About Wisdom Traditions Counseling Services
Wisdom Traditions Counseling Services, operating its addiction recovery program as Alaska Wisdom Recovery, is an Anchorage based integrated behavioral health practice serving adults and adolescents.
The team treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions using trauma informed, dual diagnosis capable care that spans partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and standard outpatient levels.
Their whole person philosophy combines addiction treatment with psychiatry, behavioral health and coordinated medical care to help you heal beyond sobriety alone.
Whole Person Addiction Recovery
Alaska Wisdom Recovery offers a full continuum of care including the Inside Passage partial hospitalization program, IOP with daytime and evening options, and medication assisted treatment using Suboxone, Naltrexone and Vivitrol.
An interdisciplinary team delivers integrative assessments and therapy, continuing care and alumni support.
Treatment draws on evidence based and holistic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR and Brainspotting, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to address the root causes of addiction.
I want to point out clients describe finding practical solutions and value the ongoing alumni support that helps them navigate life's challenges after treatment.
Family Centered Care
I like that a strong family systems orientation sits at the heart of the recovery philosophy here, with marriage and family therapy, education groups and family participation throughout care.
A dedicated adolescent program adds IOP, outpatient and individual, family and case management services, while trauma focused modalities support veterans and those managing PTSD and anxiety, grief and chronic relapse.
Next Steps
Located along Anchorage's airport corridor on West International Airport Road, the practice offers both in person and telehealth services in a private and comfortable setting.
They accept many insurance plans including Blue Cross/Blue Shield and TRICARE/TriWest, Aetna and Cigna, United Health Care and Alaska Medicaid, and staff will help verify benefits and assist those who are uninsured.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.
Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Each adult program in Alaska is unique, but they all share the same goal of recovery. These programs offer treatment of substance abuse disorders for individuals 18 and older. Methods typically include a combination of therapies, medication, and social support.
Alcohol rehab in Alaska provides a combination of psychotherapeutic and medical methods to treat alcohol dependency. The aim of treatment is to help participants learn how to achieve and maintain sobriety and live a healthy lifestyle, free from the consequences caused by alcohol abuse.
Gender-specific addiction treatment can target recovery issues faced by men. Men’s rehab in Alaska focuses on challenges specific to males as they struggle with alcohol or drug use disorders.
The techniques used to treat substance use disorders among men don’t always work as effectively with women. That’s why women’s rehab in Alaska provides gender-specific treatment that focuses on the unique needs of women.
Opioid rehab in Alaska is designed to help individuals cease destructive, opioid-dependent behaviors and guide them to recovery. Treatment addresses physical, mental, and emotional issues that drive these behaviors.
In Alaska, cognitive behavioral therapy is used widely in substance use disorder treatment. It helps by teaching people how to address problematic feelings and thoughts so they can overcome addiction and move forward in recovery.
Levels of Care
In Alaska, outpatient rehab settings provide several hours of treatment each week, including individual and group therapy. This type of program is less restrictive than inpatient rehab, allowing you to attend therapy to overcome your addiction while still fulfilling work and school obligations.
Dual diagnosis is when you’re struggling with mental illness and addiction at the same time. Alaska dual diagnosis treatment takes a multidisciplinary approach to treat both conditions simultaneously.
Once you leave the structure of rehab, you’ll face many decisions and temptations. Alaska aftercare rehab is there to support you as you build your life in recovery. It provides accountability and encouragement to maintain sobriety. Aftercare may include 12-step programs, access to counseling, and life coaching.
Before treatment at a drug rehab in Alaska can begin, intervention services are often needed. These include pre-intervention counseling with family members, facilitating an intervention, developing a treatment program, and assistance with admittance to a program.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are a type of outpatient treatment that allow you to live at home while undergoing day treatment at a drug rehab in Alaska. You will participate in a variety of therapeutic techniques designed to keep you engaged in the recovery process, including individual and group counseling, recovery education, regular medical evaluations, and relapse prevention skills.
