Patients have the right to confidentiality. We count on you to respect the rights of other patients and their family members regarding confidentiality and assure you that our staff is committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality as well.
To protect your privacy, SAFE staff will not confirm or deny the presence of any patient without the patient's written consent. This applies to families as well.
Confidentiality/Patient Records
SAFE is a HIPAA compliant facility and follows federal and state regulations regarding confidentiality and the release of patient information, which may include the following: psychiatric diagnosis, drug and alcohol abuse, and HIV/HBV status. It is our policy to disclose treatment information both verbally and in writing to referring clinicians whenever necessary to further the objectives of diagnosis and treatment. Speak with your therapist about any concerns you may have regarding your medical records.
