How to Request the Notice of Privacy Practices
Call Affirm Recovery Center at 512-230-7905 to request the current operative Notice of Privacy Practices or to ask where a privacy question should be directed. This page explains how to ask for the notice and does not replace the notice itself.
A direct answer
Is this page the operative Notice of Privacy Practices?
No. This page explains how to request the current notice from Affirm Recovery Center. The operative notice describes applicable privacy practices, rights, duties, contacts, and complaint information based on the provider’s current procedures.
Why should I request the current notice?
Why is a complete legal notice not being invented?
A Notice of Privacy Practices must reflect the provider's real operations and legal obligations. Generic language can be inaccurate about who is covered, how information is used, which rights apply, where requests go, and how complaints are handled. Those facts have not been approved for this website.
Privacy practices depend on the clinic entity, workforce arrangements, records systems, business associate relationships, and consent workflows. Call 512-230-7905 for current privacy contact information before sending records or a rights request.
Substance use disorder records may involve privacy requirements beyond a general website policy. The final notice and related consent forms need specialized review rather than a copied healthcare template.
The public page should be replaced only after the approved notice is complete, accurate, accessible, and connected to the actual request and complaint processes.
Required review categories
What should qualified reviewers confirm before publication?
Reviewers should confirm the covered entity and service scope, permitted and required uses and disclosures, authorization rules, individual rights, provider duties, records and amendment processes, restrictions, communications, breach procedures, complaints, contacts, effective date, accessibility, distribution method, operational implementation, and oversight.
Each statement should be tested against the actual EHR or record system, intake forms, releases, workforce access, vendors, retention practices, and state-specific procedures. A right should not be described without a real way to exercise it.
Contact names, addresses, phone numbers, forms, fees, identity checks, and response periods must come from approved policy. This page does not create any of them.
The final notice should explain where to get a paper or accessible copy and how updates are communicated, but only after those capabilities are implemented and verified.

Records and privacy questions
What can someone do before the final notice is posted?
Call 512-230-7905 and ask which current, verified process applies to a privacy or records question. Do not use the website callback form to send records, detailed clinical information, identification documents, or a rights request. This page promises no portal, email address, fee, or response time.
The person answering may need to route the question rather than resolve it immediately. Do not assume that an admissions team member is authorized to receive or decide a records request.
Before sending sensitive information, confirm the recipient, submission method, identity requirements, and purpose. A public email address or social account should not be treated as an approved records channel.
This page does not limit any right that may apply under law or provider policy. It simply avoids describing a right or process before the facts are approved.

Separate website privacy
How is this notice different from the website privacy policy?
A Notice of Privacy Practices addresses provider handling of protected health information under applicable healthcare privacy rules. A website privacy policy addresses data collected through the public site and its tools. The documents may overlap, but neither should be used as a substitute for the other.
A callback form submission does not by itself confirm an addiction treatment relationship, admission, or the applicability of a specific records rule. The final documents should describe the relationship accurately.
Analytics and advertising disclosures belong in the website policy and technical consent experience. Clinical uses, disclosures, rights, and provider duties belong in the legally reviewed notice and related policies.
Call 911 or 988 in an immediate emergency. Neither document is a crisis process, and website forms should never be used for emergency messages.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you call
Can I rely on this as the current legal notice?
No. This page explains how to request the current operative notice. Call 512-230-7905 so staff can direct you to the notice and the appropriate contact for questions about privacy, records, authorizations, or complaints.
Does this page describe how to request addiction treatment records?
No verified records workflow has been approved for publication here. Call 512-230-7905 and ask which current process applies. Do not send records, identification, or a rights request through a general callback form or unverified email address. Confirm the recipient first.
Does this page promise a records response deadline?
No. It does not promise a deadline, fee, format, portal, email address, or outcome. Any applicable rights and timelines must be described in the final legally reviewed notice and supported by the provider's actual procedures. Operations must verify final implementation.
Is this the same as the website privacy policy?
No. A website privacy policy addresses public-site data and technology. A Notice of Privacy Practices addresses healthcare privacy duties and protected health information when applicable. Both require accurate facts, but they serve different purposes. Separate legal and technical review is required.
Where should an emergency message be sent?
Do not send emergency messages through this page or a website form. Call 911 or 988 in an immediate emergency. Affirm admissions calls are answered 24 hours for addiction treatment inquiries, not emergency stabilization or 24-hour clinical care. Do not delay urgent help.
