You work in an outpatient substance abuse treatment facility. Your client reveals, during the course of therapy, that a staff person paid another patient to have sex (the patient having previously been a sex worker). The staff member works in another department in the agency. Your client is fairly sure that the patient is not aware that one of their customers works in another part of that facility.
Are there any ethical obligations for you when you hear this information?
What are the potential ethical pitfalls in this scenario?
What, if anything, should you do?
