About this facility
The Akeela center in Ketchikan, Alaska, offers outpatient care for adults experiencing substance use or mental health challenges. Treatment includes 12 to 18 weeks of group and individual counseling focused on building coping skills and preventing relapse. Clients begin with an assessment to match them with the most appropriate services, helping ensure care is personalized and effective from the start.
The center also offers mental health services for all ages, including trauma-focused care and psychiatric support. Children can receive play or drama therapy, especially when family trauma is involved. For individuals facing both substance use and mental health needs, Akeela provides coordinated treatment, so clients don’t have to navigate separate systems for care.
Throughout treatment, clients work closely with a team of professionals who help set goals and create personalized care plans. If additional services are needed, Akeela connects clients to trusted community partners. The center’s goal is to support lasting recovery and help people return to daily life with improved well-being and stability.
