Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Each young adult program in Alaska focuses on meeting the social, educational, psychological, physical, and spiritual needs of young adults who are struggling with addiction. Programs vary from inpatient to outpatient, offering different levels of care.

Adult Program

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

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.

LGBTQ Friendly Rehab

The same techniques used to treat men for substance use disorders 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.

Rehab For Veterans

Veterans who are struggling with addiction can get specialized treatment at Veteran’s rehab in Alaska. Programs include targeted services for returning combat Veterans, homeless Veterans, and women Veterans. These services focus on the unique needs of Veterans who are facing addiction.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

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 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.
