Licensing & Accreditation

In November, 2020, CT Renaissance had its seventh survey by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).  While we await the formal results of the survey, the Exit Conference was very positive noting accolades for our staff, our policies and services. 

The CARF surveyors commented that “it is clear that the leaderships is committed to the quality of the organization as evidenced by the ongoing communication and reviews of performance.  There is solid accountability by the organized committees that continuously monitor for compliance and identify areas for improvement.”  The surveyors informed us that “it is clear the CT Renaissance is committed to your work and, in spite of the challenges of working in a pandemic, the organization has remained dedicated to the person served, to your mission and vision.”

CT Renaissance awaits the formal report from CARF regarding our accreditation in January, 2012 for our Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinics, the LYNC programs and the McAuliffe Center.

In August of 2017, Connecticut Renaissance, Inc. received its sixth three-year accreditation by CARF for our Adolescent and Adult Behavioral Health Programs in Bridgeport, Norwalk and Stamford.

Receiving the highest accreditation possible means that we significantly comply with all CARF standards. Not only did the evaluators examine direct client care, but organizational policies, outcome measurements, finances, human resources, operating structure, safety and numerous other areas throughout the organization. The survey team also consulted with clients and their families, state officials, staff and board members. All of the programs accredited had been found to substantially meet nationally recognized standards.

This accreditation outcome, which represents the highest level of accreditation, is awarded to organizations that show substantial fulfillment of the standards established by CARF. This latest action marks the fourth three-year accreditation awarded Connecticut Renaissance, Inc. by CARF, an international accreditation body.

This achievement has been attainable through continuously striving to provide the highest quality services in the most cost-effective manner. It is CARF’s recommendation to announce this accreditation to individuals and agencies that we collaborate with in order to “enhance their respect for and trust in your organization and its capabilities.”

Each of Connecticut Renaissance’s Outpatient Clinics in Bridgeport, Norwalk and Stamford are licensed by the State of Connecticut’s Department of Public Health (DPH) as “a psychiatric outpatient clinic and a facility for the care or treatment of substance abusive or dependent persons.” CT Renaissance’s Residential Substance use Treatment Programs in Waterbury are licensed by DPH as intermediate substance use facilities. In addition, the Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport Outpatient Clinics are licensed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) as Outpatient Psychiatric Clinics for Children.
