Accreditation

CARF Accreditation

Santé Center is proudly CARF accredited. CARF International has been accrediting a variety of health and human service providers since 1996. They are a non-profit, independent organization that operates worldwide to ensure clients receive top-notch care. In addition to accrediting qualified facilities, they also offer benefits to those that receive accreditations. Working with a CARF accredited addiction treatment facility gives clients peace of mind and confidence in their providers.

In order for us to receive our CARF accreditation, we’re required to continually work to improve quality, ensure individualized care, and monitor our results. When we renew our accreditation, representatives from CARF visit the facility and conduct a survey that includes our strengths and weaknesses. We receive this survey, take the time to put together quality improvement initiatives, and then must show those improvements each time we apply again.

CARF-accredited service providers have applied CARF’s rigorous, comprehensive, and leading-edge standards for quality to their business and service delivery practices and are recognized for their ongoing innovation and continued conformance to the standards. CARF stands for continuous quality improvement with a focus on the satisfaction of persons served. Each provider’s commitment to excellence is periodically evaluated on site and reconfirmed annually. Achieving accreditation requires a service provider to commit to quality improvement, focus on the unique needs of each person the provider serves, and monitor the results of services.

CARF™ International accreditation provides a visible symbol that assures the public of Santé Center for Healing’s commitment to continually enhance the quality of services and programs with a focus on the satisfaction of the persons served.
