Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
Accreditation is a sign of quality and is an important consideration in their decision making. Consumers look for CARF® accreditation in their choice of treatment for addiction and substance abuse, rehabilitation of a disability, home and community services, retirement living, and other health and human services.
CARF International is the gold standard in rehabilitation accreditation. CARF is an independent, nonprofit organization focused on advancing the quality of services to meet patient needs for the best possible outcomes. Clinics desiring CARF accreditation must undergo a rigorous process, including an on-site survey by a team of expert practitioners, to determine the clinic conforms to CARF’s internationally recognized standards.
CARF International has surveyed hundreds of thousands of programs around the world since it was founded as an independent, nonprofit accreditor in 1966.
NTPRC’s pain management program is the only CARF accredited pain management & occupational rehabilitation program located in the Dallas Fort Worth mid cities area and 1 of only 4 accredited clinics servicing northwestern Texas.
CARF awarded NTPRC the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization.
CARF has given notable praise to NTPRC for the following:
- An Innovative Electronic (paperless) Documentation System
- Free Patient Transportation
- Strong Discharge Planning
- Psychological Assessments
- Excellent Patient Medical Education Classes
NTPRC’s pain management and occupational rehabilitation programs have been CARF accredited since 1999. NTPRC has consistently obtained CARF’s highest level of accreditation, a 3-year accreditation.
