Treatment

Mental Health

During inpatient addiction treatment, you live at the facility while receiving mental health services. Around the clock supervision by clinical and mental health providers creates a safe environment–whether it’s in a hospital, clinic, or luxury facility. Most inpatient programs last 30 days, but some last several months. Mental health programs include assessment, individual and group counseling, education on addiction recovery, relapse prevention, and training in emotional regulation.

Levels of Care

Sober Living Homes

For individuals in recovery, a sober living home in Alaska can provide a good transition place between inpatient treatment and home. These structured, substance-free environments give individuals a safe place to practice and reinforce the lessons they learned in rehab before they try to re-enter their lives. Residents must abide by halfway house rules such as contributing to chores, working or going to school, and remaining substance-free.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
