Top 3 reasons to be JCAHO accredited
At A Better Today, we understand the importance of substance abuse treatment centers that continuously strive to grow and offer the best care possible. Of the 13,339 addiction treatment centers that responded to the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services, less than 20% of substance abuse treatment facilities were accredited by the Joint Commission.
Reason 1:
Accreditation by the Joint Commission assures that treatment centers stay ahead of the curve. The behavioral healthcare standards are put forth by the Joint Commission and come from a close analysis of the quickly changing behavioral healthcare field.
The Joint Commission focuses on requiring standards, such as state-of-the-art technologies and proven comprehensive guidelines, that each substance abuse treatment center should strive to meet. Studies show that accreditation programs improve care and raise the amount of positive clinical outcomes within substance abuse treatment center organizations. Joint Commission accreditation signifies that the organization meets the consensus for quality care in behavioral health and substance abuse.
Reason 2:
They are being accredited means that a treatment center cares about the supervision, qualifications, and overall leadership of its clinical staff and team. The Joint Commission requires physician oversight for certain services, and staff must be certified to fulfill many of the positions within a treatment center. Their requirements signify what has been proven as the best practice in substance abuse and behavioral health and are backed by extensive research and study from real data.

Reason 3:
Being accredited proves that a treatment center cares about the individual patient experience. Accreditation assures that facilities use person-focused standards and understand the importance of individualized treatment versus a one-size-fits-all treatment model.
Being an accredited treatment center proves that they have modeled their treatment the way that leading medical experts and professionals recommend and use only evidence-based treatment in their programs. Accredited treatment centers have worked diligently to ensure that their clinicians, staff, available treatments, and curriculum represent the highest standard of care possible. Accreditation shows that they will do whatever it takes to see long-lasting positive outcomes in their patients.
A Top Priority
Many treatment centers want to achieve the highest level of care that is possible to achieve within substance abuse treatment center facilities. Accredited by the Joint Commission shows that a treatment center has made a commitment and priority to be an accountable and transparent substance abuse treatment center to the medical community and to look for new ways to improve their substance abuse treatment program.
