Outpatient Services: Nat’uh Pathway to Recovery
For those seeking flexibility while engaging in treatment, the Nat’uh Outpatient program, located at 3600 San Jeronimo Drive in Anchorage, AK, provides essential support without requiring residential stay.

This collaborative process ensures the creation of a personalized recovery plan tailored to individual circumstances and goals.
Key components of the recovery journey offered through CITC include:
- Peer Support and Navigation Services
