Women and Children's Center for Inner Healing Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Women and Children's Center for Inner Healing is a women's recovery home in Fairbanks, Alaska, serving the Fairbanks North Star Borough. It supports pregnant and postpartum women together with their children through a medium-intensity residential program.

The program is aimed at long-term recovery rather than a short stabilizing stay, and it is run by a Native nonprofit serving Alaska Native, American Indian and other residents of the Interior.

What Keeping Children Settles In A Recovery Residence

Fear of losing custody keeps more mothers out of treatment than almost anything else, and pulls more of them out early. A residence that houses a woman with her children takes that fear off the table before recovery begins. In Interior Alaska, options that do this are very few.

Care At This Fairbanks Sober House

Residents receive counseling and case management alongside their housing, with services addressing the longer-term needs of recovery rather than only the acute phase. Support extends to pregnant and postpartum women whose care requirements sit outside a standard residential model.

Recovery Housing Rooted In Alaska Native Values

Native and tribal organizations carry a substantial share of Alaska's recovery housing. Cultural grounding here is part of the treatment, and it matters most for women whose recovery is bound up with family, identity and community.

A Recovery Home Inside A Wider System

Its operator also runs a coed residential program and adolescent services in Fairbanks, along with behavioral health outpatient care. A resident can move between levels without leaving the organization or the city.
