About J – Cap – Jamaica
Jamaica Community Adolescents Program is a drug treatment program for children, adolescents, and adults in Queens, New York. They provide outpatient treatment, residential treatment, and aftercare support. Dedicated services are available for Spanish-speaking clients, those in the criminal justice system, and clients with co-occurring conditions. You must be drug-free and committed to living a healthy lifestyle before entering the program. More than 400 clients can participate in the program at a given time.
Their outpatient treatment includes primary care and behavioral health care. Services are provided at the nearby Thomas and Marie White Health Center and may include wellness visits, immunizations, chronic condition management, and HIV/Hepatitis C testing. If you have co-occurring conditions, you can receive trauma-informed counseling services, as well as referrals to outside providers that can offer additional recovery support.
Residential treatment services are available for adults and young adults ages 17 and older. They accept parolees and probationers, offering an alternative to incarceration. Services include stabilization, rehabilitation, and reintegration. Methods of treatment include individual and group counseling, recovery coaching, medication assisted treatment, case management, weekly toxicologies, vocational counseling, recreational services, and housing assistance. The program follows a Therapeutic Community model that encourages residents to actively participate in their own and other residents’ treatment. The setting is highly structured, with daily responsibilities for household chores shared by all the residents. Treatment is structured into three phases. You start with orientation, then move into the main treatment, and conclude with re-entry. During these phases, the staff supervises structured activities that teach skills to improve your life and prepares you for the next phase of recovery.
They accept most forms of commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare. Ask your individual provider to check your coverage as out of network benefits can vary.
