Federal law protects the confidentiality of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment records. For over 50 years, federal law has protected the privacy rights of people who seek treatment for SUD from federally assisted programs. The law and its implementing regulations are commonly referred to as 42 CFR Part 2. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of any treatment relationship. For people receiving SUD treatment, strict confidentiality protections mean that you can share information about past and current drug use without worrying that it will be used against you by the police, landlord, employer, judge, or social worker. For people considering whether to enter treatment, studies consistently show that confidentiality and privacy are major considerations. Until we have eliminated the stigma and criminalization of substance abuse disorders, patients need the right to access treatment without worrying that their records will not be used to take away their children, housing employment, insurance, public benefits, or freedom. 42 CFR Pt. 2 generally requires a patient’s written consent before making a disclosure of protected records. Patient consent must always be written and include specific information about the recipient of the records and the records to be shared. There are a few limited exceptions when providers can make disclosures without a patient’s written consent, including: Medical emergency Reports of alleged child abuse or neglect Reports of crime at Cardinal Housing Network residences Qualified audits or evaluations of the program Research Qualified service or organization agreement Part 2 generally requires a special court order before your records can be shared with law enforcement or a court. A subpoena, general court order, search warrant, or official request is not enough for law enforcement to access your treatment information. When Part 2 records are shared with a patient’s consent, the records must be accompanied by a notice prohibited redisclosure, so that the recipient knows they may not re-disclose information except as permitted by Part 2. Both Part 2 and HIPAA protect patient privacy by regulating the way that patient information can be shared and disclosed. HIPAA applies to many types of patient information, not just SUD information, and generally is less protective of patient privacy than part 2. Unlike HIPAA, Part 2’s privacy protections follow the records even after they are disclosed - the recipient of the records is now bound by Part 2’s privacy and security requirements for the Part 2 records.

Feedback and conflict resolution are crucial components in creating a safe, fair, and supportive recovery community. Any resident wishing to submit a grievance for any reason is asked to follow the procedure listed below. The following steps have been developed to resolve the grievance with community wellness at the core. Discuss the event with the CHN Support Coordinator. This should be done as soon as possible after the event. CHN Support Coordinator will seek to bring conflicting parties together in private conversation to find resolve. If no resolution is met, proceed to step two. If the grievance involves the CHN Support Coordinator, discuss the event with the CHN Live in House Manager first. The house manager will work with the Program Director to identify steps to address grievances. If the grievance involves the CHN live-in house manager, discuss the event with the CHN Support Coordinator first. Provide a written synopsis of the grievance and submit it to the CHN Support Coordinator and Program Director. Either the Support Coordinator or Program Director will provide a response to you within two (2) working days in writing. A scheduled time will be set to discuss the concern. CHN Staff will work to create mediation between conflicting parties. If necessary, a house meeting will be called to discuss and remedy grievances as a community. If a solution is not identified, the Program Director will work to accommodate affected resident(s) with the governing board if safety is compromised. The governing board will review this manual to clarify, revise, and/or implement policies and procedures as necessary Residents will not be reprimanded or made to suffer harassment or punishment from anyone in the Cardinal Housing Network for filing a grievance.
