Many patients receive substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and related services at integrated healthcare facilities such as community mental health centers (CMHCs) or certified community behavioral health centers (CCBHCs). Some SUD providers at CMHCs or CCBHCs may be subject to the federal law and regulations for substance use disorder treatment records under 42 CFR Part 2. This resource describes key privacy considerations for patients’ SUD treatment records that originate from a Part 2 program or provider within a CMHC.
