JACOA

I had a very good experience at JACOA. I really liked the fact that there were only a handful of other women there at all times. It felt like there was a lot less drama to have to worry about in comparison to other rehab centers. All the staff are wonderful people who appear to care about your success in recovery.

Well after being referred her by her PO and being told to call so they could get necessary information for admissions, we have spent 3 days trying to get ahold of the admissions office. I've gotten ahold of the admissions person 1 single time and she told me to call back at 1 p.m. the rest of the time I'm transferred from the main office number to the admissions office and it just goes to voicemail of which I have left several with no call back. It's gotten so bad that talking with my mother's PO and them attempting to reach out, that they are now looking for somewhere else to go. What's the point of being a place that's meant to try to help people in some of the worst times of their life if they're not even going to answer the phone or call you back???

I only gave a star because I have too before I could post, let me just starting off saying that the place is horrible, to the food employees bedding and so much more the place is not fit for anyone to Stay overnight!! The place has bedbugs so bad the top is infested and soon they will travel to the bottom they have favorites as well but that's ok the place needs to be condemned why haven't the state shut the place down???

The food is horrible. Probably just a little better than jail food. Isn't eating healthy part of recovering and helping your body? The monitors are on a power trip. They seem to play favorites to people that have been there multiple times. They said this isn't a faith based, but every Wednesday a "life coach" comes in and beats you over the head with the Bible. It took everything in my to not walk out. He's the most arrogant person I've probably had the displeasure of meeting. He will say backhanded comments to make you feel less than. This is co-ed and if you even get caught looking too long, or talking to the opposite sex, you're out of there. Why keep women and men enter mingled if you can't even have a platonic conversation? The facility is run down. You're supposed to talk to the director before you discharge and tell him what you think about the program, that doesn't happen. I would give this place 0/10

My name is Matt I completed the 28 day residential program on December 11th. Of this year (2024) and I must say it has been an amazing impact in my life and my early recovery, the staff there are amazing brandi, Amy,April thad, Donnie Brittany, Angelica ,beth ,terran, ( if im spelling it correctly lol) beth Gary and my counselor Patrick were all amazing, understanding, and above all they actually cared about each and every client. They are all very good people and are in recovery as well , they made my time there very easy and I cannot express my appreciation for all of them .. so long story short ,yes they have rules and structure but it's for your own benefit. I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have been send to jacoa in Jackson it truly saved my life .so thank you all! They always said that we do more for them than we can ever understand,but I think they are doing more for us as clients that we will never be able to repay them for . Thank you jacoa for all the love , advice , and for caring about each client that comes through the doors. I hope to see you all again soon maybe I could come and tell my story there in a year or so . I want to give back what was so freely given to me and help someone see just how much better life can be sober . Thank you again jacoa

I came in to JACOA in May of 2023. I had been thru SOME SHIT. To say the least. And I needed some help and guidance on how not only to better myself, but HEAL myself. And I tell you what. JACOA did that. Am I a completely healed human? Nope. Do I credit them for everything I've accomplished this far? Yes. Because THEY gave me the tools I needed. Every one of them. From the head honcho, down to the monitors every night taking us for chill breaks. I love them, to the core. Beth was an amazing counselor, and the rest of the counselors were awesome too. Kudos to a really great staff. To elaborate? They taught me how to handle my anxiety and my stress. Without booze. Without weed. Just myself. Learning to live sober, was probably one of the best adventures I've lived so far. Because that, was wild. I read ten books in 28 days. I hadn't picked up a book since my mother died, nearly 9 years prior. And I was an avid reader. I begged for the library keys, and eventually, I didn't have to beg. I was given them, because I proved I was responsible and could handle a door. It takes one door at a time, sometimes. And hey, the food wasn't too bad either!

JACOA was so amazing I went there twice!! I had been a chronic relapse for 20 years and the last treatment center I ever had Tn go to was JACOA!! That says a lot about who they are as a substance abuse program. The staff met me where I was in my journey with compassion and kindness ,because most of them had their own personal story of recovery. They got me! They really understood me!! They went above and beyond quarterbacking my care all the way to safe housing when I graduated the program. If you or a loved one are suffering with alcohol or substance abuse issues call JACOA! They will take care of you! PS.They have Fish Fry Fridays!! Just saying 😉!! Good food matters!! They have great food and unlimited coffee!!

This place changed my life and I'm very blessed to have been able to attend their program! The people at Jacob really care about you and you can feel that!!!❤️❤️❤️
