Chanlyut Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Chanlyut is a men's recovery residence on Mountain View Drive in Anchorage, Alaska, inside the Municipality of Anchorage. The name is Dena'ina for new beginnings, and it is pronounced shawn-loot.

This is a 14-bed short-term residential program for adult men, with an average stay of about twelve weeks. It has a long-standing reputation in Anchorage for re-entry support, and residents work on housing, job training, life skills and recovery support while they are here.

What This Men's Sober Living Home Offers

The program combines counseling and peer recovery support with practical vocational and educational work. Rather than treating housing and employment as separate problems solved in sequence, it works on both while a resident is under the same roof.

Alaska Native Culture In This Recovery Home

Services here are grounded in Alaska Native values. Residents eat traditional Alaska Native foods and take part in harvesting berries, salmon and hooligan. Those activities carry real weight for people whose recovery is tied to cultural connection, and they are available to residents from any background.

A Recovery Residence In Mountain View

Mountain View is one of Anchorage's most diverse neighborhoods and sits close to the city center. Residents are near transit, employers and the outpatient providers concentrated in Anchorage, which shortens the distance between leaving the house and getting to whatever comes next.

Re-Entry Support At This Anchorage Sober House

Its operator works directly with the Department of Corrections, community residential centers and treatment providers. For men leaving incarceration with a substance use history, that coordination is often the difference between a plan and a discharge date.

Municipality Of Anchorage Recovery Housing And Length Of Stay

Twelve weeks is short by recovery housing standards, and the program is designed as a stage rather than a destination. Staff plan the next placement while a resident is still here, which matters in a state where the next bed can be hundreds of miles away.
