CuraWest has earned the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission is a third-party accreditation company that certifies more than 20,000 health care organizations and programs across the U.S. The Commission evaluates addiction treatment centers based on their quality of services, patient care, safety, environment, ethics, medication practices, staff credentials, leadership and evidence-based treatment outcomes. To receive the Gold Seal of Approval is one of the highest honors a medical detoxification center can earn. It ensures that every client who seeks treatment at a Gold Seal facility like CuraWest is guaranteed the highest quality of care available.

At CuraWest we understand how daunting picking a detox center for yourself or your loved one can be. There seem to be endless options, yet choosing the right facility is critical to overcoming addiction and getting started on the path to lifelong recovery. We hope that the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval will help assure you that when you seek treatment at CuraWest you will consistently receive the most effective and individualized care available.

The Process of Receiving the Joint Commission Seal of Approval

As part of the Guardian Recovery Network, CuraWest has always held itself to the highest clinical standards. Receiving the Seal of Approval confirms our practices are among the best and most effective in the country. Mike Rocks, Director of Licensing and Compliance with Guardian Recovery Network, explains the process of receiving the Joint Commission Seal of Approval.

“CuraWest is our newest facility and, as such, is the product of all of our best design aspects, comforts and amenities, procedural practices, and infrastructure plans,” says Rocks. “It is also custom-built to Joint Commission standards both in physical plant design, management and clinical practice. The Joint Commission Gold Seal is representative of our facility’s endeavor to minimize risk, increase client safety, and provide the highest quality services to our clientele. A Joint Commission survey is the final step in plant and program design that encompasses: treatment and services, medication management, human resources, life safety, environment of care, leadership, client rights, records management, infection control, emergency management, and performance improvement. There are over 1500 EPs, or Elements of Performance, by which the Joint Commission survey measures applicants. Through the hard work of our direct care staff and the guidance of our leadership, CuraWest proved to be compliant in 100 percent of these measures, thus earning them the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval.”

Rocks states the current CuraWest medical standards are designed to exceed all state and Joint Commission requirements. “The facility provides 24-hour nursing care, daily client one-on-ones with medical providers licensed in addictions, internal medicine and psychiatry,” he says. “Our Medical Director, Dr. Steven Mays, is a Colorado board certified Psychiatrist. Our detox medication protocols are designed for maximum efficacy and comfort and are customized to each individual client’s needs. Throughout the client’s stay, protocols are reviewed daily and adjusted as necessary to increase their effectiveness.”
