Mandated Treatment

Even in mandated treatment, the same level of confidentiality is given to the patient, with one exception - the chain of command will be notified of attendance. They will only be notified of attendance.  No information, other than attendance, no matter how detailed or vague, will be conveyed to the chain of command without the consent of the officer who has been mandated.

Exceptions to this are the same as for all patients in the country, child abuse, elder abuse, imminent threat of danger to self or others. If these cases arise, we still are under no obligation to tell your chain of command, we will take steps to mitigate any risks to you or others, such as arranging for an evaluation in a psychiatric hospital.
