Hope 4 2morrow Counseling & Treatment Center
Effective Date: August 28, 2026
Hope 4 2morrow Counseling & Treatment Center (“Hope 4 2morrow”) is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the individuals we serve.
As a provider of mental health and substance use disorder treatment services, we protect health information in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), applicable Ohio and federal privacy laws, and, when applicable, the additional confidentiality protections for substance use disorder records under 42 CFR Part 2.
This policy explains how information collected through our website and during the course of providing services may be used, protected, and disclosed.
Protected Health Information
Protected Health Information (PHI) is information that can identify an individual and relates to their health, treatment, services, or payment for health care.
This may include information you provide to Hope 4 2morrow when:
- Requesting information about our services;
- Contacting our admissions or treatment team;
- Completing an inquiry or contact form;
- Participating in an assessment or admission process; or
- Receiving treatment or services from Hope 4 2morrow.
We take reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures to protect the confidentiality and security of PHI as required by applicable law.
How We Use Health Information
Hope 4 2morrow may use or disclose PHI as permitted or required by law for purposes that include:
Treatment: To provide, coordinate, and manage your care and services.
Payment: To obtain payment for services, verify coverage, and communicate with Medicaid, insurance plans, managed care organizations, or other authorized payers.
Health Care Operations: To operate our programs, coordinate services, maintain quality and compliance, and perform necessary administrative activities.
When Required by Law: We may disclose information when legally required or permitted, including certain health and safety situations.
We will not sell your PHI or use it for purposes that require your written authorization without obtaining that authorization.
Substance Use Disorder Information
Because Hope 4 2morrow provides substance use disorder treatment, certain records may receive additional confidentiality protections under 42 CFR Part 2.
These protections generally place additional limitations on when information identifying an individual as having received substance use disorder treatment may be disclosed.
Hope 4 2morrow will obtain patient consent before using or disclosing Part 2-protected information when consent is required by law.
Part 2-protected records generally cannot be used to investigate or prosecute a patient or used against a patient in a legal proceeding without the patient's specific written consent or an appropriate court order meeting federal requirements.
Information Submitted Through Our Website
You may choose to provide personal information through our website when contacting Hope 4 2morrow or requesting information about treatment or services.
Information submitted may include your:
- Name;
- Phone number;
- Email address;
- Contact preferences; and
- Information you choose to provide regarding treatment or services.
When information submitted through our website qualifies as PHI, Hope 4 2morrow will handle it in accordance with applicable HIPAA and confidentiality requirements.
Please do not submit detailed or highly sensitive medical or treatment information through a general website contact form or regular email unless the communication method is specifically identified as secure.
Submitting an inquiry through this website does not establish a provider-patient relationship.
Website Technology & Third-Party Services
Our website may use cookies and standard website technologies to support website functionality, security, and performance.
Our website may also be hosted or supported by third-party service providers. A third-party provider's privacy policy describes that provider's practices and does not replace Hope 4 2morrow's obligations to protect PHI.
When a third-party service provider handles PHI on behalf of Hope 4 2morrow, we require appropriate privacy and security protections when required by HIPAA.
Hope 4 2morrow does not knowingly permit PHI to be shared through website tracking or analytics technologies in a manner prohibited by HIPAA.

Under HIPAA and other applicable laws, you may have the right to:
- Request access to or a copy of your health records;

- Request that we communicate with you in a specific way or at a specific location;
- Request information about certain disclosures of your health information;

- File a privacy complaint without fear of retaliation.
Some rights may be subject to limitations or requirements under applicable law.
Our Responsibility to Protect Your Information
Hope 4 2morrow is required to maintain the privacy and security of PHI and follow applicable federal and state confidentiality requirements.
If a breach occurs that compromises protected information, Hope 4 2morrow will provide notification when required by law.
We will not use or disclose your health information for purposes requiring your authorization without first obtaining your permission.
