L’objectif

Little attention has been paid to clinicians' perspectives of ethics in their practice within AOD settings. This potentially neglects an important aspect of AOD clinical work.

Constatations/points à retenir

Although participants rarely used explicitly ethical language to describe their work, they described four ethical goals: helping clients to access AOD care and treatment; facilitating change in clients' lives; challenging stigma; and keeping people safe. We argue that these clinical goals should also be conceptualised as ethical goals.
