We cannot discuss any client or potential client with anyone – friends, family, hospitals, agencies, sponsors, etc. – without a written release of information, signed by the client. We are able to generally discuss our program and procedures (non-medical, 12-step based, basic intake procedures, etc.), but must be careful not to disclose specific information about clients.
This applies to law enforcement as well- police are not allowed to enter Dawn Farm sites without proper documentation that conforms to 42 CFR Part 2.
