Have you visited the Anchorage lately?

We have had a number of improvements completed and several more still being completed at this time. This all was made possible through a grant designated for these improvements that we applied for and received in December of 2007. On any 2nd and/or 4th Thursday of any month, we would like to have you come visit and tour our facilities. This tour and lunch starts at 12 noon and ends promptly at 1:15pm.

We look forward to your visit soon!

SubNav: Program Structure | Facilities

Our programs consist of two separate and distinct phases.

Phase I is designed to focus mainly on the spiritual aspect of addiction and teaches the skills to confront and overcome problems.

Phase II is designed to complement Phase I and teaches the skills for productive living.

The program structure is designed and implemented by the staff, board members, and other professionals in the community. All efforts are made to ensure that the emotional and spiritual needs of our clients are met in a professional manner.
