Confidentiality

Privacy and Confidentiality

Privacy and confidentiality are fundamental aspects of our program. It is our legal obligation to guarantee your privacy, though it is also our moral responsibility to facilitate trust through confidentiality, creating a secure environment that is most conducive to your recovery.

Patient Rights

We ensure that clients are fully aware of their legal rights upon admission to the program.These rights are outlined in a number of state and federal laws, which notably include:

Protected Health Information

HIPAA — Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act

HIPAA, which was passed by Congress in 1996, created a Privacy Rule with regard to the disclosure of Protected Health Information by insurance providers and addiction treatment centers. Pursuant to this rule, the personal records of each patient are kept strictly private and any disclosure of this information is limited only to cases wherein he or she has given express consent.

Patient Record Provisions

42 Code of Federal Regulations Part 2

Title 42, Chapter I, Subchapter A Part 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations codifies the provisions regarding patient records at drug and alcohol treatment centers and can be viewed here.

Commitment to Confidentiality

Privacy, Trust & Sobriety

RECO Intensive’s legal and professional duty to adhere to these laws is enhanced by our strong personal commitment to your confidentiality. Each and every member of our staff exemplifies this commitment on a daily basis, as we believe that addicts are better able to succeed when they are living and recovering in a safe, honest environment. We want every patient to trust in our mission, and work diligently to protect your anonymity throughout your participation in the program.

Frequently asked questions

Is my treatment at RECO Intensive confidential?

Yes — and we mean it. All communication with our team is protected by HIPAA and the federal substance-use confidentiality law (42 CFR Part 2), which is even more protective than HIPAA alone.

Will my employer find out I am in treatment?

Only if you choose to tell them, or if you authorize us to communicate with them (e.g., for FMLA or EAP paperwork). We do not contact employers without your written consent.

Can family members get updates on my treatment?

Only with your written consent (a signed Release of Information). You decide who gets what information.

What if I have a custody case or licensing matter?

We work confidentially with courts, attorneys, and licensing boards when you authorize us to do so. We never disclose without your consent.

Are records kept after I discharge?

Yes — clinical records are retained as required by Florida and federal law. They remain confidential and are released only with your written consent.
