About this Facility

The Ernie Turner Center in Anchorage, Alaska, is an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab for adults. They offer dedicated programs for men, women, seniors, and young adults and combine psychotherapy with evidence based complementary approaches, including animal therapy. Dedicated programs for clients with co-occurring mental health disorders are available.

The Ernie Turner Center provides immersive inpatient care for clients in the early stages of recovery or those who are at a heightened risk for relapse, as when dealing with trauma, illness, grief, or loss. The private setting allows clients to focus on their recovery separate from the pressures of the outside world.

While in inpatient care, clients receive daily counseling sessions, addiction education, recovery focused life skills training, and an array of complementary treatments, including animal therapy. Clients also receive transitional support and aftercare planning to help them step down from inpatient care to outpatient or sober living programs.

Because a majority of people who experience substance use disorder will also be diagnosed with a co-occurring mental health disorder, the Ernie Turner Center provides robust mental health care services. This may include mental health assessments and clinical interventions, such as treatment with psychotropic therapies for addressing major depression, anxiety disorders, or other psychiatric conditions.

The Ernie Turner Center offers a variety of specialized programs for discrete patient populations, including young adults, seniors, women, and men.They are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). They accept self pay and private insurance.

Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) encompasses the conditions often referred to as alcoholism, alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, and alcohol addiction. If someone is addicted to alcohol, they continue to drink, even when experiencing negative consequences. But alcohol rehab in Alaska can help you overcome alcohol dependency. Treatment typically involves evidence-based therapies and support groups, but may also include medications to treat alcohol addiction.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

Alaska provides specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization programs, which address mental health and substance use disorders. You can generally expect a dual-diagnosis rehab to incorporate evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy. When combined, these programs and therapeutic interventions can successfully address co-occurring disorders to improve mental health and well-being.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Mental health and substance abuse treatment in Alaska is typically in a dual-diagnosis addiction treatment facility. These inpatient and outpatient programs involve individual counseling to address personal challenges and develop coping strategies, family therapy to improve communication and conflict resolution skills, and mindfulness-based practices — like meditation — to promote emotional well-being and stress reduction. By simultaneous mental health and addiction treatment, you’ll improve your mental health, achieve sobriety, and acquire the skills to maintain your recovery.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Level of Care

Inpatient

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.

Clinical Services

Animal Therapy

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of 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.
