or other identification objects on the premises of a facility. Patients 
may not be required to wear clothing or colored identification bracelets

identify them as being treated for drug or alcohol abuse, HIV infection, 
or sickle cell anemia.
    (b) Treatment locations should not be identified by signs that would

enrolled in a drug or alcohol abuse, HIV infection, or sickle cell 
anemia program or activity.
