About Elevate Behavioral Health

CARF accreditation CARF International is an independent, nonprofit organization that surveys and accredits health and human services providers worldwide.

A service or program that is CARF accredited has passed an in-depth on-site review and has demonstrated substantial conformance to internationally recognized standards for quality.

Elevate has received two 3 year CARF accreditations since March 2021 in the following programs:

  • Intensive Outpatient Program
  • Outpatient Psychotherapy
Recently we added Community Housing to our 3 year accreditation.
Our accreditation is a public commitment that we strive to:

  • Involve persons served and their families in their service planning.

  • Respect individual cultural preferences.

  • Be accountable to our funding sources, referral agencies, and the community at large.

  • Address health and safety concerns, such as building safety and emergency preparedness.

  • Maintain management practices that are efficient, cost-effective, and based on outcomes and consumer satisfaction.
