KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

People getting care for drug or alcohol use have the same rights as people getting care for any other medical issue. Addiction treatment facilities licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) have to follow a set of rules. Some examples include:

You must sign a consent form for treatment
You can NOT be denied treatment because you are on
a prescribed medication
Programs that provide any type of residential service
You can read the full list of regulations here:

mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/regs/105cmr164.pdf

If you believe your rights have been violated, you have been harmed by a provider or treatment facility, or have received care not up to current quality standards: you should report this immediately to MA DPH. To file a report, call the confidential complaint line:
