Legal notice
Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, safeguard, and share personal information.
Scope and effective date
Effective September 10, 2026. This policy explains how Providence Detox handles personal information collected through this website and during inquiries about our services. Our separate Confidentiality and HIPAA Notice describes our practices for protected health information used in care.
Information we collect
We collect information that you choose to provide and limited technical information needed to operate the website.
Information you provide
This may include your name, phone number, email address, preferred contact details, and information you submit while asking about services, admissions, payment, or insurance.
Care-related information
If you become a patient, we may create and maintain records needed to coordinate care, administer services, and meet legal and regulatory obligations.
Website information
Our systems may receive an IP address, browser and device information, referring pages, pages visited, approximate location derived from an IP address, and cookie or similar technology data.
Protected health information
As a health care provider, Providence collects and maintains protected health information needed to provide treatment and coordinate care, process insurance claims and payments, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and perform quality-assurance and improvement activities. The Confidentiality and HIPAA Notice explains the additional rules that apply to this information.
How we use information
We use information only for legitimate operational, care, safety, communication, and compliance purposes.
Respond and coordinate
We use contact details to respond to inquiries, arrange requested calls, explain admissions, and communicate about services.
Provide and administer services
We may use information to support treatment, care coordination, billing, payment, insurance-related requests, quality activities, and facility operations.
Operate responsibly
We may use information to maintain and secure the website, prevent misuse, understand site performance, comply with law, and protect patients, visitors, staff, and others.
When information may be shared
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer personal information to third parties without your consent except as described in this policy or as required by law. We may disclose information to health care professionals involved in care; health plans and payment processors when permitted; vendors that support our operations under appropriate obligations; government agencies, courts, or other parties when the law permits or requires it; persons you authorize; and when reasonably necessary to prevent serious harm to you or others. We do not sell protected health information. Uses and disclosures of health information are further limited by HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2 when applicable, and more protective state law.
Cookies and external services
Cookies and similar technologies can help the site function, remember preferences, measure traffic, and identify technical problems. Browser controls may allow you to block or delete cookies, although parts of the site may then work differently. Third-party services have their own privacy practices, and links to other sites do not make Providence responsible for those sites.
Security and retention
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed for the sensitivity of the information we handle. These safeguards include encrypted data transmission and storage, access controls and authentication procedures, regular security assessments and updates, and staff training on privacy and security practices. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected and as required by clinical, licensing, tax, insurance, recordkeeping, and other applicable rules.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the information and law that applies, you may be able to request access, correction, a copy, confidential communications, restrictions, or an accounting of certain disclosures. You may also withdraw an authorization in writing for future activity. California residents may have additional privacy rights where the relevant law applies. We will verify a request as required and will not discriminate or retaliate because you exercise a privacy right.
Children
This website is intended for adults seeking information about services. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the public website. A parent or legal representative should contact us directly regarding services for another person.
Changes and contact
We may revise this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. The current version will be posted here with a revised effective date. For questions or privacy requests, contact us using the information below.
