I received a call about JD . Admission . The employee ,Donald ,whom I was transferred was too rude and not covering any information when I ask specific details. Moreover he was speaking as if he was the one who decides about my education. JD program of the school is only accredited with California and advisor had a very limited knowledge in the legal field to help. Purely dissatisfied with the call .

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Not sure why no ones has replied to me. I sent an email to admissions office, one to a representative who emailed me & also messaged them on Facebook 2 days ago. Communication seems really slow, I don t think I want to be in a program where snail mail is normal.UPDATE: I m not surprised they ending up having to shut down all operations & cease enrollment. The admissions department was a complete mess & had no idea what I was talking about regarding transfer credit... how do I know more than the people who are supposed to be experts in that??Another Update: I checked out their Flexcourse curriculum for the BA in psychology. There is no section for any elective courses.. 54 credits of general education (pre-selected), 42 credits in the major & 24 credits in a concentration.. that s the first time ever seen a degree without any elective options. That s pretty ridiculous.

STAY FAR AWAY.This college does not respect catalog rights and does not care about student success. As is the case with most schools there are a handful of teachers that are very responsive and helpful. However, the administration treats students like cattle.When I started here they said that you can learn at your own pace as long as you paid your tuition and remained active in the class. Then they changed and said that you have to show very specific types of activity in the class (which were frankly trivial). I was able to show this activity with no problem. However, they recently changed the rules again and said you have to complete each course in EIGHT weeks. I capitalize eight because the coursework is the equivalent of 12-15 weeks. You have to write 3 huge papers followed by an exam and one MASSIVE project. This presents a challenge especially because their online library is REALLY lame. Recently, they made it even more lame by gutting learning resources that I had relied on.In addition to these issues, courses do not contain lectures from actual instructors. Instead you can think of it as a massive collection of outdated videos and course materials that are pieced together from over 10 years ago. Moreover, the main measure of assessment is writing papers based on vague writing prompts that often do not match content found in the reading material.Bottom line- this place changes the rules constantly, has lame learning resources and curriculum and is NOT suited for someone who is working full time.

I feel as though this university would have many more applicants to their online self paced & very affordable flexcourse bachelor degree programs if they didn t require specific courses in their general education requirements.. also why is physics a requirement? Not many adults who are looking to go back to school while juggling work & life are going to understand physics let alone college algebra. This is probably the worst general education curriculum I ve ever seen a university implement & I research hundreds of higher education institutes. One other thing - on the flexcourse page it states that anyone with an ADT (associate degree in general education for transfer) from a California community college is able to satisfy/ waive all general education requirements in the flexcourse bachelor degree programs & enter as a junior. Well I emailed & called a JFKU Representative & was told that this policy is incorrect & that this part of the webpage is going be taken down - well this was at least 6 months ago... it seems like she just didn t understand what I was talking about.. this university s flexcourse department really needs to get it together.
