Licensing and Accreditation

How to License an Addiction Treatment Facility

The most basic and essential aspect of any addiction treatment program licensing is applying for your state license. To state the obvious, you can’t operate without your license. The process is INCREDIBLY tedious and nuanced. It’s difficult to do when you know what to look for and very difficult when you don’t!

Consequently, professionals who have experience licensing facilities will tell you the state license is considered the easy part.

Understanding State Licensing Vs. Third Party Accreditation

On the other hand, getting your Joint Commission accreditation is considerably more difficult. To better understand the nuanced differences, you should refer to the Joint Commission website.

Fortunately for you, our team has experience licensing and accrediting facilities at various levels of care including but not limited to residential, sober living, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization.
