Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services (DATS) Data Breach

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services data breach.

As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.

Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services, Inc. (DATS), an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, discovered unauthorized activity on its network on or around October 6, 2024. After becoming aware of this incident, DATS took action to secure its network and retained third-party cybersecurity specialists to investigate.

The investigation concluded that a limited amount of information may have been accessed as a result of the breach, including files containing patients’ protected health information. Exposed info may include names, medical information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, treatment details, health insurance information, and medical claims and billing information.

A report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on April 24, 2025 indicates that the DATS data breach affected 22,215 people. The non-profit says it is notifying potentially impacted individuals.

If your information was exposed in the data breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.

A successful case could also force Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
