Co-Occurring Treatment Designed for Teens
Services include withdrawal management, individual, group, and family therapy, psychiatric care, psychological evaluation, and case management. Each teen begins with an orientation period of up to two weeks, allowing staff to assess needs and stabilize those requiring withdrawal support. Medical and psychiatric check-ins are integrated during this time to ensure safety. The program’s on-site school, operated by the Anchorage School District, enables students to continue their education alongside therapy and recovery work.
Integrated Peer Support
Peer Support Specialists use their own recovery experience to help youth and families build trust and stay engaged in care. The Access & Engagement team, which includes peer supporters and a mental health clinician, provides early connection through pre-assessment support, crisis intervention, and family guidance. Within the program, peer supporters mentor youth in recovery, assist with life skills, and support education and employment planning.
Campus Designed to Encourage Recovery
Located in Eagle River, Alaska, the facility is surrounded by mountain views and open natural light. The facility includes two residential wings, classrooms, and a gym with a climbing wall and basketball hoop. The group rooms and outdoor fire pit create a warm, communal environment that supports both structure and comfort. Youth are encouraged to take part in meaningful activities such as music, recreation, and art to develop healthy coping skills.

Quality and Trust
Trust Score
A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.
Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
