I’m in Visalia, California. Are There Drug Rehabs Here That Wouldn’t Mind Being Part of a Documentary?

Question by astrid r: I’m in Visalia, California. Are there drug rehabs here that wouldn’t mind being part of a documentary?
I’m planning to do a documentary on rehabilitation centers. I was just wondering whether there are any drug rehabs around here that’ll allow me to shoot and interview some of the staff and the patients as well.

Best answer:

Answer by ren_faire_rose
You should contact rehab centers directly; I doubt many of the staff / management spend a lot of time in this area.

There are a lot of issues to work out: patient / staff privacy and confidentiality; privacy of treatment. The center may insist on rights to supervise your final edit / product prior to release, distribution or showing. I’m sure there are more considerations that have slipped my mind. Is this a student class project, training program or something destined for cable?

Good luck.
