do so. It is better to have all things clear in your mind, up front, so you can avoid such situations.

The solution is to stick up for your client rights from the beginning or if you have been taken advantage of, to request a time out and get your grievance resolved rather than butting heads with no resolve.
