Four Circles Recovery Center Achieves CARF Accreditation

Four Circles Recovery Center, a substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders treatment program for young adults ages 18 to 28, is pleased to announce the achievement of accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for a period of three years.

"We are very proud to receive CARF accreditation," said Jack Kline, Executive Director of Four Circles Recovery Center. "This distinction sets us apart for our commitment to excellence, and reinforces that we are operating with the highest standards possible."

CARF is an independent, non-profit accrediting body, which focuses on the promotion of quality, accountability, value and optimal outcomes in providing rehabilitation and human services.

The process for receiving CARF accreditation involves a rigorous consultative process and in-depth review of services by the internationally recognized organization and by those who utilize these services. Programs seeking CARF accreditation show a commitment to continually improving their services.

The official CARF website states: "[Clients] can have the highest possible confidence in programs and services that carry CARF accreditation� Accreditation is a good sign that an organization cares about delivering quality services to its customers� a 'seal of quality' that the organization's services have been awarded because they have delivered positive results."
