Ketchikan Indian Community serves adolescents and teens struggling with substance abuse in Southeast Alaska through its Tribal Clinic Behavioral Health Department. Located at 2960 Tongass Avenue in Ketchikan, AK, this facility is dedicated to providing culturally responsive care to community members seeking recovery from alcohol and drug dependence. By combining comprehensive health services with specialized substance abuse treatment, Ketchikan Indian Community addresses both immediate treatment needs and long-term wellness for young people in the region.
Ketchikan Indian Community offers outpatient substance abuse treatment designed specifically for adolescents and teens. Outpatient care allows patients to receive structured therapy, counseling, and clinical support while maintaining their daily routines—attending school, staying connected with family, and fulfilling other responsibilities. This flexible approach is particularly valuable for young people who need professional treatment but benefit from remaining in their home environment and community. The facility's integration of health and behavioral health services means that patients receive comprehensive care addressing both physical health and the underlying causes of substance abuse.
Ketchikan Indian Community accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure treatment access is not limited by financial circumstances. The facility accepts Medicaid, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and self-payment options. Insurance coverage for substance abuse treatment is protected under the Mental Health Parity Act, which ensures that behavioral health services receive equal coverage to other medical services. If you have questions about your specific insurance plan or need help understanding your coverage, the admissions team can provide clear guidance at no cost.
Recovery is possible, and seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.
