CARF Gold SealCODAC has earned the full Three-Year CARF Accreditation once again!

Through a very objective and structured process, this achievement shows that CODAC is dedicated to pursuing excellence and improving the quality of the lives of the people we serve. CODAC has been CARF accredited for at least 20 years.

This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a tough peer review process and has shown a team of surveyors that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable and accountable.

Here are just a few of the GREAT things that the CARF Surveyors noted about CODAC! 

  • If there is one word that best characterizes this organization, it might be "accessible." Persons served are treated with the utmost in customer service. The members expressed how, regardless of the time of day or day of week, "someone is always there to help you and talk to you."
  • The members could not say enough good things about the program. All report the best thing about the program is the individual care they receive from the staff members.
  • The members of CODAC stated that they were very pleased with the services they receive. They stated that the staff treat them with dignity and respect and they are able to receive services whenever needed even if their recovery coach is unavailable.
  • The staff seem very proud of the work they do. A definite strength is they hire staff that have been or are in recovery. One member said "If a great program like CODAC can hire someone like me, anything is possible."
  • CODAC enjoys a good reputation in the community and maintains positive working relationships with community agencies and partners. Funding and community partners look to CODAC as an industry leader and innovator. Partners spoke highly of the CODAC staff and leadership stating that they are "responsive, easy to work with and clear communicators and "they go above and beyond for their members and provide needed services in the community that fills service gaps."
  • Case management service staff include an amazing array of levels, including intensive [dedicated] recovery coaches...recovery coaches...and peer support specialists. This range of staff ensures a depth of service coordination seldom seen in such a large organization.
  • CODAC lives up to its name: recovery and wellness. Members can flow through different levels of care service. They can get addiction treatment, mental health services, outpatient and physical health needs all met by the same program. It leads to great coordinated care.
  • CODAC has a dynamic interdisciplinary team of clinical professionals that are enthusiastic about the services they provide. The interdisciplinary team members work cohesively to provide coordinated, integrated care service. They have been leaders in the field for this integrated model of management. The management of Hepatitis C, wound care, vaccinations and basic health management has been transformative to members.

A CARF Three-Year Accreditation was awarded to CODAC for the following programs (all the programs applied for):

Case Management/Services Coordination: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Adults) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Children and Adolescents) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Criminal Justice) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Mental Health (Adults) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Mental Health (Children and Adolescents) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Mental Health (Criminal Justice) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Adults) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Children and Adolescents) • Case Management/Services Coordination: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Criminal Justice) • Crisis Stabilization: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Adults) • Crisis Stabilization; Mental Health (Adults) • Crisis Stabilization: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Adults) • Health Home: Comprehensive Care (Adults) • Outpatient Treatment: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Adults) • Outpatient Treatment: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Children and Adolescents) • Outpatient Treatment: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Criminal Justice) • Outpatient Treatment: Mental Health (Adults) • Outpatient Treatment: Mental Health (Children and Adolescents) • Outpatient Treatment: Mental Health (Criminal Justice) • Outpatient Treatment: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Adults) • Outpatient Treatment: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Children and Adolescents) • Outpatient Treatment: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Criminal Justice) • Residential Treatment: Integrated: SUD/Mental Health (Adults) • Residential Treatment: Mental Health (Adults) • Residential Treatment: Substance Use Disorders/Addictions (Adults) • Detoxification: Opioid Treatment Program (Adults) • Health Home: Opioid Treatment Program • Outpatient Treatment: Opioid Treatment Program (Adults).

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a series of individual therapy and recovery skills/support groups that meet for nine hours every week (three hours, three times a week). The IOPs at our CODAC at 380 location are for people with substance use disorders (working on recovery from any drugs or alcohol). Any CODAC member with a substance use disorder can participate.

Using Stephanie Covington’s “Helping Women Recover” curriculum, individual therapy and recovery skills/support groups address:

  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Relapse Prevention
  • Substance Use Education
  • Co-Occurring Disorders
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Motivational Interviewing
  • Family Support & Education

These IOPs meet the requirements from courts, probation and DCS, too.

Members need to choose to participate in either the morning or afternoon session for the whole time they are in the IOP. You can join at any time and will be finished when you meet you goals (typically after at least 16 weeks). This intensive program will really give you a strong foundation in your recovery and for your future!

Stop the Sickness

This year - maybe more than any other year in recent history - it is VERY important for everyone age 6 months or older to get their Flu Shot.

With COVID-19 still spreading, it is important that you protect yourself and others from getting another highly-contagious illness, the Flu. Every year, 200,000 Americans are hospitalized because of the Flu. When you get the flu shot you not only keep yourself and others healthy, but you can also help save health care resources for people who have COVID-19.

Common Questions (& Answers!) About the Flu Shot

Q: Can I get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?
A: Yes! It is safe to get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time. So, if you haven't had your COVID vaccine yet, you can do both at once!! It is also safe to have the flu shot if you have already had your COVID vaccine (in the past).

Q: Should I get the flu shot if I have symptoms of COVID?
A: No. Please do not come to CODAC or get your Flu Shot if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or the Flu. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, headache, body aches, new loss of taste or smell and more that you can view here.

Q: Is it safe for me to come to CODAC to get the Flu Shot?
A: Yes. All staff and members/guests are required to wear masks and maintain 6' distance while inside the building. CODAC also sanitizes surfaces throughout the day and has wipes and sanitizer available throughout the building.

Q: Does my insurance cover the cost of getting the Flu Shot?
A: Most insurances cover the cost of getting the Flu Shot. If you want to check to be sure before coming in, you can call you insurance or call our Genoa Pharmacy at 520-257-1539.

Q: Can people who aren't CODAC members get the Flu Shot at CODAC?
A: The Genoa Pharmacy may be able to provide Flu Shots to non-CODAC members (like your family and friends). But, it depends on their insurance. Call our Genoa Pharmacy directly to find out: 520-257-1539. $5 Fry's Cards are only available to CODAC members.
