How is Confidentiality and Anonymity carried out at HHLLC??

​

• Confidentiality does not apply at HHLLC.  We are not a treatment center, but a fellowship house. We promote communication with families, people in the recovery community, as well as law enforcement agencies. In our experience, this limits "secret keeping", provides additional accountability, and reduces risk.

• We do not discuss resident medications with other residents.  However, we will report prescribed medications in the case of an emergency.  This is the only protected information at HHLLC. 

• We choose to discuss house business as well as behavioral contracts and successes between the three locations and with recovery support persons.   

• Accountabilities are to be discussed in open forums such as the house meetings.  The purpose is not to embarrass a resident, but to bring up a residents awareness.  It is important that everyone be aware of resident behaviors, barriers, and limitations while living in the community.

• We will communicate with court and probation.   We will always be honest with a residents criminal justice personnel, family member, or recovery network .  We hope to use this information to reduce harm, increase the likelihood of asking for help, and to learn how to best deal with situations in the future. 

• We will call your emergency contact if we determine that this is necessary. 

• If a resident reports they are suicidal, that they intend to injure another party, or are found non-responsive, we  will call 911 and report your location.  Next, we will inform any listed emergency contact.  Any resident that prevents emergency personnel from reaching intended person, will be discharged immediately.  

• We do provide Narcan in the common area of each house.  Residents must call 911 before administering Narcan medication.
