Data Breach at Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services (DATS)
On or around May 2, 2025, DATS, a drug and alcohol addiction services provider based in Pennsylvania, began notifying consumers that its consumer and patient data had been impacted through a cybersecurity incident.
It was discovered that the unauthorized third party had gained access to consumers’ personal and private health information from October 5, 2024 through October 6, 2024. Following its investigation in December 2024, DATS discovered that approximately 22,215 former and current patients may have been impacted by the breach with the unauthorized party gaining access to sensitive information including the following:
- Names
- dates of birth
- medical histories
- treatment information
- health insurance information
- medical claims information

- Social Security numbers
- financial information
Samantha Holbrook Appointed Co-Lead in DATS Class Action Lawsuit
On May 14, 2025, Shub Johns & Holbrook filed a class action lawsuit against DATS for the potential impact that the data breach could have or has already had on affected individuals.
