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.

For a Part 2 program, keeping the notice, consent forms and policies on the current rule is part of the compliance officer function. Thirty minutes, no charge, and I will tell you honestly whether it is something I can help with.
