Check Treatment Centers Accreditation
posted in Addiction Treatment |
Here’s a tip for pre-screening a treatment center via their website. See if you can find out if they are accredited. Some sites make this nice and easy Cirque Lodge, for example, has put their stamp from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) about half way down their home page on the right hand side.
Of course, not any accreditation will do, JCAHO and CARF Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities are both reputable and there are others as well. In addition, you can check with your single state agency contact though they may go by different names in different states these are the agencies that oversee alcohol and drug treatment liscensing in individual states.
