Cardinal Recovery is committed to ensuring the safety of all of our patients, their families, and staff during this unprecedented time. As updates on the impact of COVID-19 are released we will continue to adhere to the guidelines as provided by the CDC as well as our local and state government.

Please note that for the safety of our patients, their families, and our staff, on-site visitation is not allowed at Cardinal Recovery for the time being. For further information, please contact a member of our clinical department.

Keeping our patients, staff, and facilities safe and clean is our top priority. Cardinal Recovery has implemented the following safety protocols:

• Cleaning service contracts have been renewed and enhanced to ensure a sanitary environment
• All staff has been trained on infection prevention and safety protocol training

• We are in communication with local and state healthcare providers to ensure that we receive important community-specific updates

We are committed to ensuring the safety of our patients, their families, and our staff and will remain steadfast in our efforts. Adhering to stringent safety standards is our top focus, matched only by our dedication to guiding the long-term recovery of our patient population.
