CARF Accreditation

CMHC, Inc. is not a private practice but a healthcare corporation nationally accredited by CARF. We are similar to a hospital, a medical practice that is corporate-owned and operated, and other corporations. Our facilities are recognized by SAMSHA and other bodies listing healthcare and specialty facilities. Unlike private practice, there are specific bylaws, policies, and procedures, a board of directors and department and program directors with duties, utilization review, quality assurance supervision and audits, annual audits, clinical privileging of an HR department, and other corporate requirements. A trainee must be selected, privileged as a resident/intern/trainee, and have assigned and qualified clinical supervision and program and educational rotations. Private practice is a much more variable and non-accredited structure with often loosely affiliated and regulated practitioners that are usually independent, not accountable to a formal board, and not supervised by healthcare accrediting bodies. A group practice differs from a private practice and is often somewhere between a private practice and a healthcare facility.

CMHC, Inc. is proud to be accredited by a national accrediting body as a comprehensive community mental health facility serving children, adolescents, families, having day treatment for the severely mentally ill and seriously addicted, and adult outpatient mental health and substance use services. Our last national accreditation site visit was in early 2022, and we got the highest rating and certification possible in three years! Our next site visit will be in 2025.
