Alaska Addiction Hotlines

America has a severe addiction problem, and Alaska is no exception. Substance abuse is among the top health concerns in the state. This year, nearly 20% of residents (19.76%) reported illicit drug use sometime during the last month, per the CDC. A total of 260 residents died from overdoses in 2021 alone. That’s a big number for a state with a low population.

Unfortunately, addiction is a major issue in Alaska. Fortunately, there is help. Below are three completely free resources for help with substance abuse, available to all residents of the Last Frontier. Addiction is a disease, and the cure begins with helping yourself.
