      Despite Alaska’s small population, treatment options are becoming available across the state. There are now almost 100 different Alaska rehabs, each with different specialties, services, and even cultural backgrounds. Facilities treat both alcohol and drug abuse or dependence, and we can help find a rehab that meets your individual needs.

      You’ll find mostly outpatient facilities in Alaska. There are residential and inpatient rehab options, though there’s a smaller selection. In general, it’s understood that clients who attend inpatient rehab have better treatment outcomes because of the intensive therapy and 24/7 care available. But, a study on treatment outcomes in Alaska showed that the Alaskans who had greater success in staying sober attended treatment (either inpatient or outpatient) for more hours in general. Building a solid foundation in recovery takes time.

      Alaska’s treatment authority is the Division of Behavioral Health, which oversees both mental health and substance abuse services. The state recognizes the link substance abuse can have with mental and behavioral disorders, so its approach to treatment is more progressive. You’ll find that over half of Alaska’s treatment facilities are dual diagnosis rehabs.

      Most facilities will accept cash or self-payment, but Alaska’s treatment facilities also accept a wide range of insurance plans: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state-financed, federal military. Each rehab will be different, so ask about their payment options. If you can’t afford treatment, over 60% of rehabs in Alaska will try to accommodate you and offer treatment at no charge.

      Select a Rehab Center by County

      Alcohol and marijuana have been primary substances of abuse in Alaska over the years, as well as big money-makers. While these substances have remained popular in rural regions, in recent years, heroin, prescription opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamine have emerged in the state’s urban areas. Now, Alaska is one of the top ten states nationwide in rates of illicit drug use.

      Alaska—Treating Addiction, and Its Underlying Causes

      Alcohol and drug abuse rates have remained above the national average in Alaska, so the state is working to improve its prevention strategies and treatment efforts. Programs have been put in place to distribute clean syringes to intravenous drug users. There is now a Good Samaritan law to legally protect anyone in Alaska who is overdosing or reporting an overdose.

      Rehabs in Alaska continue to adopt evidence-based strategies to improve treatment success rates and help its citizens in need. There is a treatment facility in Alaska that can help you or your loved one find freedom from substance abuse. Call us to talk about the options available to you: 1-866-207-7436.

      • The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services also established the Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (ABADA) to help plan and coordinate quality behavioral health services in the state. The board seeks to evaluate and improve existing programs, as well as advocate for people and communities that are suffering from substance abuse.
      • Alaska’s ABADA has established an Alaska Opioid Policy Task Force (AOPTF) to provide recommendations to the state’s policymakers in an effort to reduce the negative impact of opioid dependence and abuse. The task force is representative of Alaskans who are involved in the substance abuse field, as well as the many different cultures and communities in the state.
      • Recover Alaska is a statewide coalition focused on helping people find freedom from alcohol abuse and achieve their full potential. The coalition works with other organizations to increase access to treatment and raise awareness about alcoholism.
