Proof Required?
A class action settlement has been reached involving a data breach at Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services (DATS), a provider of addiction treatment and recovery services. If your personal information was exposed in this breach, you may be entitled to compensation β€” even if you experienced no direct financial harm as a result. Data breaches at healthcare and treatment facilities are especially serious because the information involved can be highly sensitive. Medical records, treatment history, and personal identifying information from addiction treatment providers are among the most private details a person can have. When that data is compromised, the consequences can go beyond typical identity theft concerns. A settlement has been proposed to compensate individuals whose information was affected. While full details of the settlement terms are still being confirmed, this page will help you understand what we know so far and how to determine if you may qualify to file a claim.

How Much Can You Get?

The exact payout amounts for this settlement are still being finalized or have not yet been publicly confirmed. In similar healthcare data breach settlements, class members have typically been able to claim compensation for out-of-pocket expenses related to the breach (such as credit monitoring costs or fraudulent charges), as well as a base cash payment simply for having their data exposed β€” sometimes ranging from $50 to several hundred dollars depending on the settlement fund size. Individuals who can document more serious harm β€” such as identity theft, fraudulent accounts, or significant time spent dealing with breach-related issues β€” often qualify for higher reimbursement tiers.

How do I know if I was affected by the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services data breach?

If you were a patient, employee, or had personal information on file with Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services, you may have been affected. DATS should have sent a breach notification letter to affected individuals by mail or email. If you received such a letter, you are likely eligible to file a claim.

What information was exposed in the DATS data breach?

The specific types of data compromised in the breach are still being confirmed. However, healthcare and treatment facility breaches commonly involve names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, and treatment records. Given the sensitive nature of addiction treatment services, the exposed data could be especially private.

Do I need proof to file a claim for the DATS data breach settlement?

You will likely need to provide some form of verification that you were affected, such as your breach notification letter or proof that you were a patient or employee of Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services. Keeping any correspondence you received from DATS about the breach is strongly recommended. Additional documentation of any out-of-pocket losses can also strengthen your claim.
