Veteran-Focused Recovery
Addiction Treatment for Veterans & Active-Duty Service Members in Alaska
/Substance use disorders among Veterans and active-duty service members are deeply intertwined with the experiences of military service – combat exposure, moral injury, chronic pain, military sexual trauma, and the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life. At Hope Valley Health & Wellness, we provide comprehensive, trauma-informed addiction treatment built specifically for those who have served.
Located on 2 private acres in Wasilla, Alaska, our gender-separate residential homes offer a safe, structured environment where Veterans and service members can begin genuine healing. We accept TRICARE and TriWest, and every aspect of our program – from clinical staff to therapeutic approach – reflects an understanding of military culture and the invisible wounds it can leave behind.

Understanding Substance Use Among Veterans & Service Members
Veterans are at significantly elevated risk for substance use disorders compared to the general population. Alcohol misuse, opioid dependence, and stimulant use are common responses to untreated PTSD, chronic pain, depression, and the isolation that can follow separation from service. Many Veterans also experience co-occurring disorders — where mental health conditions and substance use exist simultaneously – making specialized, integrated treatment essential.
At Hope Valley, we recognize that addiction is not a moral failing – it is a complex, chronic condition that requires a compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based response. Recovery requires more than willpower; it requires the right environment, the right clinical team, and a program that truly understands your experience.

Starting Your Journey
What to Expect at Hope Valley’s Addiction Treatment Program
No two paths to recovery are the same - and no two Veterans carry identical experiences. Our licensed clinical team designs individualized treatment plans that account for each client's unique service history, trauma background, substance use patterns, co-occurring mental health diagnoses, and personal goals. This tailored approach improves engagement, retention, and long-term outcomes.
For Veterans and service members struggling with opioid or alcohol dependence, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) can be a critical component of recovery. MAT combines FDA-approved medications - such as Suboxone, Sublocade, or Naltrexone (Vivitrol) - with counseling and behavioral therapies to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, and support sustained sobriety. At Hope Valley, MAT is always integrated into a broader individualized treatment plan, never used in isolation.
The majority of Veterans entering addiction treatment also carry a diagnosable mental health condition - most commonly PTSD, depression, anxiety, or TBI-related challenges. Hope Valley specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance use and mental health simultaneously through an integrated clinical approach. Treating only one condition while ignoring the other dramatically increases the risk of relapse - we ensure both are treated from day one.
At Hope Valley, our therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities proven effective for Veterans and trauma survivors. Our core therapies include:
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
- Seeking Safety
- Helping Men Recover / Helping Women Recover
- Contingency Management
- Individual and group therapy
- Weekly holistic wellness activities through our Battle Dawgs partnership
Hope Valley is proud to partner with Battle Dawgs, a Veterans wellness program that immerses our clients in holistic healing activities on a weekly basis. These experiential sessions complement clinical treatment by building connection, purpose, and physical wellbeing - elements that are essential to lasting recovery for Veterans and service members. Visit the Battle Dawgs website to learn more about the full range of wellness services they offer.
Recovery extends well beyond the walls of treatment. Hope Valley's alumni program supports long-term sobriety through peer connection, community engagement, and a workforce development component designed specifically to help Veterans and service members reintegrate into meaningful careers and civilian life. We believe purpose and employment are central to sustained recovery, and we build that foundation during treatment.
