I, like all, was at ICFR at the worst time of my life. I had several doctor appts that I needed to make when I went in. The travel was accommodated for me to be able to be taken to so I didn't miss them and that was one of my biggest concerns. When I had a major issue, Nick Gore (regional VP)was ON IT quickly to guide me thru it. The program was a vital step in saving my life and here I am almost 2 yrs sober now. Thankful for this facility!

If they took my insurance which covers everything, it would def be a better experience. However the choice between using and taking my medicine is clear to me and worth the money in the end. However it is a program that you have to work for yourself. No one can do it for you.

Let me just say I was a patient at Medmark for years and above everything no matter what because they open at 4:45 AM says it all. They generally want to meet everyday people’s needs to live a normal life.In and out the door before 5am to do what you need to do w your life. Try and find another clinic that does that for you. You won’t. Working men and women this your clinic. Just no weed. Sorry.

I do not typically do these reviews however I felt very strongly I needed to. I have been in the program for over 7 years. The program honestly saved my life after trying several other things. My addiction became like most had back problems and my doctors were very free to prescribe the opioids and benzodiazepines. Xanax was actually the worst for me hospitalized for over 10 days due to all the seizures. Anyways the nurses Yolanda Jackie Val are sweethearts and have never judged me once. Yolanda is the one person who always tells me she is proud of me I don’t even hear that from family. Kim who runs front desk is also great. In my experience I have had around 6 counselors and sorry to say this is the downfall here. I don’t know if they are overworked micromanaged or just don’t care but I have had to go elsewhere for my counseling. I have promise for my new counselor April who is new to this location. Since starting she has been on top on my case not letting anything slide. She gets accomplished what the 5 others took months to do and I appreciate that. Non judgmental follow-up and just caring she accomplishes where most can’t and this is what keeps me clean and alive and I thank her for that more than I can say. Doctor is a different story for a different day I will just say to the women ask that a third person be in the room. That’s all!
From the first day I started here with my new insurance my doctor and her staff have been excellent. They go above and beyond to help me. I have never been doing this good with my academics and work as well as life in general. Big thanks to Dr. Pati, Belinda, and this facility. I am doing better than I ever have been and you guys are helping in a tremendous way!

Have had nothing but a great experience in my almost a year being here. From the staff to the medical professionals, all around great human beings who genuinely care about you getting better and staying on track towards success.
I have been through this building on several verying capacities over the years... Most notably when I was interested in KNBA their ol local "native owned and ran" radio station. I was working with local musicians and KNBA asked to promote them as one of the preeminent local musician advocates (arguably THE preeminent local musician advocate... They must have literally thousands of local musicians CDs in their studio 🎙️ curated and cultivated and cued up regularly, some more than others, live on the radio by Loren Dixon, THE voice of KNBA, for quite some time now! If you enjoy their programming, you've certainly heard his perfect-for-the-NPR-crowd calm informative never TOO excited, but never NOT at least a little but excited for things to come, seemingly intrepid irrevocably refreshing cantakerous banter plucking through the chorus of chords that the day can decanter... He's a REAL pro... Don't ya know! But I did l digress.
That's on the 4th floor. Yesterday visit was to the 3rd floor (for court appointed alcohol / substance / compliance due to an ongoing fulfillment of my conditions of release upon. I've been spending the last year and change recovering from a charge and resulting 4 months in a box, several in fact, that combined with most of that year tiptoeing through our local pretrial enforcement division (think probation BEFORE actually getting charged... Sort of like the whole guilty before innocent thing is more of "legal technicality" because if I am honest, it felt like I was treated like a criminal and guilty, from the first moment until .. well even NOW actually .. I am still having to jump through hoops resulting from this "crime" and have been treated VASTLY different than others I know that have committed similar "criminal acts" for what I can only assume are preconcluded presumptions based upon social status, presence of a property tax (or house or land ownership ie money) and more consistent income streams.
Digress again.
So I'm signed up for an assessment to gauge my level of treatment for alcohol and substances in lieu of the more traditional ANGER MANAGEMENT, to fulfill my ALCOHOL SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (ASAP) otherwise it's back in the box for 15 more days... I guess it's worth it. I'll jump through the hoops to avoid that soul sucking purgatory.
I guess they also have all kinds of programs to help native people with all kinds of monetary things and life skills things. All basically free (except you pay in TIME).
I'll post another review after my drug and alcohol assessment. Depending on whether it's fine (probably won't post unless it's a Trainwreck or they knock it out of the park!)
Wish me luck!
Excellent and highly personalized treatment, professional staff are always willing to engage and assist in any capacity, my experience here is one of a kind.

Honestly I want to say ideal options is the most amazing place that I have dealt with in my recovery! I see Dr. Gregory Cagle, he has been nothing but patient, understanding and helpful through everything. Not only does he prescribe medication, but he actually cares about his patients and their outcome for their lives. Doctors like him deserve to be recognized and abilities known to others!

I love how much they care for their environment and animals there. The staff is amazing and caring to everybody; including that animals.
This methadone clinic is likely the best of the bunch. They still drop the ball at times though. I have gotten conflicting information from different staff members on several occasions. When it results in missing a dose I get pissed off. But, like I said, this one is likely the best of the 3 in town. It is a non profit, all that means is the owners are on the payroll.
They don't like to leave paper towels in the bathroom. They know people are going to UA for them but refuse to follow sanitary procedures, disgusting. Just downright unsanitary hogs, Sickening!!!!!!!!

It would be great to have a clinic in Kenai or Soldotna, Alaska.
I loved the place and its staff. The location is good. Great view of the mountains. A good size backyard to have fun in during the summer. A basketball hoop to enjoy throwing the ball in on some days. The food is very good. And have a potlach with other treatment facilities which I think is good to commune with others in the same situation as I. Was able to get lots of help for my addiction. I graduated from here a few years back then not listening to referrals for outpatient I started using again after working. With more of a committed ability I have now I am motivated for another try to figure this out and I feel safe going aback to Chanlyut. I was treated with outmost respect and dignity. Got good knowledgeable skills and had fun that I thought I wasn't going to have again. The sauna is very helpful during spiritual time. I absolutely enjoyed it. Our meetings were always appropriate and respectable to us as individuals in addiction. I felt it was. The outings were always fun to enhance out natural chemistry of dopamine. I did feel a urgently feeling of wanting to live on its terms again. I laugh at that because of my back to addiction life but now it's not a joke because of life is precious. I hope I feel this message will reach out to many. And hope that many are finding hope from this disease of addiction.
Very curtius an generous and helpful as well gave resources and good information helped me carry bags cuz my can't lift anything very kind company

Salvation Army is awesome it's a good organization and truly do help people and unfortunately their prices are going crazy because they shouldn't be that high. If you can buy something brand new pets cheaper than getting something at a second hand store it's just wrong.
I cannot say enough good things about this place it’s a lifesaver for veterans, active duty and their spouses struggling with substance abuse and mental health. The staff here is so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and the chef is very friendly lady as well. If they are not able to get you the help you need which is unlikely then they will be able to find other treatment centers that can help you.

I have struggled with PTSD, Polytrauma, TBI, and over 25 surgeries from my military and paramilitary service. A large portion of my life has been spent in the US Air Force, US Army and a several alphabet agencies including DAC DCMA and the SAC formerly the SAD of the National Clandestine Service. The majority of my career was supported under title 50 something most people dont know exists. It is the NRO NSA CIA and NGA all in one for both intelligence and clandestine covert operations. I served in the ground branch air branch sea branch and special programs branch and have been wounded and suffered various injuries and illness as a result of my service. I can now speak freely about the things done for the sake of our freedoms partially to relieve my guilt and mostly to heal myself and deal with grief for the others who did not survive and got a star on the wall or were misled about where and how there loved one in the military died.
Because Kris Kyle Staff understand the sacrifices made by people in and out of uniform in service to there country mostly by first hand experience, I now have a team effort for healing that is as strong as the collaborative effort and need for covert operations. Truth is very important in my healing process and I was trained and instructed to not disclose the nature or specifics about my job to the point of enforcement by death for some violations. Angie, Chris, Josh, Jared and others have served directly and assisted by listening and not labeling my story as crazy something a few civilian providers have done mostly due to lack of understanding or collusion with adversaries to the role and mission of the clandestine service. I myself am also a USC MSW trained clinician who can diagnose and treat mental illness and have found my education and experience helpful but have not been able to heal myself despite multiple attempts. I turned to alcohol and other substances to cope making bad situations worse. The insight into my injuries and ailments by staff is remarkable and I hope for ongoing healing and the ability to be compassionate for myself something I have neglected for a very long time.
I hope I will be able to transition to a PHP/IOP with Kris Kyle to avoid having to tell my story to another group or provider re opening or re starting on areas I have made progress. Most traditional special mission units have camaraderie in there brothers but the SAC are and were trained to be able to operate in hostile environments for multiple years without external support for there missions. This self reliance is a boomerang that has come back to hit me multiple times. In short I needed help and still do.
My treatment goals have been identified reviewed and updated weekly when an entire team of Subject Matter Experts in there field have a sit down and discuss what's working what isn't and what can be done better so I can reach my full potential. Thos approach is novel. I have successfully completed many inpatient treatment programs but have failed after I left for a variety of reasons not the least of which is adequate care for Severe TBI I received while conducting operations in my own country. This was identified early and the team has arranged appropriate level of continued care including Neurological assessments and tests at nearby JBER and coordinated with VA POLYTRAUMA and other providers of specialized medical services.
If you or a loved one needs help with complicated traumatic experiences or are suffering from addiction and are a Veteran Active duty or first responder Kris Kyle is by far the best option .
I traveled from CA via C 17 to be here so u don't have to be an Alaskan to come to this Tier 1 facility.

This place is a great resource for people who were recently incarcerated and trying to get on their feet.
This place offers many resources for its clients and for those who are not clients and/or do not qualify for the program, this place can provide resources for other agencies in the area that might be able to help.
This is a great first step for those who are trying to reenter society after incarceration.
I've been going here for a while now (almost 3 years) and while it has 100% helped me on my journey to recovery, I have been trying to get then to lower my dose a little at a time so I can e mentally get off od ir. Anyways, besides that it is an adequate methadone clinic like any other. It us a bit cleaner than some others I've seen which is a plus and it usually doesn't have a long line to wait in to dose. All in all I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
