Mission
Rise Above Recovery provides accessible, person centered behavioral health and substance use services through secure telehealth and community based supports across Alaska. We remove barriers for individuals in rural and remote communities and support clients navigating the justice system—including DOC, courts, probation, and parole. Our mission is to combine lived experience, highly trained mental health professionals, and evidence based best practices to promote recovery, accountability, and long term stability. We partner with families, communities, and justice agencies to help every person build a healthier, safer, and more meaningful life.
Philosophy
Rise Above Recovery believes every person has the capacity for change when provided with the right tools, support, and accountability. We honor the strengths and lived experiences of our clients and our team, recognizing that many Alaskans face complex challenges including trauma, addiction, rural isolation, and justice involvement. Our approach is trauma informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence based best practices for substance use and mental health treatment, delivered by highly trained clinicians and peer professionals through secure telehealth and community partnerships. We work collaboratively with families, rural communities, and justice agencies to help clients meet requirements, rebuild trust, and create a future stronger than their past.
Vision
A healthier Alaska where individuals, families, and communities thrive through recovery, accountability, and compassionate support—no matter where they live or what challenges they face. We envision a statewide continuum of care that reaches rural and remote communities through telehealth, supports reentry and public safety, and empowers people to rise above addiction, trauma, and justice involvement through the combined strength of lived experience and highly trained mental health professionals using evidence based approaches.
