Problem: A CRSW works at an agency providing outpatient drug and alcohol services between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. A person evaluated as needing peer support indicates that he can only come for the session after 5 p.m. recognizing the client's history of treatment resistance and the risk of losing him should a referral to another agency be made, the CRSW agrees to see the person at 7 p.m., counter to agency policy. The client progresses well with this modality. Which of the following applies to this situation?
a. It may be construed as an ethical violation of institutional policies.
b. The client engaged in treatment and progressed, which is paramount.
c. Salvaging the client was critical, and it did not involve any unethical behavior
