Mission: “The mission of The Salvation Army Clitheroe Center is to improve the quality of life for all Alaskans seeking treatment for substance abuse through culturally relevant evidence-based practices to contribute to lifetime recovery.”

Residential Programs Services: We provide 3 different residential treatment programs. We provide separate ASAM Level 3.5 Intensive treatment programs for men and women. We also provide  ASAM 3.1 Clinically Managed Low-Intensity Residential Services for men, which allows individuals to learn job skills while in a structured residential environment.  Each client has their own individual counselor/therapist. We provide a 24/7 structured program with staff supervision. There are daily group counseling/therapy groups and clients have weekly and as needed individual counseling/therapy with their counselor. Other specialized staff include Case Manager, Peer Support Recovery Coach, a Nurse, and a Benefits/Financial Coordinator. Secure and monitored medication self-administration is scheduled daily and as needed. We help each client to work with their own healthcare providers in the community for primary, psychiatric, and specialized medical care as needed. The length of treatment averages 3-4 months.

Clitheroe Treatment: Recovery, Trauma Focused and Individualized Treatment: What is Recovery - A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential (SAMHSA). Clitheroe provides evidence-based curriculums and programming to meet the strengths and needs of each person. Our unique approach is to individualize treatment by assisting you to identify your own underlying core issues, often related to trauma, that are a trigger for the use of alcohol and other drugs. We help you develop healthy wellness coping skills and a strong network of support through clean and sober friends and support groups such as AA/NA, Celebrating Recovery, Peer Support Groups, etc. Our goal is to help you start on life-long recovery.

Tobacco-Free: All Clitheroe Center campus Buildings and Property Are Tobacco Free. Clitheroe affirms that tobacco/nicotine is a serious addictive drug with similarity to heroin. Our goal is to assist clients to recover from all substance use disorders, including tobacco/nicotine.
