About Golden Grove · Accreditations

Accreditations & licensing.

Quality in addiction treatment is measurable — through state licensing, third-party accreditation, and outcomes reporting. Golden Grove Recovery is preparing to open with the accreditations Kentucky Medicaid and commercial insurers require, plus voluntary accreditations that reflect industry-leading standards.

Our standard

Built to measurable standards.

Golden Grove Recovery is being built to the licensing and accreditation standards required by Kentucky Medicaid, commercial insurers, and the industry's leading voluntary accrediting bodies. Each is listed below.

Commitments

The accreditations that govern us.

Each reflects a discrete quality standard — clinical, operational, marketing, and network participation.

State licensing

Kentucky DBHDID

State SUD treatment facility license issued by the Kentucky Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities.

Third-party

The Joint Commission

Behavioral Health Care accreditation — a leading independent quality standard for SUD and mental health treatment facilities.

Third-party

CARF International

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities accreditation for SUD programs.

Marketing

LegitScript Certified Treatment

Third-party verification for ethical advertising and operations in addiction treatment.

Network

Kentucky Recovery Network

Participation in Kentucky's recovery support infrastructure and statewide referral network.

Why this matters

Accreditation is a quality signal.

Accreditation isn't paperwork — it's third-party validation that a treatment facility meets industry standards for clinical quality, patient safety, ethical marketing, and outcomes reporting.

Kentucky Medicaid plans and commercial carriers require state licensing and typically also require third-party accreditation. Patients should expect any facility they consider to be accredited and licensed.
