Telehealth & Electronic Communication Disclaimer
Shoreline Medical Addiction Treatment
Effective Date: 2/13/2026
This notice explains the limits of electronic communication and telehealth-related interactions with Shoreline Medical Addiction Treatment (“Shoreline”). It applies to communications made through this website, email, online forms, scheduling tools, telehealth platforms, and other electronic methods.
Informational Use of Website Communications
Communications sent through general website contact forms, popup communication tools, email links, or scheduling requests are intended for administrative or informational purposes only. These methods should not be used to request medical advice, report urgent symptoms, or seek emergency assistance.
Submission of information through the website does not establish a provider–patient relationship and does not create any obligation for Shoreline to provide clinical services.
Security of Electronic Communications
While Shoreline uses reasonable safeguards to protect electronic information, internet-based communications cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Individuals should avoid sending sensitive medical or confidential information through general website forms or standard email.
Secure clinical communication occurs only through approved patient portals or authorized telehealth systems after appropriate registration and consent.
Telehealth Services
When telehealth services are offered, a clinical relationship is established only after:
completion of required registration and consent processes
verification of identity and location as required by law
professional evaluation by a qualified clinician
Telehealth services are subject to:
clinical appropriateness
applicable state and federal laws
technology availability and limitations
Telehealth may not be appropriate for all medical or psychiatric conditions.
Response Times and Monitoring
Electronic messages and website communications are not continuously monitored. Response times may vary based on business hours, staffing, and clinical priorities.
Electronic communication should never be relied upon for urgent or time-sensitive medical needs.
Emergencies
If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Do not rely on website messages, email, or telehealth requests for emergency care.
Non-Clinical and Consulting Services
Certain services offered by Shoreline or affiliated professionals—such as independent evaluations, consulting services, Medical Review Officer (MRO) services, or Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluations—may be non-treatment, non-clinical, or administrative in nature.
Participation in these services does not establish an ongoing treatment relationship unless explicitly stated in a separate written agreement.
Changes to This Disclaimer
Shoreline may update this Telehealth & Electronic Communication Disclaimer periodically to reflect changes in technology, law, or clinical practice. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
