Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York

Can Any1 Check If Went to Rehab?

Hello,

A friend of mine might be going to rehab and she asked an important questions, which I was not able to positively answer.

She wants to know, that if she checked herself into a rehab center for drug abuse, could anyone find out? Meaning, if she applies for a job with the city, can they find out, or any other business, or etc?

If the answer is yes that anyone can find out, is there something she must file or ask for...or there is nothing that can be done?

Thanks so much for the help,

JK

There is a therapist/patient privilege that prevent such a disclosure without the patient's permission.
