Accreditations

• The Joint Commission

  The Joint Commission, previously known as JCAHO, is a nonprofit organization that accredits rehabilitation organizations and programs. Established in 1951, its mission is to enhance the quality of patient care and showcase excellence in healthcare delivery.

  

• SAMHSA certification for opioid treatment program (OTP)

  SAMHSA's Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP) accreditation is a prestigious recognition that signifies a program's compliance with stringent standards and guidelines established by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This accreditation demonstrates an OTP's commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD). It serves as a trusted symbol of accountability and excellence, assuring patients, families, and communities that the OTP offers safe, effective, and comprehensive treatment options for OUD.

• State department of health

  State Licenses, issued by government agencies, authorize rehabilitation organizations to legally operate within designated geographical areas. The specific licenses required for operation are typically determined by both the nature of the rehabilitation program provided by the facility and its physical location.
