Akeela Inc is a private nonprofit behavioral health organization that provides substance use and mental health services in Alaska. Established in 1974, the organization operates programs primarily in Anchorage while serving individuals from across the state. Services include outpatient and residential treatment for substance use disorders, along with mental health support and assessment services. Programs are available for men and women, with specific services developed for women and families.
Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, sits between mountain ranges and coastal waters, offering long winters, mild summers, and access to outdoor environments common throughout the region. The city functions as a central hub for healthcare and community services, allowing residents and visiting clients to access treatment resources while remaining connected to urban amenities.
Akeela provides a continuum of care that includes outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient services, and residential treatment programs. Counseling may include individual, group, and family sessions focused on relapse prevention and behavioral health support. Some residential programs allow mothers to live with their children during treatment. The organization also offers assessments to help determine appropriate levels of care and operates additional programs in other Alaska communities, including alcohol safety services connected to court or compliance requirements.
