Ethical Boundaries: Example #3 of Crossing an Ethical Boundary

“34-count indictment from the state attorney general accuses owner of the sober house Recovery Education Services (RES) in Boston of offering drugs and legal representation to residents of his recovery house in exchange for sex.”

Who wants this headline in our community? Headlines like this set back the recovery housing NIMBY struggle.

In this case residents were afraid to complain about conditions because they’re often required to live in sober housing as conditions of probation or to get custody of their children.

Talk about a power differential!
