Levels of Care
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.
Intensive Outpatient
Instensive Outpatient programs 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. Serenity Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient Programs were developed to provide solid aftercare for individuals who have graduated from our residential program, as well as for individuals who are struggling with less-severe substance use disorder that does not yet call for residential treatment. Intensive Outpatient is for clients who need 9 or more therapeutic contact hours per week, whereas Outpatient is for clients who require a less intensive degree of therapeutic involvement.
Aftercare
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
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.

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).

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.

PHP treatments typically include behavioral therapies, relapse prevention, and medication management. individual therapy, group counseling, family involvement, educational sessions, and skill-building activities.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
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
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.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
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
Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers some of the same techniques as CBT but is adapted for individuals who are experiencing intense emotions. It helps the individual understand their emotions and change unhealthy behaviors.
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. Central Peninsula Behavioral Health offers Group Therapy options daily for adults in either of their Outpatient programs, with many different kinds of groups to choose from. Their clients can select from two Family Group Therapy options, Relapse Prevention Group, Art Therapy for Self-Discovery, Mindfulness Skills, Future’s Planning Group, Interpersonal Skills Group, Seeking Safety (Trauma and Substance Use), and other similar options. They offer many different group therapy choices so that an individual can select those that will best meet the individual’s personalized goals for Recovery. Along with a wide variety of groups to choose from, clients in our program also receive individual and family counseling sessions, usually on a weekly basis, with a certified mental health and/or chemical dependency counselor.
Individual Therapy
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.
Motivational Interviewing
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.
Trauma Therapy
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.
Family Therapy
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
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
