Who do we help?
We serve Alaska Natives and American Indian adults, 18 and older, who are facing opioid use disorder or stimulant use disorder in the FNSB.

We offer culturally appropriate adult outpatient services for opioid use disorder and stimulant use disorder to Alaska Natives and American Indians. Our services include peer support, weekly talking circles, and individual counseling sessions.
We also hold outreach events throughout the year.
