Questions
Steven Stellаr, аn internаtiоnally knоwn rоck star, checked himself into a drug rehabilitation clinic after publicity related to unflattering videos on social media. These videos showed Steven using illegal drugs immediately prior to a public performance, meaning that he was under the influence of illegal drugs while performing on stage. While at the clinic, Steven acknowledged his significant cocaine problem. During group therapy, Steven discussed in detail the drug dealer he frequented to obtain his cocaine while in his hometown of New York City. During one of his break-through sessions, Steven expressed great remorse for harming his 3-year-old daughter on multiple occasions while under the influence of cocaine. Dr. Gloria Galaxy, Steven’s therapist, is concerned about whether she should report the drug-related crimes and the child abuse. Under the Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records Rule, is it likely that Dr. Galaxy can report Steven’s behavior to proper authorities without Steven’s consent?
