Addiction Treatment Programs at JACOA

Treatment often begins with a 28-day residential inpatient program featuring gender-specific beds for men and women, an admission-week physical, and assessment.

Because JACOA does not offer medical detoxification clients are placed in the level of care that best fits their needs including intensive outpatient programming held four days per week.

Clients can expect counseling, weekly family groups, and AA/NA meetings supported by the Living in Balance curriculum. JACOA also uses Motivational Interviewing and CBT, trauma therapy, and relapse prevention along with MAT through Vivitrol/naltrexone.
