JARF

Juvenile Addictions Receiving Facility

The Juvenile Addictions Receiving Facility (JARF) provides a safe environment for evaluation of an adolescent experiencing a substance abuse crisis. The JARF is a secure, medically supervised facility providing inpatient assessment, detoxification, stabilization, short-term (3-5 days) treatment and referral services for adolescents, ages 12-17. The program provides 24 hour, 7 day a week services for voluntary or involuntarily admitted clients. Involuntary clients must meet Marchman Act* criteria and can be admitted directly by a parent/guardian, law enforcement, physician’s certificate or court order.

Services Provided:

Comprehensive Assessment
Family Counseling
Health Information and Life Skills
Physician’s Examination
Recommendation and Referral
Structured Groups
Urine Drug Testing

Once admitted into this program, the adolescent will be examined and evaluated by a psychiatrist or other qualified medical staff to determine the level of treatment needed to provide the necessary steps for recovery.

Plans for continuing care begin once an assessment is complete. At the time of discharge, referrals and recommendations for ongoing treatment will be provided. A recommendation for extended services may be made to ensure a successful recovery. In this situation, the Compass Center, a residential treatment program for adolescents, may be the appropriate environment for care.
