Which organization accredits opioid treatment programs?

Within the Organizational Leadership domain, NAHQ expects quality professionals to understand the roles of accrediting and certifying bodies. The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a nationally recognized accrediting organization that accredits opioid treatment programs (OTPs), among other behavioral health and rehabilitation services.

CHAP focuses primarily on home health, hospice, and community-based services. The AMA develops clinical guidance and policy but does not accredit organizations. NCQA accredits health plans, population health programs, and patient-centered medical homes, not opioid treatment programs. Therefore, CARF is the correct accrediting body, making Option A correct.
