Addiction Treatment Services Insurance

Substance abuse treatment is a way to help people who are struggling with drugs or alcohol dependency.  These services that usually are a combination of medical, psychological, and social interventions, aim to assist individuals in managing and recovering from their addiction, promoting long-term sobriety, and improving their overall well-being.

But like any healthcare provider, addiction treatment providers too, have a duty to provide appropriate and professional care to their patients.  Failure to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient, can result in legal action being taken against them.

Common circumstances under which an addiction treatment provider may be sued include:

• Negligence
• Malpractice
• Violation of Patient Rights
• False Advertising or Misrepresentation
• Wrongful Death
