Family Care Center Earns Three-Year CARF Accreditation for Tennessee IOP

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Family Care Center, a national leader in behavioral health, has earned a three-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its adult mental health intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Tennessee. This marks the third state where Family Care Center has achieved this honor, following its success in Colorado and Texas.

Serving as a vital resource for individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions, IOP helps to reduce hospitalizations for those needing a higher level of mental health care. It also acts as a crucial bridge for those transitioning from acute inpatient care to outpatient support, ensuring seamless continuity of care.

By earning CARF accreditation, Family Care Center demonstrated its dedication to quality through a rigorous review of over 300 standards, including evidence-based practices, outcome improvement, and person-centered, culturally sensitive care.

"Our CARF accreditation highlights our commitment to delivering compassionate care that empowers individuals to achieve meaningful and lasting results," said David Wood, Family Care Center's Regional Director of Tennessee. "We're proud to offer specialized tracks that focus on stabilizing and reducing mental health symptoms, resolving trauma, and building resilience skills to navigate life and promote lasting wellness."

The adult mental health IOP is part of Family Care Center's integrated care model, combining therapy, psychiatry, medication management and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This comprehensive approach ensures each patient receives personalized, holistic support tailored to their unique needs, fostering better outcomes and a smoother path to recovery.

Patients in Family Care Center's mental health IOP experience positive results for a variety of severe mental health conditions.

• 94% of IOP patients reported reduced depression
• 82% of IOP patients reported relief from anxiety
• 87% of IOP patients had fewer PTSD symptoms
