Terrible treatment center. I highly recommend you don't send your loved ones there. My life was endangered because of the Staff director at the time. I was on a benzo taper, had spent 4 days there detoxing from heroin and klonopin. Blacked out the night before entering treatment there I put tobacco in a shampoo bottle. My room was raided and I was kicked to the curb for a decision I made under the influence prior to entering treatment. They threw away my prescribed medication in my name and jeopardized my life, and falsified my UA results, claiming I had been using when I wasn't. Joshua Sunkist should be stripped of his license. An individual of his caliber has no business over the lives and well being of others. Rainforest is the shortest 3.5 treatment center in Alaska and people only go there so they can get their kids back. Not only do they jeopardize the lives of individuals, but they also jeopardize the lives of "children". "Accountability" is huge, not just for "addicts" years later I'm still livid, and will be holding Joshua accountable for his disgusting actions. 5 years clean now no thanks to him or rainforest recovery center. I'd recommend getting an ACE assessment and going to trauma informed therapy. Listening to staff reading antiquated material will do nothing for you. Joshua is going to be "sun-kissed" alright. There is one ultimate truth & that's Jesus Christ, my Lord and savior. "Love" is what's needed, not judgement and isolation of a partner. That's what your equation is missing, "Love". "Understaffed", "undertrained", "underpaid", that's the name of the "profit" game. Word to the wise - "what affects the rabbit, affects the following" - power thrusting and falsifying UA results is criminal Joshua. My "traumas" have been compounded by every single treatment center I've been to in Alaska due to unjust "negligence" but none more so than rainforest. What you "reap" is what you "sow" - treatment centers like this are why your children are dying at unprecedented rates. Doping them up on suboxone & methadone to profit your government isn't much better either. But, at least it's there for us in our times of need, and available to those whom need it. However, it wouldnt be needed if proper assessments and treatments were provided & given the first half a dozen times around. Their "treatments" are akin to purchasing bottled water from Flint, Michigan. "Behavioral modification" doesnt work for addicts unless societies behavior changes as well. The only "behavioral modification" that's needed is detoxing, after that the "correct treatments" derived from the "correct assessments" & "emotional involvement" from case workers. They push "Accountability" but they're not holding themselves "accountable" and they are not fully "accounting" for anything. "Love" is what's needed not the "boot". Treatment centers like this are "criminal" & they will be held accountable. I've got the heart of a "lion". Be prepared for the "$ubpoena" ;)

They falsify UA results when they have more than a certain number of patients. They don't care about you. They just want to bill your insurance and kick you out.

Question iconWho Answers?

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab enables clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Housing, meals, and recreational activities are provided. Inpatient treatment allows clients to engage in extensive addiction counseling and recovery education. The environment also provides clients with an opportunity to prepare for the transition to outpatient care or community-based recovery programs.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
aftercare iconAftercare 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 icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
When someone performs a drug intervention in Alaska, the event is a time where loved ones gather and attempt to convince their family member or friend that they need treatment for substance abuse. Participants share their feelings that the person has become a danger to themselves and others and has reached a point where they need professional treatment. To guide them through this process, professional intervention services are often necessary.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
The partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides intensive care for those who don't require 24-hour care and can serve as a step down from residential programming. PHP treatments typically include behavioral therapies, relapse prevention, and medication management. individual therapy, group counseling, family involvement, educational sessions, and skill-building activities. PHP treatment is often covered by insurance and typically requires a weekly minimum of 20 hours. Depending on your needs, the duration of a partial hospitalization program can last for 90 days.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Alaska is often used in the treatment of substance abuse and co occurring mental health disorders. This method of talk therapy is one of the most effective methods of treating these disorders.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

Basic techniques for motivational interviewing include open ended questions and reflective listening. The therapist helps you come to your own conclusions about making changes in your life without coercion or judgment.

During trauma therapy, you address traumatic memories within a supportive environment guided by your therapist. This helps you develop healthier coping mechanisms and reduces the emotional impact of the trauma. Overall, it improves your mental health and well being.

Couples therapy is designed to help couples resolve conflicts and increase understanding and affection. A therapist meets with the couple to help them express feelings and work through relationship challenges.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

A combination of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), counseling, and peer support can be a good way to break free from smoking. The NRT treats your physical symptoms so you can focus on addressing any emotional or mental addiction.

This establishment is a joke, I seriously don t know how they are still open. They should be shut down for good or only be allowed to take in alcoholics. The doctor that was there during my time there accused me of getting drugs and claimed I had done meth, mdma, and several other drugs that I sure the hell didn t do and was kicked out for smoking a cigarette that some other patient brought into the facility. I was kicked out for merely tobacco which is pathetic especially in the grand scheme of things. I had been completely sober for 4 days and would still be sober if it wasn t for an incompetent doctor and staff. Even worse I was prescribed Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine which is as dangerous as coming off alcohol. They thru away all my medication and told me I would be just fine. After being on the medication for months. I ended up having a seizure thank god not a lethal one. Joshua Sunkist was the doctors name. I may have misspelled his last name but that man should be stripped of his license for putting me in such a predicament. Also lying to my parents saying I was using there when I really hadn t and said I was doing drugs that I would NEVER do. Long story short this place is terrible and I wouldn t recommend it to any addict that s truly trying to get clean cuz it s nearly impossible in such a place especially with that doctor. For opiate addicts if u complain they just feed you suboxone which is not the answer and coming from someone who had been to several rehabs this place of all of them was absolutely terrible and ineffective. It s literally a joke and I feel sorry for any individual who made the mistake or had the misfortune of going there. Absolutely unacceptable and I m personally gonna file a law suit once I have the means

Rainforest 'Recovery' center Made me wait over a month only to deny me with no reason given and still have not provided my medical records. I don't know how these people sleep at night knowing how many people's lives they've placed in jeopardy due to their incompetence.Everyone I ask who live throughout the world have never heard of a rehab denying dual-diagnosed patients in crisis after being given a bed date. I showed up with my bags and their 'clinical team' denied me and refused to give me a reason.Update: still still no reason given for denial or response. Discriminatory in nature, their clinical team demanded respect and dignity but refused to give it. Avoid if you're serious about sanity and sobriety.

RainForest recovery center is not individually designed to help patients. I feel they have done more harm than good especially with their Suboxone program and their medical team being able to discharge patients and denying them after care.
