About Alaska Psychiatric Institute
This state-run psychiatric hospital in Anchorage supports Alaskans through compassionate care grounded in safety, integrity, and hope. Operating under Alaska Department of Family and Community Services, it provides inpatient and outpatient mental health services for adolescents and adults, including those who require forensic care or long-term treatment. With a capacity of up to 80 beds, the facility addresses acute psychiatric needs through structured programs that promote stabilization, recovery, and independence.
Guided by Science, Driven by Care
Clinicians use evidence-based therapies such as diagnostic evaluations, family and group therapy, and individual psychotherapy sessions ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. Services include interactive treatment planning, psychiatric assessments with or without medical support, and follow-up care. Staff embrace lifelong learning and strive for excellence, fostering a responsive and judgment-free environment where patients develop coping skills and build resilience.
Comfort That Meets Compassion
Clients live in one of three secure units—adolescent, forensic, or adult—based on therapeutic needs and safety considerations. Room arrangements vary to meet individual circumstances. Staff manage meals and transportation for outpatient participants when needed. Availability may shift due to factors like gender mix or the need for one-on-one care, but the focus remains on maintaining a structured, supportive setting that encourages healing and personal growth.
