DELAY OF FINAL RULE (SAMHSA-42 C.F.R. Part 2) ON THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG TREATMENT INFORMATION

This regulatory “freeze” impacts the recently-released Final Rule (SAMHSA-42 C.F.R. Part 2) modernizing federal regulations that govern the confidentiality of substance use disorder patient records.
