About our Program
Who we are
Raven's Way is a residential treatment program serving the youth of Alaska. Our nationally accredited program combines conventional substance abuse treatment, adventure-based therapy, and Native cultural activities.
Our approach
We focus on developing each youth's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strengths, as well as their communication and problem-solving skills. Graduates then have the tools to choose a healthy, substance-free lifestyle.
Program overview
Our 40-day program is based in Sitka and at wilderness sites in the Sitka area. It utilizes a cohort model, in which 8-10 students enter and participate in the program as a peer support group in a family-style environment.
