Jackie Nitschke Center

Jackie Nitschke Center The Jackie Nitschke Center serves adults & families facing the struggles of drug/alcohol addiction.

The Jackie Nitschke Center has been serving adults and families facing the struggles of substance addiction and mental health challenges since 1973. We provide life-saving hope, healing, and recovery to create stronger families and healthier communities. We believe that addiction is a complex medical disease and finding the right treatment is the first step towards disease management. Our evidence-based treatment is personalized to meet each client's needs and goals through a variety of therapeutic approaches in a respectful and compassionate manner in our home-like atmosphere. Since no two people are alike, no two treatment experiences are alike. We believe that life-long recovery is possible with the right treatment approach, our low client-to-counselor ratio and continuing care. Continuum of Care Includes:
- Residential Treatment
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)
- Outpatient / Aftercare
- Individual Therapy Sessions

Each October, National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month reminds us of the importance of recognizing and addressing mental health challenges early. Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States, impacting millions of people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Yet too often, it goes undiagnosed and untreated, leaving individuals to struggle in silence.

Early detection can make all the difference. Screenings are a simple, effective way to identify symptoms and connect people with the care they need before problems become more severe. Just as we check our blood pressure or cholesterol to maintain physical health, taking time to screen for mental health concerns is an essential step in protecting our emotional well-being.

At the Jackie Nitschke Center, we understand how deeply intertwined mental health and substance use disorders can be. Many of our clients come to us seeking help for addiction and discover that underlying depression, anxiety, or trauma has played a powerful role in their struggles. By identifying and addressing these co-occurring conditions, we can help each person begin to heal as a whole, mind, body, and spirit.

That’s why we screen every client for depression and other mental health diagnoses as part of our comprehensive treatment approach. We believe that true recovery requires understanding the full picture of each person’s mental and emotional health. This commitment ensures that every individual who walks through our doors receives the support, compassion, and care they deserve.

At the Jackie Nitschke Center, we’re doing our part to make sure no one has to face depression or recovery alone.

🥳Celebrating National Recovery Month🥳

Each September, communities across the nation come together to observe National Recovery Month—a time to celebrate the millions of Americans who are in recovery from substance use and mental health disorders. Recovery Month began in 1989 as a national observance by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). What started as a small awareness campaign has grown into a powerful movement, honoring the courage of individuals in recovery, the dedication of treatment providers, and the support of families and communities who walk alongside them.

The theme of Recovery Month is simple yet powerful: recovery is possible. It reminds us that with the right support, treatment, and resources, individuals can and do lead healthy, fulfilling lives. It also provides an opportunity to shine a light on the stigma that still surrounds addiction and mental health challenges—replacing judgment with compassion and understanding.

At the Jackie Nitschke Center, we see the hope and healing that recovery brings every single day. Recovery is not just about breaking free from substance use, but about reclaiming purpose, restoring relationships, and creating brighter futures. When our community comes together to celebrate recovery, it affirms that no one has to walk this journey alone.

At JNC, we are proud to celebrate National Recovery Month—not only as a reminder of the progress made, but as an ongoing call to action. Together, we can create a community where recovery is always possible and always supported.

International Self-Care Day: Small Steps, Big Impact

July 24 is International Self-Care Day, a global reminder of the importance of making our mental, emotional, and physical well-being a priority. The date 7/24 was chosen intentionally to reflect the idea that self-care should be practiced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not just something to turn to in times of stress or crisis, but a consistent, everyday practice that supports resilience, balance, and long-term health.

At the Jackie Nitschke Center, we see firsthand how powerful self-care can be, especially for individuals recovering from substance use and mental health challenges. In treatment and beyond, self-care is the thread that weaves together all other aspects of healing. It helps clients rebuild structure, re-establish trust in their bodies and minds, and develop habits that promote ongoing recovery and emotional well-being.

Self-care looks different for everyone, and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive. The most impactful practices are usually the most sustainable—small, intentional actions that help us stay grounded and connected.

Practical, Everyday Self-Care Ideas

🌳 Take time in nature
Go for a walk in the woods, sit by the water, or just step outside and feel the sun. Even 15 minutes outdoors can reduce stress and boost your mood.

🎨 Do something creative
Try a low-pressure art project, coloring book, or craft. Creativity is a powerful way to express emotions and find calm.

🍽️ Plan a simple night out
Meet a friend for coffee, go to a free community event, or explore a new part of town. Positive social time builds connection and joy.

📚 Unplug and unwind
Turn off your phone, light a candle, and enjoy a book, music, or quiet evening alone. Disconnecting helps recharge your mental energy.

🧺 Tidy your space
Clear a small area—your car, a drawer, or your nightstand. A clean, calm space can bring a sense of control and peace.

📝 Write it out
Jot down three things you're grateful for, or free-write whatever’s on your mind. Writing can be a powerful release and reflection tool.
