vets get help in the valley
Hope Valley Health and Wellness opens April 20 in Wasilla with residential addiction treatment for veterans and first responders.
Daily Alaska staff · April 27, 2026
Alaska veterans needing serious addiction and trauma treatment have had to fly to the Lower 48 to get it, and that's about to change. Hope Valley Health and Wellness launches April 20 in Wasilla with residential care, detox, and long-term recovery support built specifically for veterans and first responders.
The program is designed to treat the trauma underneath the substance use, not just the symptoms on the surface. Residents move through detox, then into residential care, and get connected to sober living and ongoing support on the other end.
The Mat-Su has one of the largest veteran populations in the state, with families connected to military bases spread across Palmer, Wasilla, and Big Lake.
