Jackson Recover Center

Adult and Family Services

Jackson is Northwest Iowa's leader in drug and alcohol addiction treatment. We offer state of the art programs that are rooted in the 12-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Our culturally-competent, highly-trained staff strive to bring love and hope to all who are affected by addiction.

Our outpatient program specializes in providing drug and alcohol addiction treatment for adult men and women and their families. Outpatient treatment is provided at our Jackson Recovery Centers. Jackson also offers outpatient treatment in the surrounding seven counties. Outpatient treatment is offered during the day and in the evenings so that patients can go to school or to work. Our patients can participate in treatment for up to 9 hours a week depending on what kind of care they need.

We believe that addictions are diseases that affect the entire family, so we encourage family members to be involved in the entire treatment process. Outpatient treatment services include family groups to provide education and support for concerned persons. By being involved, we can help rebuild healthy family relationships so that the entire family can recover together. Assistance to concerned persons and family members is available even if the person is unwilling to be involved in treatment.

Adults in our outpatient program are given the tools they need to live a life of recovery. We help people learn about the disease of addiction and how it has affected themselves and those who love them.

Q: How do I know if I or someone I care about needs treatment?
A: If you are concerned, you can call the Connecting Point 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They will gather information, answer your questions, and provide you with assistance. The Connecting Point can help you in a time of crisis, inform you about our programs, offer support and schedule a formal assessment.

Q: How do I know which program is right?
A: Prior to any treatment service, a clinical assessment will be completed and from that recommendations will be made. We have a team of clinical experts that will work with you and your family.

Q: How long does each program last?
A: The length of treatment depends on the type of care that is needed and your level of motivation. This will be based on the needs of you and your family, and how you are able to progress in services. The therapist will work with you to help determine this from the very start of therapy services.

Q: How much will it cost?
A: We have many funding options available for families. We accept and will contact insurance companies and seek precertification for our services. We accept Iowa Medicaid (Title-19). We also offer services on a sliding-fee scale, which is based on family income and may result in a significant reduction in fees. The most important thing for you to know is that we see it as our job to find the most cost effective way for you to enter our program and will find a way to make it work for you.

Q: Is it safe? Confidential?
A: We realize the importance of confidentiality in helping you feel safe and comfortable while in our facility. Our services are held on the second floor of the building, which is dedicated to adult programming. All information shared with our clinical staff is completely confidential.

Q: How can my family be involved?
A: We know that people entering treatment services have much higher success rates if a family member or someone close to them is involved. We encourage and embrace family involvement from the very start.
