Accreditations & Compliance FAQs

Straight answers to the questions families and referrers ask most often before choosing a provider.

Is RECO Health accredited?

Yes. The RECO Health Network and its facilities are accredited by The Joint Commission (Gold Seal of Approval), CARF International, licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), and LegitScript-certified. These accreditations apply across our five network brands — RECO Intensive, RECO Immersive, RECO Island, RECO Institute, and RECO Integrated Psychiatry.

What is The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval?

The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval is the nation's most recognized symbol of quality in healthcare. To earn it, a facility must undergo a rigorous on-site survey every three years and demonstrate ongoing compliance with hundreds of national standards covering patient care, medication management, infection control, environment of care, and continuous quality improvement.

What does CARF accreditation mean for a behavioral health program?

CARF accreditation is awarded after an in-depth peer-review process that evaluates a behavioral health program against internationally recognized standards for service quality, person-centered care, outcomes measurement, and continuous improvement. CARF accreditation is required by most major insurers for in-network reimbursement.

Are RECO Health programs licensed in Florida?

Yes. Every RECO Health Network facility is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which regulates substance abuse and mental health treatment providers in the state. Licensure verifies that we meet all Florida statutory requirements for staffing ratios, clinical supervision, facility safety, and patient rights.

Why does LegitScript certification matter?

LegitScript is the certification standard required by Google, Bing, Facebook, and most major advertising platforms before any addiction treatment provider can advertise. Certification involves verification of legal compliance, ethical marketing practices, and operational integrity. Choosing a LegitScript-certified provider protects you from predatory marketing and patient brokering.

How can I verify RECO Health's credentials independently?

Each accreditation can be verified directly through the issuing body's public registry.

Each facility holds its own active license, and the network's accreditations are maintained through coordinated, network-wide quality assurance programs.
