About Akeela Gateway Center for Human Services

The Akeela center in Ketchikan, Alaska, offers outpatient care for adults experiencing substance use or mental health challenges. Treatment includes 12 to 18 weeks of group and individual counseling focused on building coping skills and preventing relapse.
