SeaView Community Services

It provides high-quality, accessible mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, including services for addiction to alcohol, opioids (such as heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers), and other drugs. The organization operates as a community mental health center with an integrated behavioral health approach, offering outpatient-focused care in a warm, supportive environment surrounded by Seward's scenic lakes and mountains.

SeaView delivers a continuum of services tailored to adults, adolescents, teens, children, and families, emphasizing evidence-based practices and holistic recovery. Key substance use treatment options include outpatient programs, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) (typically 3 evenings per week, e.g., Tuesday - Thursday 6 - 9 PM), partial hospitalization/day treatment (5 days per week, Monday - Friday 8 AM - 2 PM), and recovery housing (gender-specific apartments for up to 10 residents in downtown Seward, providing a structured, sober living environment with connections to employment, permanent housing, and long-term support). Treatment incorporates individual counseling, group therapy, family/couples counseling, relapse prevention, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), contingency management, anger management, brief intervention, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) elements like buprenorphine maintenance, naltrexone, and referrals for other MAT needs.

The facility addresses co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis) through trauma-informed care, supported by a multidisciplinary team including a psychiatrist, nurses, master's-level clinicians, social workers, case managers, and behavioral technicians. Additional supports include case management, supported employment, housing assistance, family psychoeducation, transportation help, and community resources to promote stability and reintegration. SeaView prioritizes accessibility for all, accepting Alaska Medicaid, Medicare, major private insurances (e.g., BlueCross BlueShield, Premera, Aetna, Cigna, TRICARE), military benefits, and self-pay options with benefit verification assistance.

With over 50 staff members and a strong community reputation (high trust scores and positive reviews), SeaView has been a cornerstone in Seward for combating behavioral health challenges, offering compassionate, non-judgmental care that empowers individuals to achieve sobriety, mental wellness, and fulfilling lives amid Alaska's unique environment.
