A Path To Recovery understands the desire and need for privacy regarding your treatment for substance use.  We want to make sure you are comfortable with every step of the treatment process.

Information regarding participation in substance abuse treatment is protected from disclosure by state and federal law.  A Path To Recovery is committed to ensuring client confidentiality and upholding all laws, regulations, and policies governing confidentiality and the protection of client records. Staff receive relevant training to ensure that they maintain the confidentiality of all clients, including records relating to their identity, and the diagnosis and treatment of substance abuse.

We will only share a client’s protected information:

1. Through written consent from the client.

2. In certain legal or medical contexts where it’s necessary to manage your treatment process (within HIPAA regulations, as stated below).
