Will personal insurance be provided by JVA?
All John Volken Academy students at our Arizona, Utah, and Washington campuses are covered by state insurance, giving them access to medical care, necessary medications at no cost, and routine dental checkups and cleanings. Students at our Canada location may be covered under BC Medical or other provincial insurance programs—please verify your coverage prior to admission.
Do you accept individuals who are on probation or coming from jail/prison?
Yes. We accept individuals who are currently on probation as well as those coming to the program as an alternative to incarceration. In many cases, we work directly with the courts prior to sentencing so that an individual may attend JVA in lieu of serving jail time.
Do you have professionals on staff?
With the Therapeutic Community approach, our program is extremely effective and truly life-changing. Our program is diligently instituted through peer to peer participation with guidance and direction from our Program Directors and other paid staff.
Do you offer medical detox?
We do not offer medical detox. If you are interested in coming to the John Volken Academy and feel you may require medical detox, we will advise you to get the medical assistance you need before entering our program.
Am I allowed to smoke cigarettes?
All of our facilities are smoke-free environments, this includes vaping and smokeless tobacco. Nicotine products of any kind are not allowed at any of our facilities.
