Greenville, NC – CARF International announced that PORT Health has been accredited for a period of three years for its Outpatient Clinical Treatment and Rehabilitation Program.
This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer-review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable, and accountable.
PORT Health is a not-for-profit organization with offices throughout eastern North Carolina. It has been providing in-patient and out-patient clinical care for mental illness and substance use patients since 2004.
