About Denali Family Services
Denali Family Services is a behavioral health and outpatient mental health treatment provider in Anchorage, Alaska, serving children, teens, young adults and families since 1995.
This private nonprofit, I've found, offers outpatient counseling, case management and psychiatric services centered on youth with mental, behavioral and emotional needs.
Denali Family Services delivers trauma informed, strength based care designed around both the young person and their family system.
Behavioral Health Programs and Levels of Care
Services typically begin with a mental health or psychiatric assessment to identify the right level of support.
From there, clients may access individual therapy, family therapy and group therapy tailored to children, adolescents and young adults facing serious emotional or trauma related challenges.
Treatment draws on approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing and Trust Based Relational Intervention.
Additional support, I've found, includes case management, care coordination, family psychoeducation, peer support, psychosocial rehabilitation and a 24 hour crisis hotline for current clients and families.

Amenities
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
