Psychiatrists create and manage medication plans throughout each client's stay. The program incorporates music therapy for healing through artistic expression and emphasizes family involvement, particularly when addressing genetically-linked conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Clients participate in life skills training, cooking, and light chores to build practical capabilities. For those with substance use concerns, the center offers access to both 12-Step programs and SMART recovery. Jackson House customizes treatment based on each client's specific condition and provides psychoeducation about their unique mental health challenges. The center also offers specialized care for veterans and accepts TriWest insurance. To support long-term recovery, clients receive 60 days of outpatient follow-up with staff after discharge, easing their transition back to everyday life.
