About SEARHC – Raven’s Way
Their outpatient program offers daily services for individuals, groups and families. This will be a mix of private counseling, group processing sessions, education and recovery skills training.
One of the programs I like is their at-home medication treatment. Patients use an online app to scan a tamper aware label and then record themselves taking their medication. This removes the need to travel to the facility each day. Your care team will review the video sometime during the day. On top of being convenient, this method gives clients trust and freedom.
They also offer free help in signing up for health insurance or their financial assistance program. Dealing with the red tape of insurance can be a barrier to getting help, so I like that this is part of their offerings.
Their wellness support program lasts for 16 weeks and is open to anyone in outpatient addiction treatment. It is free to join and provides meals, housing and care coordination.

This is the best hospital that I’ve been to. The hospital itself is comfortable and clean, the staff is so kind and patient. I was seen by Dr. Bourdillon, she was very professional, extremely thorough, and I was impressed by her knowledge of my chronic conditions. Se sat with me for a long time, making sure that I was comfortable, and making sure that my dad and I were on the same page as her as far as treatment. I did not feel rushed, I felt that I was listened to, and I was extremely comfortable.
Was juggled around between 3 different departments and in the end was told by Paul in ER who was very rude and lied to us that there was nothing they could do and I had one more minute left before he hangs up the phone!!!
Horrible Costumer service, horrible billing system, they never actually help you and then they charge you thousands. I cannot wait to move purely so I never have to go to searhc again :)

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Group meetings, peer sponsorship, and spiritual development are the primary treatment modalities in 12 step programs, often considered a gold standard in addiction recovery. These programs emphasize healing in body, mind, and spirit as a cornerstone of recovery, though participants do not need to be religiously affiliated to attend. Recovery meetings are free, anonymous, open to the public, and available 365 days per year in communities across the US and around the world.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
During drug rehab in Alaska, you'll receive a combination of medical and psychotherapeutic treatments that are designed to treat drug dependency. The goal of drug rehab is to break this dependency and help you develop the skills to maintain a drug-free life.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
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.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Alaska is often used in the treatment of substance abuse and co occurring mental health disorders. This method of talk therapy is one of the most effective methods of treating these disorders.
Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers some of the same techniques as CBT but is adapted for individuals who are experiencing intense emotions. It helps the individual understand their emotions and change unhealthy behaviors.
Basic techniques for motivational interviewing include open ended questions and reflective listening. The therapist helps you come to your own conclusions about making changes in your life without coercion or judgment.
