Abstract
Supervision is essential for promoting the professional and ethical competence of substance abuse counselors (SACs). However, supervisors in the addictions field often lack the preparation and resources to provide effective supervision, which may be contributing factors to the continued occurrence of ethical infractions by SACs. To assist those who supervise aspiring SACs and improve the supervision they provide, this article presents the Supervisor Evaluation of the Professional and Ethical Competence of Substance Abuse Counselors (SPEC-SAC). Ultimately, the SPEC-SAC is intended to assist supervisors in addressing the promoting the professional and ethical competence of those they supervise.
