Maverick Behavioral Health Publishes New Article, ‘Confidentiality Policies in Rehab Centers and Legal Protections’ on Helpful Blog

Euless, Texas – Maverick Behavioral Health, a leading Alcohol & Drug Rehab in Euless, is happy to announce that it has recently published a new article, ‘Confidentiality Policies in Rehab Centers and Legal Protections’ on its helpful blog located on its website.

Understanding that fostering trust with patients is the pivotal first step when embarking on recovery, the premier treatment center’s new article answers the most common questions regarding patients’ sensitive information and confidentiality while also highlighting the key federal laws that enforce the legal obligation for privacy.

When people know their personal information will not be exposed, they are more likely to seek treatment early and fully participate in their care. This contributes not only to more successful treatment outcomes but also to a stronger sense of dignity and empowerment. Maverick Behavioral Health is committed to creating a safe space for patients that emphasizes secure digital records, enforces strict access controls, and ensures that all conversations, appointments, and progress notes are handled with discretion.

The experienced team at the treatment center is thoroughly trained in the principles and legal frameworks that guide confidentiality and understands the serious responsibility of protecting personal information, as well as its impact on patients, to create a respectful and open environment for healing.

Maverick Behavioral Health’s new article discusses the two key federal laws that govern how rehab centers handle patient information: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly referred to as HIPAA, and the federal regulation 42 CFR Part 2.

HIPAA is the broader law that applies to most healthcare providers across the country, ensuring that patients in rehab cannot have their treatment details shared with employers, family members, or outside professionals without clear, written permission. Whereas 42 CFR Part 2 offers a deeper level of privacy specific to individuals undergoing treatment for substance use disorders. This regulation goes beyond the general protections of HIPAA by making it illegal to disclose that someone is even receiving substance use treatment without their consent. The aim is to protect individuals from the stigma and potential consequences that can arise from being identified as a person in recovery.

Despite federal laws, there are certain situations in which information can be disclosed, either with the patient’s approval or under specific legal conditions. The former allows, with written patient consent, a rehab center to speak with a person’s doctor, therapist, legal representative, or a trusted family member who is part of the treatment process. The second situation refers to emergencies where a patient is at immediate risk of harming themselves or someone else and enables a treatment facility to provide emergency responders or law enforcement with the necessary information.
