Choosing Quality Care You Can Trust

At Starting Point Behavioral Healthcare, we understand how important it is to find a care provider that feels right for you. That’s why we’re committed to delivering services of the highest quality. As a CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accredited organization, we have demonstrated our dedication to excellence through rigorous evaluations, including an in-depth review of our programs, practices, and standards.

Since earning our first CARF Accreditation in 2000, we’ve proudly maintained a Three-Year Accreditation—the highest level of achievement awarded by CARF International. This accreditation applies to our services in:

Case Management/Services Coordination
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic
Day Treatment for Adults
Outpatient Treatment for Alcohol and Drug Addictions
Outpatient Mental Health Treatment
Prevention Programs for Alcohol and Drug Addictions

This recognition means you can trust that our care meets the highest international standards for quality and safety. At Starting Point, we don’t just meet expectations—we exceed them, so you can feel confident in your journey toward health and wellness.

When considering a behavioral healthcare provider, how do you evaluate the different available options? Where do you look to determine which providers may offer the highest quality services? The answer is CARF International.

CARF International is an independent, nonprofit accreditor of health and human services providers in the areas of Aging Services, Behavioral Health, Child and Youth Services, Durable Medical Equipment, Employment and Community Services, Medical Rehabilitation, Opioid Treatment Programs, and Vision Rehabilitation Services.

Programs and services that are CARF accredited have demonstrated their conformance to internationally recognized standards for service delivery. They have demonstrated their commitment to continuous quality improvement and a consumer-driven focus.

Persons served and their families look for organizations that are accredited as a sign of quality when looking for services.
Accreditation is evidence to persons served that an organization has demonstrated its commitment to encouraging feedback, continuously improving services, enhancing performance, and managing risk.
Persons served and their families can be confident that services will be focused on their unique needs.

The benefits of conformance to the CARF standards can be realized by both the organization and its persons served.

For the organization, CARF accreditation is a catalyst for continuous quality improvement. CARF surveyors apply a consultative, rather than inspective, approach. They bring with them not only their own wisdom, but also the experience of similar organizations to promote quality within the industry.

For the consumer, choosing a CARF-accredited program or service can provide confidence that an organization is consumer focused and has met international standards for service delivery.
