We are incredibly proud to share some monumental news: we finally received official notice that effective 4/29/2026 our organization has officially achieved a full, 3-year CARF accreditation for both our Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) and Behavioral Health standards! Achieving a full three-year accreditation on an initial survey is incredibly rare in our field. This phenomenal outcome is a direct reflection of our staffs' unwavering commitment, clinical excellence, and the deep integrity you bring to the OTP and Behavioral Health programs every single day and we thank them for setting the gold standard.
