At Alaska Behavioral Health, a significant portion of our adult clients struggle with both mental illness and substance use. Our clinicians address substance use during therapy using evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT skills.
AKBH clinician Esther says she looks for the reasons behind the substance use. She tries to help clients change the way they think and give them the tools to change what they are doing.
Recovery is possible, and the right support team can make all the difference!

Did you know that 1 in 4 adults with a mental health condition also experiences a substance use disorder?
These co-occurring disorders are more common than many realize.
When depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions exist alongside substance use challenges, they often fuel each other in a difficult cycle.
Understanding this connection is the first step toward comprehensive healing.

As the year ends, gentle reminder: You don't need to have everything figured out by January 1st. No "new year, new you" pressure necessary.
Reflect if it helps. But also know that rest, healing, and simply surviving a difficult year are worth celebrating. Progress isn't always linear, and growth doesn't follow a calendar.
You're doing great already! 🌱
