About Anonymous Health - Alaska
Anonymous Health - Alaska provides virtual, outpatient addiction recovery services, treating both substance use disorders and compulsive behaviors. Their approach is private and confidential, keeping clients’ treatment between their doctor and insurance company. They combine effective evidence-based treatments with innovative technology to deliver personalized care. Anonymous Health offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT), individual and group therapy, and support through their dedicated mobile app, making addiction treatment both empowering and convenient. Of the 100s of millions of people who struggle with an unwanted habit or addiction, only a small fraction - just 7% - receive help. At Anonymous Health, we don’t think that’s okay.
"We are excited to help address long-standing capacity and access challenges of addiction care in Alaska," said Medical Director, Dr. Palani Chidambaram. "Our evidence-based teletherapy model uniquely combines whole-person addiction care therapies and is well-suited to adding much-needed counselors and medical providers in Alaska, where 1 in 6 U.S. adults struggles to manage a substance use disorder."
Giving Tools to Fight Back
Anonymous Health is dedicated to empowering individuals to reclaim their lives from addiction and compulsive behaviors. By merging cutting-edge technology with evidence-based treatments, they offer a dynamic mobile app that provides teletherapy counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Their mission is to equip clients with the tools needed to develop healthier habits, effectively manage addictions, and achieve lasting recovery. With continuous support and personalized care, Anonymous Health offers accessible and comprehensive treatment for all users.
Community and Peer Support
Anonymous Health fosters community and peer support through online group therapy sessions that connect clients with peers who share similar challenges. The app provides a platform for continuous interaction, support, and encouragement, helping individuals build a strong recovery network. This sense of community is crucial for long-term recovery, as it offers emotional support, shared experiences, and accountability. By integrating these elements, Anonymous Health offers a supportive space so clients are never alone in their recovery journeys.
Tailored Treatment Programs for Each Client
While Anonymous Health offers solely virtual treatment programs, each program is tailored towards the various addictions of each client, including alcohol, opioids, shopping, pornography, gambling, and more. Their programs include one-on-one teletherapy and group therapy sessions using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices that help clients overcome addictions and develop healthier habits. Anonymous Health’s treatment plans can help to overcome co-occurring conditions, in particular, depressive symptoms that are often common in individuals with addiction.
