To whom are CRSS professionals accountable?

CRSS professionals are primarily accountable to persons served, organizational leadership, and the CRSS code of ethics. This accountability ensures that they provide the highest quality of care and support to individuals in recovery while adhering to ethical standards that guide their practice.

The emphasis on accountability to persons served is crucial because it prioritizes the needs and rights of individuals seeking recovery support. This relationship fosters trust, encouraging clients to engage and participate actively in their recovery journey.

Accountability to organizational leadership is equally important, as it aligns the professionals' activities and decisions with the goals and values of the institution, ensuring that resources are used effectively and that services are maintained at a high standard.

Furthermore, adherence to the CRSS code of ethics establishes a framework for professional conduct, helping practitioners navigate complex situations with integrity and responsibility, which ultimately promotes a positive and ethical recovery environment.

The combined focus on these areas ensures a holistic approach to recovery support that emphasizes both ethical practice and the welfare of those being served.
