<p><strong>ABOUT HARBOR HOUSE CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY SERVICES</strong></p> <p>Located on the edge the woods in Jackson, Miss., Harbor House Chemical Dependency services provides <strong>gender-specific, residential treatment, and aftercare</strong> services to individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. The nonprofit organization, founded in 1973, is <strong>committed to making treatment affordable for all clients</strong>, about half of whom are aged 18 to 30. In addition to residential treatment, a family program, ropes course, and DUI assessments are available. Neither detox services nor treatment for dual diagnoses are offered at the facility.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment begins with a telephone screening, followed by an on-site medical evaluation. Harbor House approaches <strong>addiction as a disease</strong> which can be treated through a program based on 12-step recovery concepts and evidence-based therapies.</p> <p>Through progressive treatment phases, clients increasingly take on responsibilities. The <strong>primary program lasts 42 days</strong>, focusing on identifying the sources of addictive behavior. The secondary phase is 30 to 90 days, <strong>incorporating peer mentoring</strong>. An extended program available for men only is available for up to a year. Each phase incorporates activities to address a client’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.</p> <p>Residents conduct assigned chores, participate in individual and group counseling, attend educational sessions and 12-step meetings, and practice social skills in community. <strong>Days and evenings are highly structured</strong> around treatment, assignments, and recreation. After the initial stages of recovery, clients also <strong>obtain employment</strong> and learn independent living skills such as budgeting and cooking.</p> <p>Medication management and regular access to an on-site physician and nurses are available. Gender-specific aftercare services include a weekly group session, counseling, access to referrals, and drug testing.</p> <p>A family program coincides with the initial education program for residents, meeting for weekly sessions over six weeks.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, many treatment staff members hold advanced degrees and are certified to treat drug and alcohol addiction.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Harbor House facilities have a capacity for 107 total residents. The main campus, where clients reside during the primary treatment phase, is located just off of I-55 and is <strong>accessible by public transportation</strong>. A facility van is also available and clients may use their own vehicles during later stages to commute to off-site jobs. A list of very specific living rules and regulations is provided prior to the start of treatment.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Reviews by former clients tended to be very positive and in particular highlighted the program’s success. The sole respondent to a Rehabs.com survey <strong>rated treatment effectiveness five out of five stars</strong>. Twelve Facebook reviews gave an average rating of <strong>4.3 out of five stars</strong> and three <strong>alumni described the program as life-saving</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Similarly, a single Google reviewer granted Harbor House five stars and wrote that their time in rehab was successful.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p>Two features received relatively low ratings from the one alum polled: the facility’s policy regarding visitors and outside connections and the quality of holistic treatment options.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com generally recommended Harbor House. The facility’s <strong>cleanliness was repeatedly identified as a strength</strong> and a relative wrote: “It is a no frills place but nice.” Of 15 metrics measured, the <strong>lowest rated was options for exercise and leisure</strong>, with a 2.5-star average. Two relatives commented that more family input was needed. However, asked to rate on a scale of one to five the opportunity for families to participate in the treatment process, the four loved ones gave a high average response of <strong>4.5 out of five stars.</strong></p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>Three Indeed reviews by current or former employees indicated high satisfaction with the facility. One wrote: “The environment was encouraging.”<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, staff members will support client’s efforts to request <strong>out-of-network insurance coverage</strong>. Funding to cover many of the program’s costs comes from government and foundation sources and private donations. A sliding fee scale may be available.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/harborhouseofjackson/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/harborhouseofjackson/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/CQQF6a" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/CQQF6a</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Harbor-House-Chemical-Dependency-Services/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Harbor-House-Chemical-Dependency-Services/reviews</a></small></p>
