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.

Outpatient

Clients engaged in an outpatient rehab program receive regular therapeutic care while continuing to live at home. Outpatient care is designed for clients in more advanced stages of recovery who no longer require intensive supervision. Many clients in outpatient treatment continue to work or attend school, while receiving counseling and education during the evening, night, or weekend. Levels of care vary based on clients’ needs, ranging from partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) to standard outpatient programming.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Group Therapy

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
