We often receive substance abuse information from substance abuse treatment facilities, and we are directed to not re-disclose except in compliance with the law. Does this still apply?

Yes. Substance Abuse Treatment facilities will send information to you but stamped with a notice that is directive in terms of re-disclosure. You then re-disclose in compliance with the law (which is 42 CFR Part 2). HIPAA has NO EFFECT on this.
