Our Mission
The mission of the J-CAP organization is to help people learn to help themselves. J-CAP’s Therapeutic Community (TC)* is designed to reach and direct people toward recovery through dynamic personal growth and social interaction. All participants in our TC are welcomed into a supportive residential environment with respect and shown responsible concern regardless of their gender, race, political ideas, religious beliefs, or medical, physical or mental disabilities. We are mindful of the past yet focused on the future.
In all our programs, we aim to reclaim disordered lives by improving our attitudes, outlooks and behaviors. J-CAP encourages responsibility at the individual, family and community levels. We strive to safeguard public health and safety and to promote a drug and violence-free society as a caring community. We value our human and civil rights to education, health, dignity, privacy, confidentiality, and a desire to achieve real freedom from exploitation and harm. At the heart of the TC mission is action to maximize opportunities for mental, physical, spiritual, emotional and cultural development.
*A Therapeutic Community (TC) is a group based approach to drug addiction and/or mental illness where residents actively participate in their own and each others treatment in a highly structured setting. Responsibility for the daily operation of the community, such as housekeeping and meal preparation, is shared by the residents. Community members earn status and privileges as part of the recovery process.
