REQUEST FOR TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION -- INFORMATION
CONFIDENTIAL. A person may request treatment and rehabilitation for addiction
or dependency to any drug, as defined in section 37-3101, from a physician
qualified to administer such treatment under the provisions of this act; and
such physician or any employee or person acting under his direction or
supervision shall not report or disclose the name of such person or the fact
that treatment was requested or has been undertaken to any law enforcement
officer or agency; nor shall such information be admissible as evidence in any
court, grand jury, or administrative proceeding unless authorized by the
person seeking treatment. A physician may undertake the treatment and
rehabilitation of such person or refer such person to another physician or
hospital for such purpose. If the person seeking such treatment or
rehabilitation is sixteen (16) years of age or older, the fact that such
person sought treatment or rehabilitation for such drug addiction or
dependency, or that he is receiving such treatment or rehabilitation service,
shall not be reported or disclosed to the parents or legal guardian of such
person without his consent, and such person who may give legal consent to
receive such treatment and rehabilitation under the provisions of this act
shall be counseled as to the benefits of involving his parents or legal
guardian in his treatment or rehabilitation.
