A counselor works in a federally assisted outpatient substance use disorder program covered by 42 CFR Part 2. A client collapses in the lobby after an apparent overdose and is unresponsive. Paramedics ask what the client has been using. No written consent covers this disclosure. What may the counselor do?

• BShare what the medical personnel need, then document the disclosure in the record
• CAsk the client's family to sign consent on the client's behalf before speaking
• DRefuse to share anything, because Part 2 requires written consent for every disclosure
