Alaska Addiction Rehabilitation Services, Inc.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Aftercare Support

Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program receive robust wraparound care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. The client's case manager, healthcare providers, and addiction recovery team partner with the client to develop a rehab aftercare plan that supports the client's long-term recovery and meets their unique goals. Drug rehab aftercare often encompasses a wide variety of services, such as peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.

12-Step

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.

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Group Therapy

Men and women who struggle with drug addiction benefit from group therapy. These sessions offer the opportunity to share experiences and learn coping strategies from their peers. Participants share similar struggles that can help foster mutual support and understanding.

Individual Therapy

People in Alaska seeking individual therapy for drug addiction receive personalized support to explore the root causes of their substance abuse. Your therapist guides you in developing healthier coping mechanisms and setting realistic goals. Your therapist also uses a customized approach to improve the effectiveness of the treatment and promote sustainable recovery.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy helps people who are recovering from addiction engage in structured activities that raise their self esteem and resilience. These activities could include hiking, team sports, and creative arts. They help divert focus away from substance use while improving your physical fitness. This provides a constructive outlet for stress and emotions.

Life Skills

Life skills development is a crucial part of rehab in Alaska. Developing these skills will help you have success in daily life, so you are less likely to relapse and can live an independent and productive life. These skills include self awareness, interpersonal skills, and thinking skills.
