Confidentiality
The confidentiality of information in GPCS records is guaranteed under federal statutes dealing with protected health information generally, and stricter standards which apply to substance abuse treatment information.

Urinalysis and Drug Surveillance
The policy of the Substance Abuse program is that urinalysis is voluntary, but is recommended in order to provide the most effective treatment. Courts and probation or parole officers may also require that their supervisees conform to all program recommendations, including urinalysis.
