VOA Alaska Adolescent Residential Center for Help (ARCH), located at 8012 Stewart Mountain Drive in Eagle River, Alaska, provides specialized residential treatment for youth ages 12-18 who are struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. ARCH is designed to support adolescents in a structured, therapeutic environment that promotes healing, skill development, and personal growth. The center’s state-of-the-art facility includes residential wings, classrooms, a gym, and therapeutic spaces that foster a safe and nurturing environment for recovery.
ARCH offers comprehensive services, including individual, group, and family therapy, psychiatric services, psychological testing, withdrawal management, case management, and on-site schooling.
