BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Joint
Commission has awarded River Oaks
its Gold Seal of Approval®, an internationally recognized symbol
for healthcare quality. This distinction signifies that
River Oaks has achieved
accreditation by demonstrating its compliance with performance
standards and commitment to provide safe and effective care.
River Oaks utilizes
research-based treatment modalities proven to benefit patients
struggling with drugs and/or alcohol addiction and co-occurring
mental health disorders. With medical providers and clinicians
on-site 24 hours each day, River
Oaks is able to provide levels of care ranging from medical
detox to those requiring partial hospitalization.
To achieve accreditation, River
Oaks had to undergo an extensive review process, including a
rigorous on-site survey. During the review, compliance with
behavioral healthcare standards related to several areas, including
care, treatment and services; environment of care; leadership; and
screening procedures for the early detection of imminent harm.
"The Joint Commission accreditation provides behavioral health
care organizations with the processes needed to improve in a
variety of areas related to the care of individuals and their
families," said Julia Finken, RN,
