Recovery Ways Addiction Treatment Centers Receives JCAHO Accreditation

Online, October 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In an ongoing effort to publicly demonstrate their organization's commitment to client safety and care, Utah-based Recovery Ways Addiction Treatment Center has won accreditation from The Joint Commission, an independent organization for health care accreditation in the U.S.

According to The Joint Commission's Mary Cesare-Murphy, Ph.D., the accreditation "is a demonstration of the organization's leadership and staff commitment to excellence." She further stated, "Joint Commission accreditation requires organization-wide dedication to providing safe, client-focused care, treatment and services."

The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™ was awarded only after a surprise visit to the Recovery Ways Addiction Treatment Center in Utah, where an intense evaluation of outpatient programs and residential treatments was conducted. Being accredited by The Joint Commission is recognition that Recovery Ways' programs meet or exceed Commission standards on a consistent basis.

In an official statement, Recovery Ways Addiction Treatment Center officials said, "We sought accreditation for our organization because we want to demonstrate our commitment to our patient's safety and quality care. We view obtaining Joint Commission accreditation as another step toward achieving excellence."

As an effective drug rehab and alcohol addiction treatment center, Recovery Ways seeks to provide care and treatment, with compassion, to those dealing with substance abuse and addiction problems. Recover Ways operates treatment centers in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. You can learn more about them by visiting their website at www.RecoveryAddictionTreatment.com.

The Joint Commission is the oldest medical and health care standards organization in the U.S., having been established in 1951. The non-profit agency develops standards to improve the quality of health care across the nation, and uses accreditation to encourage providers to go above and beyond in the safety, effectiveness, and value of the services they render. To date, The Joint Commission has accredited 17,000 individual entities including hospitals, home care agencies, and other health care providers.
