Recovery isn’t only a process of understanding and working through past trauma and triggers — it’s also a journey of rediscovery. It’s about reigniting passions that may have been dimmed or forgotten, and about creating new ones that bring meaning, joy, and strength. At Anchorage Recovery Center, our role is to provide the guidance, tools, and compassionate space where those sparks can catch fire — or where existing flames can be fanned into something brighter.

Each day we are humbled and uplifted to watch people transform: building healthier lives, stepping into their potential, and reclaiming pieces of themselves that were once lost. One of the most powerful ways that transformation shows itself is through art. Each piece carries a story of struggle, courage, and rebuilding. Art can be a bridge between pain and hope, a visible testament that healing is possible.

We want to celebrate those journeys. Check out the beautiful artwork shared by our clients.
If you have artwork you created during your recovery — whether it was made in early days or more recently — please share it here. Tell us a little about what it means to you if you’d like. Your creativity can encourage someone else who’s still finding their way, and together we can honor the resilience and beauty of recovery.

We’re grateful to support an incredible organization like Battle Dawgs, which is making a genuine difference for veterans on the ground. They take veterans on a healing journey, starting with the beauty of outdoor adventures and nature-based therapies. It’s about finding peace and resetting through holistic healing and unwavering support. Veterans here rebuild their lives by learning new skills and forming strong bonds of camaraderie. Ultimately, they refocus on leadership and community, empowering all to thrive. Thank you for all you do to uplift our warriors when they return home.

Day 2 of our 2nd August Warrior Camp was focused on Modalities!

Warriors were introduced to our wellness center and all of the different types of therapies we offer.

Our volunteer clinical team came out and supported the day with Reiki therapy, Massage therapy, Accelerated Resolution therapy, Vegas nerve stimulation, red light therapy, sauna therapy, cold plunge, Cognitive behavioral therapy. And of course our favorite campfire therapy.

Can not thank Anchorage Recovery Center, Missy and Doris enough for coming out to support this amazing Day of Healing!

Join us on the Purple Trail! We're offering a calm spot to hang out and learn about recovery resources for civilians, veterans, and active duty military. Enjoy raffles, games, and family fun! Take a spin on the Jeopardy wheel for a chance to win or experience some of the dangers of drinking and try your hand at the Drunk Putter Challenge (no alcohol involved 😂). Don't forget to ask about our Random Act of Kindness Experiment.

Share this post and let’s see how much support we can get this year!

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you there!

What a great day at the Side-by-Side Peer Support BBQ! We came together for fellowship, food, and fun — complete with resources, delicious cheeseburgers, putt-putt, and co****le.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made the gathering worthwhile, and extra gratitude to all who put their time and energy into making this happen. Can’t wait for the next one!

🎉 Happy Recovery Birthday and Congratulations, Amber! 🎉

Today, we at the Anchorage Recovery Center want to take a moment to celebrate you. Your role as a Behavioral Health Technician here is invaluable, but that title barely scratches the surface of who you truly are. Today, you mark an incredible milestone: nine years of recovery from mind-altering substances.

Amber, you are a shining example of resilience and hope, both at work and within the community. Your journey is an inspiration to everyone around you, and your dedication to sharing your experiences and hope uplifts and motivates others on their own paths of recovery.

Thank you for being a beacon of strength and positivity every single day. Congratulations on reaching nine years of recovery, and here’s to many more years of growth, success, and impact.

With gratitude and admiration,
The Anchorage Recovery Center Team

🚗 Choose Safety First: If you’re planning to indulge in festivities, designate a sober driver, call a cab, or use rideshare services like Uber or Lyft. Your safety and the safety of others on the road is our top priority.

🎉 Celebrate Responsibly: Enjoy the day, but please do so responsibly. Let’s make this Fourth of July a memorable and safe holiday for everyone.

Thank you for being a part of our community. We’re proud to support each and every one of you in your journey to recovery and wellness.
