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.

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.
