About

About Discovery Cove Recovery and

Discovery Cove Recovery and Wellness Center provides community-based outpatient addiction treatment in Eagle River, Alaska, just north of Anchorage. The center is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and focuses specifically on the developmental needs of adolescents and young adults aged 18 to 25, an age band that often falls through the gaps between pediatric behavioral health and adult addiction services.

Clinical services are organized around two outpatient levels of care: a standard outpatient program for clients who can integrate weekly sessions into school, work, and family routines, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for those who need a higher dose of group and individual therapy without stepping away from home. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the primary modality, used to help clients identify the thoughts and triggers that drive substance use and to build healthier coping skills they can practice between sessions.

Financial access is unusually flexible for a small Alaskan provider. Discovery Cove bills directly to Aetna, Cigna, First Choice, Magellan, Moda Health, MultiPlan, Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, UMR, United Behavioral Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Value Options, and the program is contracted with TRICARE, TriWest, and the VA Choices Program for active-duty members, veterans, and military families stationed at JBER. Self-pay clients can use cash or personal check.

The office is located on Business Boulevard in Eagle River with a main line at (907) 694-5550. Prospective clients can reach the intake team by phone or email to verify benefits and schedule an initial assessment. Because the program is youth-focused, parents and legal guardians are typically involved in the referral and admissions process.

  • COA-accredited program built specifically for adolescents and young adults (18-25)
  • Direct billing to 14+ commercial insurers, TRICARE, TriWest, and VA Choices
  • CBT-driven outpatient and intensive outpatient levels of care

Outpatient Care for Teens and Young Adults

Adolescents and young adults respond to substance use treatment differently than older adults. Discovery Cove structures its outpatient and IOP groups around peers in the same developmental stage, addressing school, family, identity, and early-career stressors alongside substance use itself.

Insurance and Military Coverage

Discovery Cove maintains direct billing relationships with most major commercial insurers operating in Alaska and is contracted with TRICARE, TriWest, and the VA Choices Program. Families stationed at JBER or connected to the VA can typically access care without out-of-network paperwork.

CBT-Based Clinical Approach

Cognitive behavioral therapy is delivered in both individual and group settings. Clients learn to map the thoughts, situations, and emotions that drive substance use and to rehearse alternative responses they can use in real life between sessions.
