About Southcentral Foundation Four Directions Trt Ctr IOP

Southcentral Foundation Detox in Anchorage, Alaska offers outpatient and intensive outpatient programs for Alaska residents seeking structured support in withdrawal management and early recovery. Open seven days a week, the program serves a wide range of populations — from veterans and young adults to pregnant women and seniors — and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance.

Southcentral Foundation Detox is an outpatient clinic located at 4000 Laurel Street in Anchorage, Alaska, operating under the Southcentral Foundation health system. The program is designed as a self-referral withdrawal management and recovery support service open to all Alaska residents ages 18 and older. CARF-accredited and embedded within a primary care-connected model, SCF Detox positions itself as a starting point for a broader recovery journey — not just a single episode of care.

The facility offers two levels of outpatient care: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Both are available seven days a week, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, giving individuals and families the scheduling flexibility that residential programs cannot provide. With a capacity of 14, the program maintains a smaller, more focused environment for people working through early recovery while remaining connected to their communities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the clinical approach at Southcentral Foundation Detox. The program also addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside trauma and PTSD — recognizing that substance use rarely exists in isolation. This dual-focus lens makes the program relevant not only to those in early recovery but also to people managing long-term mental health needs alongside their substance abuse treatment.

Southcentral Foundation Detox is notably inclusive in the populations it serves, with programming available to veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, people living with HIV/AIDS, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those referred through the court system. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay, and a sliding scale fee structure — making recovery accessible across income levels throughout Alaska.

Outpatient Recovery Support in Anchorage, Alaska

Southcentral Foundation Detox offers Alaska residents ages 18 and older a structured outpatient path through withdrawal management and into sustained recovery. As a self-referral program, individuals do not need a physician's order or external referral to get started — a meaningful distinction for people who are ready to take that first step on their own terms.

The program operates seven days a week with extended hours, making it one of the more accessible outpatient recovery options in the Anchorage area. With a CARF accreditation backing the quality of its services, SCF Detox sits within the Southcentral Foundation's broader care network, connecting outpatient substance abuse treatment to the kind of long-term health support that sustained recovery often requires.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

For individuals who need more structured support than a standard outpatient program provides, Southcentral Foundation Detox offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This level of care allows participants to engage in a more rigorous treatment schedule while maintaining their daily responsibilities — a balance that is especially important for parents, employed individuals, and those with community ties they want to preserve during recovery.

The program specifically addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that trauma and PTSD frequently intersect with substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides the clinical framework for working through these layered challenges, giving participants practical tools they can carry into long-term recovery.

Who Southcentral Foundation Detox Serves

SCF Detox serves one of the broadest cross-sections of any outpatient program in Alaska. Veterans and active-duty families can access care through TRICARE coverage. Pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, and seniors each find a place within the program's scope. Individuals navigating the court system through court-ordered treatment are also welcome, as are those living with HIV/AIDS and people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

This breadth is not incidental — it reflects a program philosophy rooted in the idea that recovery looks different for every person and that community-based outpatient treatment should be as accessible as possible. The sliding scale payment option and acceptance of Medicaid and Medicare further lower the threshold for Alaskans across income levels to pursue the substance abuse treatment they need.

Payment and Insurance Options at SCF Detox

Southcentral Foundation Detox accepts a wide range of payment methods to ensure that financial circumstances do not stand in the way of recovery. Accepted coverage includes Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance. For those without insurance, self-pay and sliding scale options are available based on individual circumstances.

Individuals interested in starting care can reach the program directly at (907) 729-6690 or via email at [email protected]. Because this is a self-referral program, reaching out directly is all it takes to begin the intake process.
