Centerstone earns three-year CARF accreditation

CARF International announced that Centerstone has been accredited for a period of three years for its programs. Centerstone and its legacy organizations have received accreditation for more than 25 years.

“Being CARF accredited assures that Centerstone meets the highest quality standards for our programs and our facilities,” says Janette Heath, vice president of clinical excellence at Centerstone. “It means we are committed to quality care and are actively seeking feedback to continue to improve upon our services and enhance our treatment outcomes.”
