Amenities

Private Rehab

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.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

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.

Alcoholism

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.

Men's Rehab

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.

Women's Rehab

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.

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.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Elderly rehab in Alaska offers specialized addiction treatment for senior adults. Programs are typically for ages 55 and older or 65 and older. Treatment is tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of the elderly population.

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

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.
