Attorneys for Sexual Assault Victims at Drug Rehabilitation Centers

Advocating for Survivors in Treatment Facilities

Rehabilitation centers should be safe spaces where individuals recovering from addiction receive care and support as they work toward a healthier future. However, when staff, volunteers, or other patients commit sexual assault and the facility fails to act, vulnerable individuals face further trauma. Survivors of these incidents deserve justice. 

At Mitchell & West, LLC, we provide legal support to survivors of sexual assault in rehab centers, helping them navigate the legal system. We work to hold facilities accountable for negligence, abuse, and failure to protect those in their care.

If you or a loved one experienced assault in a rehab center, contact our firm online or call (305) 783-3301 today to discuss your legal rights.

How Rehab Centers Fail Their Patients

Patients in drug or alcohol rehabilitation programs are often in a fragile state, and the facility has a legal and moral obligation to protect their safety. Unfortunately, some centers lack proper hiring protocols, staff training, or supervision systems.

Common forms of negligence at rehab centers include:

• Hiring staff with a history of misconduct or criminal behavior
• Ignoring or dismissing complaints of inappropriate conduct
• Failing to monitor co-ed housing or overnight interactions
• Not separating patients with known behavioral issues

It’s crucial for rehab centers to prioritize patient safety and address any signs of negligence immediately. By implementing strict protocols, proper staff training, and attentive supervision, these facilities can create a secure environment for healing and recovery.

The Role of Civil Litigation in These Cases

These failures are not only unethical—they can create the conditions for devastating abuse. Victims often suffer in silence due to fear, shame, or the belief that no one will believe them. Our sexual assault attorneys are committed to changing that narrative.

By filing a civil claim, survivors may be able to recover compensation for therapy, lost wages, relocation, and other damages tied to the assault. More importantly, legal action can drive real change within the facility and prevent future harm to others in recovery.
