ATC locations in the United States and several locations in Canada go through a series of evaluations & reviews, online and on-site, every three years to ensure each program meets our high expectations regarding the standards of care provided to each client. The 6 Core Accreditation Standards of ATC are: Identity, Governance, Measurements & Outcomes, Resource Management, Residential Operations, and Specialized Services. Once the ATC center has been evaluated and found to be in compliance with the board-approved Adult & Teen Challenge Standards, clients and families can rest assured that the best care is being provided by the facility. Accreditation allows for a greater sense of confidence that you, or your loved one has made the right choice by choosing Adult & Teen Challenge on their journey to sobriety and freedom.
