Licenses and National Accreditation
Lobby at Lakeview Health Systems
Licensing and accreditation provide an objective, third-party assurance that a program is achieving excellence in patient care and facility operation. A state license requires that specific guidelines and standards be met in order to operate an addiction treatment facility within that specific state. Accreditation refers to a third party national evaluation of the licensed rehabilitation facility, including patient care, staffing requirements, facility operations, and organizational approach to providing treatment.
State License
Lakeview Health Systems is licensed by the state of Florida’s Department of Children and Family Services. Receiving a license to operate a health facility in the state of Florida requires a periodic and thorough on-site review of the facilities, the training and composition of the staff, and an investigation into the treatment provided.
National Accreditation
The Joint Commission is the nation’s leader in developing standards and best practices for health care facilities. The Gold Seal from the Joint Commission is granted to organizations that provide patient services beyond the criteria set by the Commission. Onsite evaluations and follow-up monitoring keep the Gold Seal current.
Lakeview Health Systems has received the Gold Seal from the Joint Commission.
Below are a few of the many requirements by both the State of Florida and the Joint Commission.
- Provide patients with high-quality treatment, care, and services
- Re-evaluate patient care on a regular basis
- Offer patients a safe, secure, confidential, and well-maintained environment in which to recover
- Attended by experienced, qualified staff
- Manage and administer patient medications on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis
- Maintain patient records with the strictest accuracy and with complete confidentiality following HIPPA laws
- Ensure patient rights are honored and respected
We go beyond these standards in every category (including some not mentioned), always maintaining patient dignity while providing the best care in a state-of the art accredited alcohol and drug detox and rehabilitation facility.
