Gastineau Human Services

OAS focuses on the whole person, addressing multiple issues surrounding substance abuse. Following a screening and assessment process, each client works with his or her counselor to develop a treatment plan designed to meet the individual at his or her own level of readiness.

 

Support services available to clients include White Bison, Wellbriety, Talking Circle, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Anger Management, and Victim Impact classes. The OAS program also provides Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) services for Juneau Therapeutic Court referrals and other outpatient clients. We also offer sober recreation and social activities, including a new music program beginning in the summer of 2006.

 

The OAS program staff strives to provide treatment that is respectful, gender and culture sensitive, strength-based, and responsive to the special needs of clients with mental health diagnosis, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
