About Wisdom Traditions Counseling Services
Wisdom Traditions Counseling Services is a CARF-accredited residential and outpatient treatment facility located at 401 West International Airport Road in Anchorage, Alaska. Voted Best Counseling Center in Alaska for 2023, the center provides medically supervised detox and structured outpatient care for adults in the Anchorage area dealing with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. For individuals or families making urgent decisions about withdrawal management, this facility offers a defined clinical continuum under one roof.
The center’s levels of care include Medical Detox, a standard Outpatient Program, and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Medical detox is the entry point for individuals who require supervised withdrawal management before transitioning into less intensive levels of care. The IOP provides a higher-frequency outpatient structure for those who need more support than a standard outpatient schedule allows, while the outpatient program supports ongoing treatment following detox or higher levels of care.
Wisdom Traditions integrates psychiatric services, primary care services, medication management, and behavioral health under one clinical umbrella. The center’s approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy, and mind-body methods alongside medication management. Conditions treated include substance use disorders, trauma and PTSD, co-occurring disorders, and mental health diagnoses — reflecting a dual-diagnosis capable program that addresses both addiction and psychiatric needs simultaneously.
The center serves men, women, veterans, young adults aged 18 to 25, and individuals referred through the court system. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance — including BC/BS, Federal BC/BS, Beech Street, and First Choice — as well as self-pay. A continuing care program supports clients after they complete primary treatment. The patient portal and dedicated insurance billing support are designed to reduce administrative barriers for people navigating the system during a difficult time.
