What is CARF Accreditation?

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a globally recognized organization that sets standards for quality in health and human services. Achieving CARF accreditation means that Progressive Counseling has demonstrated compliance with over 1,500 rigorous standards, encompassing everything from clinical practices and patient safety to administrative processes and ethical operations.

The Accreditation Process

Earning CARF accreditation is no small feat. It involves:

• Extensive Internal Audits: Progressive Counseling conducts thorough self-assessments to ensure that all policies, procedures, and services meet CARF’s high standards.
• External Audits by CARF Specialists: CARF reviewers conduct onsite evaluations, interviewing staff, patients, and leadership to verify compliance and excellence.
• Continuous Improvement: CARF emphasizes a culture of continuous growth, innovation, and improvement in the delivery of care.

Why Does This Matter?

CARF accreditation assures clients, stakeholders, and partners that:

• Services are delivered at the highest quality level.
• Progressive operates with transparency, integrity, and effectiveness.
• Clients receive care that is evidence-based, personalized, and aligned with best practices.
