This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Alaska Behavioral Health provides comprehensive therapy for adults with various mental health needs. Its Anchorage-based teams specialize in assisting those with acute mental illness through intensive case management. These teams work within the community to offer evaluation, support, and advocacy. They help individuals build essential life skills to achieve independence and manage their conditions effectively, guiding them on a path toward recovery. A broad range of services is available to support each person's recovery goals. This includes crisis intervention, psychiatric evaluation and treatment, and medication management. The center also provides individual and group counseling, using proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Case management, peer support, and vocational services are integrated to help individuals build skills, prevent relapse, and improve their overall well-being. Accessing these services is direct and simple. Although referrals from doctors are welcome, anyone can seek help without one. An initial assessment ensures each person receives a customized care plan. There is no waitlist for services, and appointments are typically available within two weeks. Individuals can walk in for crisis support or schedule an intake to begin their journey toward mental wellness.
