Behavioral Health Services
Comprehensive behavioral health services are available at two locations: the Fireweed building and the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center.
Behavioral Health in the Anchorage Native Primary Care Center provides a wide range of group and individual therapies to adult beneficiaries. Available services include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychology, neuropsychology and Naltrexone services.
This clinic also provides urgent response services for psychiatric emergencies and psychological crisis. The professional staff also provides consultation/liaison services to the Alaska Native Medical Center inpatient units and primary care clinics. This provider to provider service helps expedite the provision of quality care by the primary treatment team.
Behavioral Health Fireweed is a community mental health center, which offers a culturally based, customer-centered model of care by combining the strength of traditional beliefs with contemporary clinical practices.
We provide screening, assessment and outpatient individual, group, family and play therapy as well as psychiatric and medication management where needed.
Behavioral Health Fireweed has three specialized programs: TRAILS, FASD and Pediatric Neuropsychological Services.
Teens Responsibly Accepting Individual Life Skills (TRAILS) is a rehabilitation service for severely emotionally disturbed adolescents. The primary treatment modality is group skill development that involves face to face therapeutic skill instruction, skill practice and skill monitoring. The TRAILS program is designed to develop or improve specific self-care, self-direction, communication and social interaction skills necessary for successful community adjustment and interaction with people in the customer's home, school, work or community environment.
The Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Clinic provides diagnostic, support and referral services for children prenatally exposed to alcohol.
Pediatric Neuropsychological Services evaluates a child's functioning by assessing areas such as memory, attention, perception, coordination, language and personality.
We serve Alaska Native and non-Native children, adolescents, adults and families.
