Community Connections is an outpatient mental health treatment facility serving the Ketchikan, Alaska community and surrounding areas. Located at 721 Stedman Street in Ketchikan, AK, the facility provides compassionate, evidence-based mental health services designed to help individuals address substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions while maintaining their daily responsibilities. Community Connections understands that seeking treatment is a significant step, and the team is committed to making the recovery process accessible and supportive for all who walk through their doors.
Community Connections specializes in outpatient mental health treatment services, which allow individuals to receive professional care while living at home and maintaining work, school, or family commitments. Outpatient programs are ideal for those with mild to moderate substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, or individuals transitioning from a higher level of care. Through structured sessions, individual and group therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management when appropriate, patients gain the tools and support necessary to achieve sustained recovery. This flexible approach to treatment recognizes that recovery is personal and that many individuals thrive when they can integrate clinical care with their existing support systems and daily lives.
Community Connections accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure that financial circumstances do not prevent access to care. The facility accepts Medicaid, state-financed health insurance plans (other than Medicaid), private health insurance, military insurance (VA/TRICARE), and cash or self-payment. A sliding fee scale is also available, which adjusts fees based on income and other individual factors. Under the Mental Health Parity Act, most insurance plans are required to cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment at the same level as other medical conditions, meaning your mental health care should be covered similarly to physical health services.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use or mental health challenges, reaching out for help is the first step toward recovery. Call 907-225-7825 to speak with Community Connections directly, or contact a treatment specialist who can verify your insurance coverage, answer questions about the admission process, and help you begin your journey toward wellness. You deserve support, and Community Connections is here to help you take that courageous step forward.
