Clitheroe Center Opens Specialized Treatment Unit

Program Serves Chronically Addicted Men & Women

The Salvation Army Clitheroe Center has a long tradition of providing affordable, professional treatment services to impact one of Alaska's most extensive-and expensive- community health issues, substance abuse.

For the past two years, Salvation Army officials have worked with Senator Johnny Ellis and other state and municipal officials to secure funding to implement a new program to provide a supportive environment where men and women who are labeled, for lack of better words, chronic inebriates. The program will open with four detox beds and another eight dedicated for long-term treatment.

"While the program operates under AS 47.30.730, which provides for the involuntary commitment of individuals into treatment, the program is not intended as a punitive measure," said Robert Heffle, Executive Director at Clitheroe Center. "The STU program has been developed to engage those who are resistant to treatment due to their advanced addiction, and who are at risk of harm, to make healthier choices regarding the direction of their lives."

While the program is not intended to be the only solution to such a significant issue, The Salvation Army believes its a part of the solution for such a pervasive problem in Alaska.

If you have questions about the STU program or any of Clitheroe's residential or outpatient treatment services, please call 276-2898.

Our Program

The Salvation Army Clitheroe Center is a comprehensive substance abuse and dual diagnosis treatment program. We provide professional and affordable treatment services to adults who are addicted to alcohol and other drugs. Programs at Clitheroe include a detox unit and residential services for men and women including a dual-diagnosis treatment program for individuals with mental health issues and assessments. The Clitheroe Center also provides family services. Outpatient services provide counseling and support for those who would benefit from or have completed inpatient treatment or are not in need of inpatient treatment.

Personalized programs of recovery offer clients and their families the opportunity to access services in a residential or outpatient setting. Programs include:

· Individual assessments

· Residential programs for men and women

· Outpatient counseling

· Continuing care groups

· Family support groups

We believe that clients who invest in their treatment program increase their chance for a successful outcome. We are able to accept most insurance plans, Medicaid, personal checks, MC, VISA, Discover Card and in certain cases, vouchers from other agencies.

The Salvation Army Clitheroe Center is licensed and funded, in part, through grants from the State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services Division of Behavioral Health. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

Our staff is a multi-disciplinary team consisting of a combination of degreed professionals, state-certified substance abuse counselors, with many years of experience in recovery. Clitheroe staff also work within the corrections system to provide substance abuse counseling for inmates in Anchorage area correctional facilities.
