About Wildwood Alpha ReEntry Initiative – Kenai
Wildwood Alpha ReEntry Initiative provides mental health and addiction recovery services for justice-involved adolescents and adults in Kenai, Alaska, including specialized programming for young adults and persons with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. They offer comprehensive community re-entry programs in alcohol and/or drug treatment for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated persons.
Re-Entry Programs
Their re-entry programs are designed to decrease relapse and recidivism risk for justice-involved persons with substance use disorders (SUD). Clients receive medical and mental health assessments, personalized care plans, and complete case management. Transitional support begins during clients’ incarceration and includes intensive individual, group, and family counseling through telepsychiatry. Clients also engage in robust, recovery-focused life-skills training that addresses topics such as anger and stress management, communication, decision-making, cognitive restructuring, coping, self-care, medication management, and relapse prevention. Independent living skills are also prioritized, including academic and vocational training, financial education, and job readiness. Clients in alcohol and/or opioid recovery may enroll in their evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for longer-term pharmacotherapy.
Transitional Care
Clients leaving incarceration enjoy robust transitional support, including continuing addiction counseling and recovery education. Supportive housing, employment, and referrals for additional medical, mental health, and social services may be provided.
Payment
Wildwood Alpha ReEntry Initiative’s services are subsidized primarily through state and federal funding, grants, Medicare, and Medicaid. Program costs may also be offset through some commercial insurance providers, such as Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, and Humana.
