All John Volken Academy students at our Arizona, Utah and Washington locations are insured through state insurance, which allows them to see a doctor, have access to free medications (if needed), and have regular dental checkups and cleanings. Students attending our Canada location may be covered by BC medical or other provincial insurance rules. Please find this out before your admission to the program.
Yes, we accept individuals who are on probation as well as individuals coming here as an alternative sentence to jail.
Our program has been designed and developed by addiction professionals and healthy-living specialists.
