Trust is integral to addiction treatment and recovery.

Without that trust many are unable to reach the point of vulnerability necessary for such life-changing outcomes.
At Discovery Point Retreat, our person-focused approach to treatment is built on the relationships we form with our clients with trust at its core. That’s why we take pride in meeting and exceeding the highest standards of care, giving our clients the peace of mind to focus on the internal work of recovery. Our accreditations reflect this commitment to safety, ethics, and the highest quality care. These include:
THE JOINT COMMISSION
The Joint Commission is the only accrediting organization with the capability and experience to evaluate healthcare organizations across the full continuum of care. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission has been the leader in developing the highest standards for quality and safety in the delivery of healthcare for more than 60 years. Their high standards for behavioral healthcare facilities focus on client safety, risk management and reduction, and overall quality of care. Their thorough, comprehensive assessment looks at all facets of treatment from modalities and administrative procedures to an on-site evaluation of the premises. This is especially important for drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities like Discovery Point Retreat which deal with both the physical and psychological health of our clients.

What Accreditations Can Rehabs Have in Texas?
For addiction rehabilitation facilities in Texas, accreditation serves as an important indicator of quality, safety, and adherence to evidence-based treatment standards. The two most widely recognized accrediting organizations are the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the The Joint Commission. These organizations evaluate addiction treatment centers on factors such as clinical quality, patient safety, treatment planning, staff qualifications, and continuous performance improvement. In addition to national accreditation, addiction rehab facilities in Texas must be licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to provide substance use disorder treatment services. Some facilities may also obtain specialized certifications or recognitions for programs such as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder treatment, or opioid treatment services. Accreditation and licensure help ensure that addiction rehab centers meet established standards of care and provide safe, effective treatment for individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders.
It is common and generally acceptable for an addiction rehabilitation facility to hold accreditation from either the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities or the The Joint Commission rather than both. Each organization has rigorous standards for quality of care, patient safety, staff qualifications, and operational performance, and accreditation from either body is widely recognized as a strong indicator of a facility’s commitment to high-quality treatment. While some rehab centers choose to maintain both accreditations, having one nationally recognized accreditation is often sufficient to demonstrate compliance with industry best practices and a dedication to continuous improvement.
Why Are Accreditations Important?
Accreditations are important because they provide independent verification that an addiction rehabilitation facility meets established standards for quality, safety, and clinical care. Organizations such as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and the The Joint Commission conduct comprehensive evaluations of treatment programs, policies, staff qualifications, patient safety practices, and organizational performance. Accreditation demonstrates that a facility is committed to delivering evidence-based treatment, maintaining high ethical and professional standards, and continuously improving its services. For patients and families, accreditation can provide greater confidence that the rehab center has undergone a rigorous external review and is dedicated to providing safe, effective care for individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders.
How is Accreditation Awarded & Maintained?
During the accreditation process, surveyors review the facility’s policies, clinical practices, patient safety procedures, staff qualifications, documentation, and overall compliance with established standards of care. Facilities must demonstrate that they provide high-quality, evidence-based treatment and maintain systems that support positive patient outcomes. Accreditation is not permanent; to maintain accredited status, facilities must continue meeting the accrediting organization’s standards and participate in periodic re-evaluations, which may include onsite surveys, performance reviews, and ongoing reporting requirements. This continuous oversight helps ensure that accredited addiction treatment centers remain committed to quality improvement, patient safety, and effective treatment services over time.
How to Verify Rehab Accreditation Status
A rehabilitation facility’s accreditation status with the The Joint Commission can be verified through the organization’s public “Find Accredited Organizations” directory. This searchable database allows individuals to confirm whether a rehab center currently holds Joint Commission accreditation by searching the facility’s name, location, or type of service. Because the directory is maintained directly by The Joint Commission, it is considered the most reliable source for verifying accreditation status.
