mitted and collaborative group who supports each other and a sup-
portive Board of Directors. I would like to thank the entire Janus staff
for all their hard work and commitment to a successful CARF evalua-
tion. Everyone in the organization participated in this significant,
complex and taxing process, and you all should be extremely proud

12 Consecutive Years of CARF Accreditation—An Exceptional Achievement!
Janus of Santa Cruz is pleased to announce that we have received another 3-year certification from the Commis-
sion on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF is the gold standard accreditor of drug and alcohol
treatment facilities, both nationally and internationally. In 2007, Janus set the bar for the industry in the Santa Cruz
area, becoming the county’s first CARF-accredited treatment program. Our current CARF accreditation will extend
that standard through 2021.
Achieving CARF standards for accreditation is an indication of the dedication and commitment of our team to im-
proving the quality of the lives of the clients we serve every day. Our services, personnel and documentation
clearly indicate an established pattern of adherence to the highest standards of care. Most recently we pushed
beyond the current expectations and added many new programs to our accreditation certification, including:
Assessment & Referral (Adults)
Case Management/Services Coordination: Integrated: AOD/MH (Adults)
Day Treatment: Alcohol & Other Drugs/Addictions (Adults)
