Mental health program receives accreditation

Posted on July 30, 2009 by Staff

The OPC Area Program recently announced that it has been accredited as a “Services Management Network” by the Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an international, not-for-profit organization that accredits human services providers. CARF sent a review team to Carrboro service provider El Futuro (which was cited by CARF for “effectively [addressing] the needs of the Latino community”) and other providers on June 11 and 12 to examine documents and interview staff, board members, consumers and providers.

OPC is the local government agency responsible for oversight and management of publicly funded mental health, developmental disability and substance abuse services in Orange, Person and Chatham counties. In a follow-up letter, CARF wrote that OPC’s “services, personnel, and documentation indicate a pattern of excellence.”

For more information about the accreditation or OPC’s services, call OPC at 913-4120.
