We built Jackson House because we realized there was a critical gap in our healthcare system and many individuals with mental illnesses and substance abuse problems were struggling because of it. While there are many outpatient treatment options and locked, inpatient facilities there was nothing in the middle. Nothing to help people who needed around the clock care but wanted to receive treatment voluntarily, on their own terms. Jackson House is different. We provide clients with the level of care they need in a welcoming environment. When you walk through our doors, we will meet you wherever you’re at and help you on your journey toward feeling better.
What Sets Jackson House Apart?

A provider of evidence-based treatment for a variety of mental health conditions, Jackson House provides personalized care in California and Oregon. This article presents information on what sets Jackson House apart in healthcare and gives details on our approach to treatment.
Getting to Know Jackson House
Jackson House was built to fill what was seen as a serious gap in the healthcare system that was leading to inadequate treatment for millions of people with mental health problems and substance abuse issues. To help fill that gap, Jackson House offers a voluntary residential program that fits between outpatient and inpatient treatment options.
Jackson House was designed around a key mission to nurture minds and restore lives. We want to provide the level of care you need in a very welcoming environment. We know everyone’s different, which is why our care is personalized and curated around your specific requirements. You can learn more on our About Us page.
Treatment options are diverse and highly structured to help you get into a healthy routine. We believe that an important aspect of treating mental health and substance abuse disorders is to establish positive habits. Residents are supported in getting back into good sleeping patterns, eating healthily, and exercising, and all of this in a welcoming place with attention to individuals’ value and safety.
Jackson House provides residential treatment at multiple locations in California and our center in Oregon City, while our Portland location focuses on outpatient behavioral health treatment.
What Jackson House Offers
We strive to offer what you need throughout the recovery process. This starts even before you’ve checked into the residential facility and extends beyond when you leave. Here’s a quick look at some of the key aspects of care from Jackson House:
- Free confidential consultations: Our admissions process begins with a completely free consultation. Everything we discuss is confidential. The consultation is designed to help us understand what you’re going through and whether Jackson House is the best solution. If it is, treatment options are presented and a plan is created that’s catered to your needs and long-term improvements.
- Open 24 hours a day: We appreciate that you can’t put a timeframe on when you need help. Being open 24/7 means there’s always someone to talk to.
- Evidence-based treatment: This is an important aspect of care for us. We’re in the business of treating patients with evidence-based solutions. Our treatments are backed by scientific research, ensuring evidence is behind our approaches to providing genuine help.
- Mental disorders treated: We treat a range of mental health disorders, as well as substance abuse disorders. If you suffer from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, or other mental illness, then Jackson House is positioned to help. We even treat those with dual diagnosis to help individuals with both a substance addiction and mental illness.
- Veterans program: One of the main features that sets us apart from other mental health care providers is our commitment to veterans. We provide various treatments specifically for those who have served the country through military service.
- Aftercare services: Our support doesn’t stop when you leave Jackson House. We want you to continue on the road to recovery, and so we provide a host of aftercare services, including an alumni group for connecting with others who’ve received care from Jackson House. We also put on alumni events so you can meet up with friends from Jackson House and support one another.
