The Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, also known as CADAS, has earned the “Gold Seal of Approval” from a national health care accrediting organization.
The Joint Commission gave the accreditation award to the nonprofit alcohol and drug treatment facility after an unannounced visit confirmed CADAS’ compliance with national quality and safety standards, according to a news release.
The accreditation “demonstrates our commitment to client safety and quality care to our community,” Paul Fuchcar, CADAS executive director, said in the release. “We view Joint Commission accreditation as an integral element of our commitment to excellence.”
The Joint Commission conducted an unannounced, on-site evaluation of CADAS from Aug. 16 to Aug. 19.
The Joint Commission, an independent, nonprofit organization, evaluates and accredits nearly 15,000 U.S. health care organizations and programs, including more than 8,000 hospitals and home care organizations.
