I am a client of New Hope IBHC Central Region 48 Hour IDRC and have have been referred to additional assessment, education or treatment for completion of my IDRC program requirements.
This statement is to certify that a list of approved treatment providers has been shown to me and that I selected the following program
CONFIDENTIALITY OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE PATIENT RECORDS
The confidentiality of alcohol and drug patient records maintained by this program is protected by Federal law and regulations. Generally, the program may not say to a person outside this program that a patient attends the program or disclose any information identifying a patient as an alcohol or drug abuser unless:
- The patient consents in writing
- The disclosure is allowed by court order
- The disclosure is made to medical personnel in a medical emergency or to qualified personnel for research, audit, or program evaluation
Violation of the Federal law and regulations by a program is a crime. Suspected violations may be reported to appropriate authorities in accordance with Federal regulations.
Federal law and regulations do not protect any information about a crime committed by a patient either at the program or against any person who works for the program or about any threat to commit such a crime.
Federal law and regulations do not protect any information about suspected child abuse or neglect from being reported under State law to appropriate State or local authorities.
