Common questions about addiction treatment websites

Can my treatment center website advertise success rates?

Only if they are based on verifiable, methodologically sound data. The FTC has taken action against treatment centers making unsubstantiated claims. If you cite outcomes, disclose the methodology, sample size, and timeframe.

What patient privacy rules apply to addiction treatment websites?

42 CFR Part 2 provides additional privacy protections beyond HIPAA for substance use disorder treatment records. Your website testimonials, case studies, and success stories must comply with these stricter requirements.
