About Jackson Feild Homes – Jarratt
Less than 60 miles south of Richmond, lies Jackson Feild Homes in Jarratt, Virginia. Established as a foster home in 1855, they shifted their focus to addiction, trauma and mental health care in 1970. Their residential program offers a stable living environment for youth and young adults experiencing behavioral challenges, including substance use and co-occurring disorders.
They strive to help your child successfully reintegrate into your family, home and community. Their program welcomes young people referred by the legal system, local Department of Social Services, and family assessment and planning teams. They also accept direct parental referrals.
With residential care, your teen will have a structured environment with 24/7 supervision to reach their recovery goals. They offer a high quality integrated approach with proven therapeutic interventions and holistic practices. After an assessment and evaluation, you and your child will work with their multifaceted team to create a customized treatment plan. Your teen can participate in three to five weekly individual therapy and treatment sessions.
They offer several tailored treatment services to help your child address underlying contributors to addiction and develop essential recovery skills. Your child can benefit from self-regulation and coping skill building, 12 Step programming, spiritual practices, relapse prevention training and process groups.
Another incredible feature I noticed was their treatment methods. Your child can participate in trauma informed care, with specialized therapies like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. They also provide motivational interviewing and neurotherapy. Your child will benefit from advanced approaches to meet them where they are in recovery.
Lastly, I think their diverse team is fantastic. You and your child will work with licensed and credentialed physicians, counselors, social workers and other mental health professionals to address the various aspects of the challenges your child is facing.
