About Us
Leonard and Henrietta Nugen founded Alaska Addiction Rehabilitation Services, Inc. (AARS) in 1982, making it one of Alaska’s oldest adult residential substance abuse treatment programs. AARS has been serving adults with substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring disorders for over 40 years.
Our treatment program combines twelve-step recovery, group and individual counseling, life skills training, and work therapy in a supportive environment. During their recovery at AARS, clients learn about farming and gain a sense of self-worth through work therapy and life skills training. Clients also learn occupational skills through AARS’ vocational education program. Before 2012, AARS was located on the Palmer-Wasilla Highway in Wasilla. AARS relocated its treatment program to Point Mackenzie in Wasilla, Alaska.
Our residential treatment facility and outpatient transitional housing are located on 116 acres of farmland. The property, home to AARS, is known as Nugen’s Ranch.
AARS’ mission is to provide client-centered quality residential treatment services to adults living with substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders from all regions of the State of Alaska.
