LAKE TOXAWAY, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, April 26, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Trails Carolina, a therapeutic wilderness program for struggling adolescents and teens, has announced that it has been granted a three-year CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation renewal.

Trails Carolina's wilderness therapy programs are designed to help youth between the ages of 10 and 17 struggling with mental health, emotional, and behavioral challenges, such as depression, anxiety, defiant behavior, family conflict, and trauma. The program's unique approach to experiential therapy combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with outdoor adventure in a wilderness setting, providing participants with a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and healing.

To achieve CARF accreditation, Trails Carolina underwent a rigorous evaluation process that included an on-site survey by CARF surveyors. The surveyors assessed Trails Carolina's program facilities and services, management practices, and overall commitment to quality care and continuous improvement. The CARF surveyors praised Trails Carolina's highly trained staff, comprehensive assessment process, and commitment to the safety and well-being of program participants.

"We’re thrilled to have achieved CARF accreditation for another three years," said Trails Carolina's Executive Director, Jeremy Whitworth. "This accreditation is a testament to our commitment to providing the highest quality wilderness therapy program to our participants and their families."

The Trails Carolina team, including masters-level therapists, trained wilderness instructors, and dedicated support staff, work tirelessly to ensure the program meets the highest standards for quality care.
