Western Montana Mental Health Center Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Health and Personal Information

Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is investigating a significant data breach involving Western Montana Mental Health Center, a behavioral health and substance abuse treatment provider.

After an extensive forensic investigation, the organization determined that an unauthorized third party had accessed certain files stored on its systems. By May 27, 2025, it was confirmed that the accessed files may have contained both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).

  • Full names

  • Health insurance data

The healthcare provider has stated that not all data types were exposed for every affected individual.
