Transitions Inc., a key organization in Northern Kentucky’s fight against drug and alcohol addiction, has received CARF International Accreditation for the next three years.
This accreditation is only given to behavioral health organizations that demonstrate that their treatment services, personnel and documentation clearly indicate an established pattern of conformance to CARF Standards.
CARF states that “This achievement is an indication of your organization’s dedication and commitment to improving the quality of the lives of the persons served.”
The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)
- Provides a framework, then consults and advises health and human service organizations to help improve their service quality.
- Is a nonprofit accreditor of health and human services. Its goal is to ensure that persons served remain at the center of the service delivery process.
- Offers accreditation services and support for health and human services programs.
Transitions’ Intensive Outpatient Treatment, Outpatient Treatment and Residential Treatment programs, serving adult men and women, received the CARF Accreditation.
“Transitions’ Board and staff take great pride in achieving this high level of accreditation,” says Jim Beiting, Transitions’ CEO. “We continue to use the CARF standards as part of Transitions’ ongoing commitment to improving the quality of our substance use disorder treatment programs.”
The accreditation was first reported in the Tribune last month, and was formally announced by Transitions Tuesday.
