In recognition of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is launching a new public education campaign to highlight the Department’s ongoing efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. 
The new campaign will inform the public about civil rights protections that may apply to persons in recovery from an opioid use disorder and ensure that organizations are aware of their obligation to comply with federal nondiscrimination laws. A video, titled “Federal Nondiscrimination Laws and Opioid Use Disorders,” provides more information about the campaign.
The video, along with fact sheets, postcards, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidance materials will be housed on a new OCR webpage dedicated to the opioid crisis.
