Drug And Alcohol Treatment Services, Inc. Puts 22,215 Patients at Risk. Are You?

DATS, a behavioral health provider based in Pennsylvania, has announced a major data breach affecting 22,215 patients.

How Did This Happen?

The breach happened on October 5th and 6th, 2024, when an illegal user accessed the organization’s systems. The invasion was investigated, and on April 15, 2025, DATS confirmed that sensitive patient information had been exposed. The incident was made public months later, on December 4, 2025, via an official notice on the DATS website.

What Information Was Leaked?

According to the DATS, a large amount of information was leaked:

• Patient names
• Addresses
• Dates of birth
• Social Security numbers
• Health insurance details
• Patient account numbers
• Medication information
• Diagnosis and treatment details
• Doctors names
• Medical claims and billing data

This is the type of personal and health information that could be exploited for identity theft, insurance fraud, or lasting damage to reputation.

What Could Happen With The Exposed Data?

Criminals may use your Social Security number and health information to make fake insurance claims. Scammers could open new credit lines or receive medical services in your name, leaving you to deal with the fallout.
