Privacy Policy

How we protect your personal information and protected health information.

Last updated: June 2026

Faith Recovery Center is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information collected through our website and admissions communications, and includes our Notice of Privacy Practices for protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA.

Website Information We Collect

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact admissions, submit an insurance verification form, call our facility, or send us a message. This may include your name, phone number, email address, insurance details, and information about the nature of your inquiry.

We also collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This helps us understand how visitors use the site and improve performance.

  • Contact details submitted through forms or phone calls
  • Insurance and admissions-related information you choose to share
  • Technical usage data collected through standard analytics tools
  • Cookies and similar technologies described in our Opt-out Preferences page

How We Use Website Information

We use the information described above to respond to inquiries, verify insurance benefits when requested, coordinate admissions, improve our website, and comply with legal and licensing obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website, communications, and admissions workflows, and with insurers when you ask us to verify benefits.

Notice of Privacy Practices (HIPAA)

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.

When you become a patient, protected health information is governed by HIPAA and the practices described below. Website form data shared before admission is treated as confidential admissions information.

Your Rights

When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights. This section explains your rights and some of our responsibilities to help you.

Get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record

  • You can ask to see or get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record and other health information we have about you.
  • We will provide a copy or a summary of your health information, usually within 30 days of your request. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.

Ask us to correct your medical record

  • You can ask us to correct health information about you that you think is incorrect or incomplete.
  • We may say no to your request, but we will tell you why in writing within 60 days.

Ask us to limit what we use or share

  • You can ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or our operations.
  • We are not required to agree to your request, and we may say no if it would affect your care.
  • If you pay for a service out-of-pocket in full, you can ask us not to share that information with your health insurer for payment or operations purposes.

Get a list of those with whom we have shared information

  • You can ask for an accounting of disclosures of your health information for six years prior to the date you ask, who we shared it with, and why.
  • We will provide one accounting a year for free but may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee if you ask for another one within 12 months.

Choose someone to act for you

  • If you have given someone medical power of attorney or if someone is your legal guardian, that person can exercise your rights and make choices about your health information.
  • We will make sure the person has this authority and can act for you before we take any action.

File a complaint if you feel your rights are violated

  • You can complain if you feel we have violated your rights by contacting us at info@faithrecoverybh.com or (844) 598-5573.
  • You can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/.
  • If you have concerns about the safety or quality of care provided by our organization, you may report a concern to The Joint Commission at jointcommission.org/report_a_complaint.aspx.
  • We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

Your Choices

If you are not able to tell us your preference — for example, if you are unconscious — we may share your information if we believe it is in your best interest or needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.

  • Share information with your family, close friends, or others involved in your care
  • Share information in a disaster relief situation
  • Include your information in a facility directory, when applicable
