Conditions and Issues Treated
Alcoholism
Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions in Anchorage, Alaska. Alcohol addiction (often referred to as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder) is characterized by a deep craving for alcohol and the inability to quit drinking regardless of any adverse effects. Alcohol use disorder ensues when the chemical changes from long-term alcohol use drive the brain to acclimate to normal functions creating a dependency. Many people who struggle with alcoholism find it challenging to quit without the help of a treatment facility such as Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association. The alcoholism treatment at Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association in Anchorage, Anchorage, Alaska is designed to give you the support you need to quit drinking once and for all.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a physical and psychological dependency on drugs.

Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association in Anchorage, Alaska offers many treatment options for those struggling with drug addiction.

Dual Diagnosis
Several treatment options are available in Anchorage, Anchorage, Alaska to treat individuals with dual diagnoses. In addiction treatment, a dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorder or comorbidity, is when someone suffers from two or more disorders at the same time, such as a drug use disorder and depressive disorder.

Treatment of dual-diagnosis disorders at Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association in Anchorage, Anchorage, Alaska includes knowledgeable addiction treatment professionals providing effective services that treat the whole person and supports overall health and recovery.
Opioid Addiction
Opioids/opiates are among the most addictive substances worldwide. Prescribed for various medical needs, opioids encompass a large class of prescription drugs such as morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, and illegal substances such as heroin and opium. People who misuse opioids can develop an opioid addiction very quickly. Opioid addiction, also known as an opioid use disorder, is a condition in which someone compulsively seeks the drug.

Substance abuse problems can refer to illicit drugs — such as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine — or legal drugs, such as alcohol or prescription medications. Substances frequently abused in Anchorage, Anchorage, Alaska include alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates/opioids, hallucinogens, and more.
