How many substance use disorder programs post a patient notice that reflects the 2024 Part 2 final rule? This is a rolling, aggregate read — updated as the sample grows. No organization is named.
Of substance use disorder treatment programs with public websites, what share post the Notice to Patients the 2024 rule requires — and of the notices that are posted, how many contain each element the rule requires?
The posted notice is the one piece of Part 2 compliance that is publicly checkable from outside. This study measures, at population scale, how much of the field has actually updated it.
The 2024 Part 2 final rule's compliance date passed on February 16, 2026, and OCR began accepting Part 2 complaints the same day. Every Part 2 program in the country now has a current obligation under §2.22, and the publicly posted notice is the part of it anyone can check.
The sampling frame is public directories — the SAMHSA Opioid Treatment Program Directory and FindTreatment.gov. A program is in scope if it holds itself out as providing SUD treatment and has a public website, since the posting duty attaches to programs with websites.
The gaps cluster in the Part 2-specific elements — the ones a recycled HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices simply doesn't carry. A program can have updated its consent forms and still be posting a notice that predates the rule.
Because this is a rolling study, the number moves as the sample grows. The quarterly delta — how much the field has caught up — is the measurement that matters, and it's re-run on the same frame, not rebuilt.
Aggregate only. No organization is named or identifiable in any published output. A complete notice does not prove compliant practice; an incomplete one does not prove the reverse.
