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.

Private Rooms

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 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.

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.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab in Alaska is the most intensive level of care, offering 24/7 supervision while you live at the facility. In this setting, you will typically participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, and you may receive other holistic therapies

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.

Sober Living

Sober living in Alaska offers a transitional environment during your early days of recovery. These alcohol- and drug-free living arrangements provide peer support and a structured lifestyle for the first few months of sobriety.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

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.
