Privacy Policy
At Roadmap to Recovery LLC, safeguarding your privacy is paramount, guided by state laws and professional standards. While we strive to maintain confidentiality in all circumstances, there are several exceptions and important considerations to be aware of:
-
Court or Employer Referral: If your attendance is mandated by a court or employer for evaluation or treatment, we may be required to provide reports upon request. It's essential to discuss any sensitive information beforehand to ensure your comfort and to understand the potential implications of disclosure.
-
Legal Proceedings: In situations where legal action is involved, such as lawsuits or criminal charges, disclosure may be necessary if you disclose our involvement. It's advisable to seek legal counsel to understand how such disclosures may impact your case.
-
Threats of Harm: If you express serious intentions of harming yourself or others, we are obligated by law to take necessary measures to ensure safety. This may involve disclosing information to appropriate authorities or individuals involved in your care.
-
Reporting Abuse or Neglect: Suspected cases of child or adult abuse or neglect must be reported to the relevant authorities to protect vulnerable individuals.
In addition to these exceptions, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your information in all other instances. We take the following measures to uphold your privacy:

Informed Consent: Your consent is required before sharing any information outside of our facility. A release form detailing the scope and purpose of information sharing will be provided for your review and signature.
-
Insurance Billing: While insurance companies may request information for billing purposes, we endeavor to disclose only what is necessary to facilitate payment. We cannot control how these records are handled by the insurance company, but we aim to minimize the dissemination of sensitive information.

Access to Records: You have the right to review, amend, and obtain copies of your records upon request. We value transparency and encourage open communication regarding your treatment and records.
-
Sensitive Information Handling: In rare cases where certain information may be deemed harmful to your well-being, we may temporarily withhold it from your records after consultation with you. This decision will always be made with your best interests in mind, and you will be involved in the process.
