Washington

There are two very important accreditations and licenses to consider when determining if a facility provides high-quality services. Firstly, a license to operate from the Washington State Department of Health is an absolute requirement to validate that it is a legitimate recovery facility. Secondly, certification by The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) is a strong indicator of the quality of patient care provided. In addition to these essential credentials, there are other non-required but beneficial indicators of quality care. These include CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation, LegitScript Certification, and a SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) listing. These accreditations can provide additional reassurance that the facility meets high standards in various aspects of addiction treatment.
