Hi guys, I'm new here and have an important question regarding ethics. If I'm recreationally abusing doctor prescribed drugs, is a therapist allowed to report this? I know that therapists are bound by confidentiality and will not send you to the police or anything but considering my psychiatrist and therapist work in the same building and literally see eye-to-eye each day this seems different. I would wonder if disclosing this information could make him viable to report this information since they're working at the same institute. Does full confidentialty still apply here, would I be safe in sharing this info with said therapist??

(I realize this is somewhat of a specific question but I'm hoping someone can help )

Thanks
