The chemically dependent patient should be given the same
rights and conscientious care as a patient treated for any other physical ailment. Addicted persons should be assured that
their care will be comprehensive and nonjudgmental and their rights to privacy and decision making respected. Without this
ethical basis and assurance of protection, it would be very difficult for addicts to voluntarily seek treatment without fear
of being discriminated against for doing so or being treated with substandard care. Federal regulations (42 CFR, § Part
2) are in place to protect and enforce a patient's fundamental rights to privacy and nondiscrimination. Addiction treatment
professionals should also be cognizant of the principles of respect and beneficence that are not mandated by any law.
