By statute in Michigan, physicians need not treat drug abusers for drug related illness. While Michigan law does not require doctors or hospitals to treat drug abusers for their drug related diseases, federal law, with respect to hospitals, commends this action in emergency circumstances and a hospital’s failure to meet the aforesaid federal mandate could place its federal aid in jeopardy. The Federal Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 allows the Secretary of HEW and the Attorney General of the U.S. to accord confidentiality to drug abuse programs they deem to be research and rules have been adopted pursuant thereto. The Federal Drug Abuse Office and Treatment Act of 1972 makes records of drug abuse prevention functions conducted, funded or assisted by the federal government confidential, subject only to certain safeguards. Under state law, confidentiality attaches to any communication concerning the identity of patients or research subjects involved in drug abuse.
