   In 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services released a final rule updating the regulations around the use and disclosure of substance use disorder treatment records. Commonly known as “Part 2” records (as the regulations are found at 42 CFR Part 2), these records are subject to different standards than other mental or physical health treatment records. The goal of this final rule was to bring these standards closer to alignment with existing HIPAA regulations, allowing for a reduction in administrative burden and more focus on quality care.
