Treatment Phases
J-CAP offers an intensive addictions treatment program in a residential setting for chemically dependent adults and young adults ages 17 and older. Our program operates from two buildings that can accommodate over 400 clients. J-CAP requires clients to be drug-free (no use of illegal drugs or alcohol) and to commit to living a healthy lifestyle as part of their recovery.
Treatment at J-CAP is divided into three phases: Orientation, Main Treatment, and Re-Entry. Structured activities are supervised by J-CAP staff who teach clients the skills to promote positive change in their lives, and ultimately permits movement from one phase to the next.

Orientation
The Orientation phase of the program is actually a learning and adjustment period in which clients adapt to the program’s routine, services, and expectations. During this time clients are introduced to and become familiar with J-CAP’s rules and regulations. This portion of the program has duration of approximately 30 to 45 days depending upon the individual needs of the client. Family members of clients are encouraged to join J-CAP’s Family Association during the orientation period in order to get support for themselves as well as learn how to help with their loved one’s recovery.
Main Treatment
The second phase, Main Treatment, is the more rigorous part of the therapy process. Short and long term goals for recovery are established early on as part of each client’s individualized treatment plan. These goals may be adjusted as treatment progresses. During this period (which lasts approximately 6 to 8 months) clients confirm their commitment to positive change by attending individual counseling sessions as well as group therapy. Based on the client’s individual needs, he/she may attend special groups and seminars geared to anger management or women’s issues. Learning new, constructive ways to resolve problems and differences with others are key to the treatment process.
Clients also participate in social and cultural activities during this time in order to promote constructive social settings as an alternative to substance abuse.

Re-Entry
Re-entry, the final phase of treatment, is an approximately 3 to 4 month process in which clients actively work towards the long term goals established in their individualized treatment plans. Clients make arrangements to attend college, complete vocational training, or look for sustainable employment. Re-uniting with family members, generating positive social connections, and preparing for independent living are the major focal points during this period. J-CAP advises clients to seek community based support services upon leaving residential treatment in order to ensure a smooth transition to living independently as well as to prevent a relapse situation.
