Copper Center, AK Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centers

A quintessential Alaskan town, Copper Center is near the Klutina and Copper Rivers. Copper Center drug rehab offers recovery resources for people with substance use disorder (SUD). Thousands of people across the state experience SUD, a disorder that affects a person’s brain, resulting in their inability to control their use of substances which leads to damage in their relationships, work, and health. Few people can recover from SUD independently, but there is help through Alaska drug treatment options. SUD is a relapsing disorder which means that treatment needs to be consistent and long-term. Treatment should include creating a strategy for dealing with potential relapse developed with the help of professionals. Relapse is often stigmatized as a failure of the person with SUD but should be seen as a possible part of the recovery process. Relapse gives people a chance to reassess their recovery and should be seen as an opportunity to make changes and build on the strengths a person has gained in the recovery process. As a chronic disorder, SUD is seen as incurable, but it does respond well to treatment, and people can live fulfilling lives without the use of substances in recovery. People with SUD in recovery may compare recovery to getting a second chance at life, a chance to experience improvement in all aspects of their lives.
