Licensing and Accreditation

Since 1987, Turning Point of Tampa has been providing our clients with an exceptional level of care, that is second to none. As part of Turning Point of Tampa’s commitment to quality and safety, we adhere to the licensure standards by DCF for substance use services. Turning Point of Tampa meets all the requirements for Joint Commission accreditation by updating policies and procedures as needed and following any required additional updates from The Joint Commission.

The Joint Commission

With the goal of this organization focusing on the continuous improvement of health care facilities, an accreditation from The Joint Commission is the “gold standard” for all healthcare facilities. For over 26 years, Turning Point of Tampa has held this accreditation, meaning that our facility has been held to an exceptional level of care.  Receiving this accreditation is a testament to the high level of quality care our clients receive.

ASAM Certification

The ASAM Level of Care Certification addresses the addiction health crisis by establishing processes for validation of treatment program capabilities, building industry transparency, and increasing patient confidence in treatment services. The certification provides an independent assessment of a treatment program’s ability to deliver services consistent with The ASAM Criteria®.

Increasing patient access to evidence-based addiction treatment is critical to overcoming the devastating and deadly challenges of addiction. This certification earned by Turning Point of Tampa gives patients, loved ones, payors, and regulators the knowledge that a given treatment program is capable of administering evidence-based addiction treatment that is appropriately matched to a patient’s individual needs. Turning Point of Tampa has earned the Level 3.5 certification and is only the 2nd addiction treatment provider to earn an ASAM certification in the state of Florida.

Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF)

The Florida Department of Children and Families is responsible for overseeing substance use and mental health, with the goal of ensuring that health care facilities have met agency standards relating to access to care, respect and dignity, privacy and confidentiality practices, and safety of individuals and their families.
