• Referrals to treatment programs.
• Communications regarding addiction treatment.

Consent Requirements

When Information May Be Shared

• Medical emergency situations where sharing is necessary to protect health or safety.
• Research with proper safeguards and de-identification where applicable.
• Valid court orders or other legal requirements that specifically authorize disclosure.

Your Rights

• Request access to records.
• Request restrictions on disclosures.
• Request amendments where appropriate.
• Request an accounting of disclosures.
