Recipient Rights Files

Before receiving any services from a CMHS Program, each individual must be given proper notice of his or her rights. The State of Michigan has established certain safeguards designed to protect the rights of individuals who receive mental health or developmental disability services through the CMHS system. These rights come from the Mental Health Code as well as state and federal statutory and case law. In addition to outlining the consumer's rights, the Mental Health Code and applicable administrative rules provide consumers with information identifying what they should do in the event they feel their rights have been violated. If the consumer feels that any of their rights under the Mental Health Code or the rules promulgated under the Act have been violated, they have the right to file a complaint. These files will document consumer complaints and may contain a complaint form, investigation notes, treatment plans, progress notes, correspondence, reports, and other supporting documentation.
