The Importance of Accreditation
Why is accreditation so important in the behavioral health industry? In general, there’s two reasons. First, the accreditation process itself is an evaluation by a third-party agency to determine if all of the policies, procedures of a treatment center are up to modern-day standards. As well, it’s an opportunity for the third party agency to determine if the providers of care meet industry standards. The second reason why accreditation is so important is that without it, treatment centers cannot be reimbursed by insurance. Would you want to accept treatment from a health care provider insurance companies refuse to pay?
Joint Commission Accreditation
In the behavioral health care industry, there are two main organizations that accredit treatment facilities. One is referred to as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. This agency does not provide accreditation to hospitals or other providers of care. The Joint Commission is the second accreditation agency. The accredit both behavioral health care centers, hospitals and many other practice areas. The Joint Commission is considered the highest level of accreditation by industry professionals and insurance companies. Some insurance companies will not reimburse behavior health treatment centers without Joint Commission Accreditation.
What Does the Joint Commission Do?
The Joint Commission does a thorough inspection of the physical treatment center to make sure it meets their safety standards. It also analyzes all of the policies and procedures of the behavioral health organization to insure the greatest care is provided. Some of the many things they address are patient safety, patient privacy policies, patient communications and the accurate documentation of care.

What Our Alumni Say About Us
“How can I put it…even though there’s other clients, it’s almost like it’s one-on-one. And the attention, as far as talking to therapists, your counselors, psychiatrists, and the groups and the meetings have been great. It’s nothing but good attention!”
“It was a blessing to stumble upon Solution Based Treatment. They’ve taught me how to be a better communicator, they’ve taught me how to live with myself and not run away. I attribute this to the care and the accountability of the staff here..”
“Within weeks of being here I realized there was a whole thing that existed, which was like, caring people. This program…I am just amazed over and over again by the staff. They actually care. Like, this isn’t just a job. This is not where you go just to make a living…they love us.”
“Before I got here I had no coping skills. I couldn’t communicate any other way but passively and I had no idea how to set a boundary. Now I know my triggers, I know how to identify them and use things to battle them…I can’t even tell you how many things I’ve learned.”
“Oh my gosh…The counseling and the therapy have probably been some of the biggest things for me. I have been in treatment multiple times and I’ve never had the one-on-one counseling or therapy that I’ve gotten here. If you truly want recovery and professionalism…this is absolutely the place to be.”
