CARF International and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) announced in June 2020 the ASAM Level of Care Certification nationwide. This certification addresses the addiction crisis by establishing processes for validation of treatment program capabilities, building industry transparency, and increasing patient confidence in treatment services. 
Increasing patient access to evidence-based addiction treatment is critical to overcoming the challenges of addiction. This certification gives patients, their loved ones, payors, and regulators the knowledge that a given treatment program is capable of administering evidence-based addiction treatment that is appropriately matched to a patient’s individual needs.
