About Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association

The Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association (APIA) is a federally recognized tribal organization offering outpatient substance use treatment and behavioral health services in Anchorage, Alaska, with reach extending into remote communities across the region.

APIA's Behavioral Health Clinic provides a range of services, including outpatient counseling, group therapy and the Awakuxtxin Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), supported by culturally grounded, community-focused care.

The clinic serves both Alaska Native and non-Native individuals, with a primary commitment to beneficiaries within APIA's service region.

Substance Use Treatment Programs at APIA

Treatment options at APIA's Anchorage clinic span early intervention, standard outpatient therapy and a structured Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), allowing clients to access the level of care best suited to their needs.

I've found that services are available both in-person and via telehealth, helping individuals in remote Alaska communities access consistent support.

Clients can expect individual counseling, group therapy, substance use assessments and psychological testing.

APIA, I've seen, also provides Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) to support families, alongside same-day counseling for acute crisis needs and expressive arts and wellness-focused therapy groups.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

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 & Mental Health

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.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
