contained in records confidential, not as public records. While in most cases, ADHSIDBHS
may accomplish this by redacting the client identifying information from the record, in these
two cases, simply redacting the client identifying information is insufficient to protect against
unauthorized disclosure. Consequently, all clinical information, records and documents will
also be redacted. _
Based upon the size of your request and the redacting process, ADI-IS/DBHS approximates that
your request can be processed within 5 working days from our receipt of your payment.
Please notify us if you would like us to proceed with processing your request.
