ASAM Certification: One of the First Programs in the Nation
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) sets the clinical gold standard for addiction treatment through its nationally recognized Levels of Care, which range from early intervention (Level 1) to medically managed intensive inpatient services (Level 4). These criteria ensure patients receive the appropriate level of care based on the severity and complexity of their condition.
Hanley Center holds ASAM certification for Medically Monitored Intensive Inpatient Services (Level 3.7)—a designation that reflects the ability to treat individuals with complex medical, emotional, and behavioral needs in a highly structured, 24/7 clinical environment.
Hanley Center was among the first organizations in the United States to receive this certification, following a comprehensive, independent evaluation conducted by CARF International.
This distinction demonstrates that Hanley Center delivers evidence-based care aligned with the highest national standards.
