Substance use disorder records (42 CFR Part 2)
Records of substance use disorder treatment, including recovery and SBIRT services, are protected by federal law (42 U.S.C. § 290dd-2 and 42 CFR Part 2) in addition to HIPAA. Generally we may not say to anyone outside the program that you attend it, or disclose information identifying you as having a substance use disorder, unless you consent in writing, the disclosure is allowed by a court order meeting Part 2 requirements, it is made to medical personnel in a medical emergency, or another Part 2 exception applies. These records may not be used to investigate or prosecute you without a qualifying court order. Violations may be reported to the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey and to SAMHSA.
