Why Licensing & Accreditation Matter

Patient Safety & Quality of Care

Accreditation ensures facilities meet evidence-based standards for safety, quality, and effectiveness. Patients receive care that has been independently verified to meet national healthcare standards.

Accountability & Oversight

Licensed facilities undergo regular inspections, audits, and compliance checks by state and accrediting agencies. This oversight protects patients and ensures continuous quality improvement.

Insurance Coverage

Most insurance companies require treatment facilities to be licensed and accredited to be eligible for coverage. Accreditation often enables better reimbursement and broader insurance acceptance.

Legal & Ethical Protection

Licensing protects patients from unqualified providers, predatory practices, and fraudulent facilities. LegitScript certification specifically guards against patient brokering and unethical marketing.

Red Flags: Unlicensed Treatment Facilities

When choosing a treatment facility, beware of these warning signs:

  • Cannot provide proof of state licensing or accreditation
  • Staff without professional licenses or credentials
  • Promises guaranteed results or "miracle cures"
  • Refuses to provide cost estimates or insurance verification
  • Aggressive sales tactics or pressure to admit immediately
  • Offers free flights, accommodations, or kickbacks for referrals

Verify Our Credentials

Our licenses and certifications are public record and can be verified through the issuing organizations. We encourage prospective patients to verify our credentials before admission.
