About Our Organization
Rosecrance Jackson Centers is a full-service behvioral health company. It is the largest, free-standing, not-for-profit substance use treatment facility in the state of Iowa. For more than 40 years, Jackson's professional staff has provided a broad range of specialized care for adults, adolescents and families with substance use disorders, psychiatric conditions, co-occuring disorders, process addictions as well as behavioral issues. We also provide primary medical care focusing on prevention and treatment in a recovery supportive manner.
A key component for recovery is a clear mind and focus, but recovery is effected by more than just state of mind. We are seeking funds for exercise equipment whiich will help our clients get physically "Fit for Recovery". This will enable them to think clearer, feel stronger and be ready to meet each day with focus. Our clients deserve to work out on quality health equipment to further their recovery.
This will be used to refinish the playground surfaces at the Women and Children’s Centers. it will provide a padded type surface for the children who are using these play areas. This lines up with our mission and the number one priority of our wonderful and deserving children at Women and Children's Centers.
Our 2020 campaign is “Riding for Recovery”. We will be utilizing all Big Give donations towards the purchase of a van. This van will transport clients to doctor and other essential appointments and activities in the community. This is an important component for our clients in our residential services.
Your gifts will help us to achieve our mission of saving lives and helping those that seek treatment find their path to recovery. All money raised will support our programs and clients we serve.
At Jackson, we believe in healing the whole person. Creating a connection to the environment around them is a key component to helping our patients identify and extend the “pause” between cravings and reacting to those cravings. Eco-mindfulness uses specific traditional therapeutic techniques combined with strategic exposure to nature to help with this.
We have started the creation of our space that will be used. It currently is home to a community sweat lodge that was built and is utilized by our Native American friends in the community. Ideally, we will expand this area to include a 4 season gazebo for group sessions along with facilities for changing and bathrooms.
