Overview
LegitScript is a service that offers certification of alcohol and drug rehabs and other types of medical organizations to provide proof of legitimacy and baseline quality. When you or your loved one are making the decision to seek treatment, you deserve the peace of mind of knowing you’re choosing a facility that is established, legitimate, and staffed with credentialed experts; LegitScript helps to offer that assurance. While the absence of LegitScript certification does not, in and of itself, diminish a facility’s quality or represent that it’s not a reputable organization, LegitScript provides an added layer of peace of mind and assurance.
How Do Rehabs Get LegitScript Certification?
In order to receive LegitScript certification, rehab centers must:
- Comply with state legal and regulatory licensing requirements for addiction treatment facilities.
- Provide written policies and procedures demonstrating a commitment to best practices, effective recovery, and continuous improvement, and must list the treatment or intervention services offered or recommended by the program.
- Provide to LegitScript adequate documentation establishing that the applicant’s staff have expertise and training in addiction treatment, including a medical director and/or a clinical psychologist with addiction training. In some cases, an on-site medical practitioner will be required.
- Disclose any prior criminal, regulatory, or civil violations and any litigation commenced, resolved, or otherwise addressed that involves the applicant at any time over the past ten years. Prior offenses or other bad acts, including any prior regulatory discipline, may be a disqualifying factor.
- Comply with all provisions of applicable laws and regulations, and HIPAA or similar privacy provisions.
