A Family Guide to Evaluating Nearby Treatment Programs
- Family Program Structure — Ask how family is involved: scheduled conjoint sessions, family education groups, family weekends, and a defined communication protocol (with patient consent) indicate a family-integrated model
- Confirm BHSIA Licensure and Accreditation — Verify BHSIA licensure at dshs.wa.gov/bhsia and ask about TJC or CARF status; these confirm the facility meets both state regulatory and national quality standards
- Evaluate the Discharge Planning Process — Ask what the 30-day post-discharge plan looks like; quality programs have concrete IOP referrals, sober housing connections, and peer support linkages arranged before the patient leaves
- MAT-Competent Medical Team — If opioid or alcohol use disorder is involved, confirm the prescribing physician holds a buprenorphine DATA waiver and has experience with Vivitrol or methadone protocols
- Patient Rights and Grievance Process — A quality facility provides a written patient rights document and a clear grievance procedure at admission; this is a BHSIA requirement and a sign of transparent operations
