Details: Located in the mountains of Western Maryland, The Lois E. Jackson Unit is a licensed residential adolescent addiction treatment program offering a high quality comprehensive and confidential continuum of care. We specialize in treating all forms of substance abuse and focus on helping clients and their families find solutions to the complex issues associated with addiction. The Jackson Unit is operated by the Allegany County Health Department, and has been helping adolescents since 1980. A team of dedicated and experienced staff provide a professional yet personal touch to ensure that clients receive the necessary individualized treatment they need to facilitate growth and recovery in a warm and friendly environment. Created as one of the first residential adolescent treatment programs in the United States, the Jackson Unit was founded on the belief that an early intervention was necessary in order to break the cycle of addiction and treat the gamut of harmful consequences and issues related to teenage chemical dependency. Offering a holistic 60-day approach, our clinical team addresses issues such as past trauma, co-occurring disorders, and family discord. In order to determine a client’s appropriate level of care, the Jackson Unit evaluates candidates using the American Society of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement Criteria (ASAM-PPC). The Jackson Unit accepts most insurance plans, including Maryland Medicaid. Fees are assessed via the Maryland sliding fee scale. Adolescents are accepted from throughout the state of Maryland.
