Which principle includes engaging in the legislative process to help those affected by substance use?

Rights and Duties
Dual Relationships
Preventing Harm
Compliance with the Law

The correct answer is: Rights and Duties

Engaging in the legislative process to help those affected by substance use aligns well with the principle of Rights and Duties. This principle emphasizes the obligation of addiction counselors to advocate for the rights of clients and the broader community impacted by substance use disorders. By participating in the legislative process, counselors can influence policies that protect these rights and promote access to necessary resources and support systems for individuals struggling with addiction. This proactive engagement not only highlights the counselor's role as an advocate for their clients but also underscores the responsibility to contribute to systemic changes that can enhance treatment, prevention, and recovery efforts. In contrast, the other principles mentioned don't focus specifically on advocacy within legislative frameworks. Dual Relationships pertains to avoiding conflicts of interest in professional roles, Preventing Harm emphasizes keeping clients safe from harm, and Compliance with the Law involves adhering to legal standards and regulations without necessarily advocating for change.
