Can an Additionologist tell your spouse about your addiction?

[curious1998]

I went to this guy yesterday, he told me I had to tell my husband, I have a problem w/ Soma.  I told him I did not want my husband to know.  When I filled out my med. form I put my husbands work number, can he call him and tell him??  He wants to see me tomorrow (11-14) not going back to him, he was not very understanding.  I going to do try and do the tapering system.  Then go to my Doc. for something for depression.  Any thoughts?  Please tell me I have nothing to worry about...you guys are the greatest!

Thanks for any input :) hugs to you all.

Hi, I'm a bit late responding, but here you go:

No doctor can divulge your personal information to ANYBODY.  No exceptions!  Only if you give your permission and sign a form.

Also, if you want to tell your doc something, and you don't wnat it on your record, just tell the doc "I want to tell you something confidential, off the record" and then they cannot put it in your record.

OIf they break either of these two rules, they not only are breaking a code of ethics, they are breaking the law.  You can SUE THEM!  And, they could lose their licenses,

Good luck, and get well - but don't worry about disclosure.

Hi - I don't think Chatahan is here anymore.  He was taunted until he retaliated and then was booted from the forum.

Some people cannot believe things they cannot understand.  Some people can't believe in miracles.

All these Christians that can't wait until the second coming of Christ, probably would lock him up in the loony bin if he ever did show up.

I believe you. It's a fact that some people that have had near death experiences come out of it & can speak different languages that they never had knowledge of. Since the part of your brain that had the seizures is near your speach center, it seems possable.

Those last few words in are always the most humerous, I was almost rolling on the floor in laughter myself. Thank you.
