ACCREDITATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY:
​TWO WAYS WE MEASURE UP​  

In the field of addiction recovery, the highest standard of accreditation is from CARF International — and the gold standard for CARF is the three-year accreditation.

That’s what Mid-Michigan Recovery Services earned again in 2023, marking 21 consecutive years of accreditation by CARF — the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

The detailed process involves site visits, document reviews and anonymous interviews by CARF surveyors. Among their comments for 2023:

“Funding and referral sources report that MMRS is well respected in the community and that its staff members are very responsive, proactive, and quick to take action to help the persons served.”

“They are passionate about the services provided and successful treatment for the persons served.”

“Although the organization is small and many team members take on a multitude of duties, they are able to consistently accomplish the duties exceedingly well.”
