Queens Village Committee For Mental Health For J Cap

Not for profit organization. Residential Addictions Treatment J-CAP offers an intensive drug treatment program in a residential setting for chemically dependent adults and young adults ages 17 and older. Our program can accommodate over 190 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. J-CAP’s treatment program is based on the Therapeutic Community model. A Therapeutic Community (TC) is a group based approach to drug addiction and/or mental illness where residents actively participate in their own and each others treatment in a highly structured setting. Responsibility for the daily operation of the community, such as housekeeping and meal preparation, is shared by the residents. Treatment at J-CAP is divided into three separate 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.
