Narconon Arrowhead Releases New Newsletter
Canadian, OK (PRWEB) March 24, 2014 -- The word newsletter is actually a shortened and combined form of two words, newspaper and informational letter. It is an effective way for an organization to communicate with its readers as well as others who are interested in the organization’s activities and accomplishments.

Just recently, Narconon Arrowhead of Canadian, Oklahoma released its new newsletter online, presented in an easy to read and sharply laid-out full-color graphic format. In addition to its highly professional presentation, the newsletter contains four articles of interest to those involved in drug rehabilitation treatment field nationwide, as well as to the residents of Oklahoma specifically.
Some of the contents of this newsletter included:
An Overview of Accreditation by CARF
This first article details the results of the recent accreditation by CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. CARF, an independent, non-profit organization, has been an accreditor of health and human services programs since 1966. There are about 50,000 programs and services and upwards of 22,000 different locations in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe which are accredited by CARF.
Details of the CARF accreditation report are included in the article, with special attention to the strengths of the facility and its staff.
