In response to a dire
need for affordable and accessible community-based residential
substance abuse treatment, forward-thinking business and
community leaders from the City of Jackson and surrounding
areas established in 1973 the Harbor Houses of Jackson, Inc.,
a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation.
Our treatment philosophy continues to focus on rehabilitating
the mind, body and spirit. We believe that addiction is a
treatable illness, that it can be overcome by following a
Twelve Step recovery program and that residents of our community
have a right to have access to high quality treatment services,
regardless of their ability to pay. Since 1973, we have provided
compassionate care to over ten thousand clients.
Harbor House is certified by the State Department of Mental
Health to operate 77 residential treatment beds at two locations
in Jackson, Mississippi. The State also certifies us to provide
Outreach and Aftercare programs and a DUI Diagnostic Assessment
Service.
In recognition of our growth and plans for future expansion,
we will begin doing business as Harbor House Chemical Dependency Services. This better reflects our updated mission which
is to offer a continuum of high quality, affordable and effective
chemical dependency treatment services and programs for adults and
their families, including those who cannot afford private treatment facilities. Our original logo has been modernized to
celebrate the start of a new era.
We are so very grateful for the generous support that we
receive from the Mississippi Departments of Mental Health
and Rehabilitation Services, the City of Jackson, Hinds County,
private foundations and individuals. We are where we are
today because of years of widespread community support, the
dedication and commitment of the Board of Directors and the
passion of our staff to offer high quality addiction treatment
services.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Harbor
House. Please feel free to email us at info@hhjackson.org
