Ethical practice isn’t a checkbox you tick at orientation.
It’s every boundary you hold, every confidence you protect, and every hard truth you speak out loud.

This article breaks down the key principles guiding substance use counseling:
• Autonomy – helping clients make informed choices instead of “complying or failing.”
• Beneficence & Nonmaleficence – promoting well-being while actively avoiding harm in your interventions.

• Justice – addressing inequities in access, culture, and care.
• Fidelity & Veracity – showing up as consistent, honest, and trustworthy so clients can risk being real with you.

It also offers a practical framework for ethical decision-making: identify the dilemma, weigh the principles, document, consult, act, and reflect.

If you’re serious about protecting client welfare and your own integrity, this is worth a read and a team discussion.

White-knuckling looks strong on paper.
In the body, it’s a trap.

When clients clamp down on cravings, their breathing tightens, their stress spikes, and their thinking narrows to one goal. Make it stop.
That’s when old patterns feel like the fastest exit.

Urge surfing changes the job.
You teach clients that cravings have a shape.
They rise, peak, and fall.

You help them name the urge, notice body cues without fighting them, and track the wave long enough to see it shift.
That alone can turn panic into possibility.

The best part
This drops into what you already do with MI and CBT.
It’s a concrete, teachable skill for one-to-one sessions and groups.

Teaching Clients to Surf Cravings Instead of White-Knuckling Them gives you a clear, step-by-step way to use mindfulness-based relapse prevention in real sessions with people you serve.

How well do you actually understand what alcohol does to the brain?

The Psychobiology of Alcohol course gives you the knowledge to stop guessing and start getting real results with your clients.

Inside this training, you’ll learn:
• How alcohol hijacks brain chemistry and behavior
• What withdrawal actually looks like on a neurological level
• How psychological, cultural, and historical factors shape alcohol use
• Why alcohol affects almost every organ system except your ears

When I was drinking, I didn’t know why I couldn’t stop. I thought it was about willpower. It wasn’t. It was brain science. And the people who helped me get clean understood that.

If you don’t know how alcohol works in the body, how are you treating it?

The Psychobiology of Alcohol course gives you 22 credit hours for CASAC or NAADAC renewal.

It gives your clients something they need—someone who gets what they’re really up against.

You’ve seen alcohol ruin lives. Maybe it tried to ruin yours.
I’ve been there too.
Woke up shaking. Lied about it. Drank to feel normal.

Told myself it wasn’t that bad—until it was.
Now I help people who are where I used to be.
But that only works if I can see what’s really happening.

This post breaks down what every substance use counselor, peer, or person in recovery should be watching for:

What early symptoms of alcohol use disorder look like
What changes in behavior actually mean
What physical and psychological signs get missed

How to respond without judgment
You can’t help someone if you can’t see the truth.
And they won’t always tell you.
You have to know what to look for.

What signs did you miss in yourself—or someone else—before it got bad?
Tag someone who’s doing this work from the heart.
