Recovery for All
About Us
We empower you to find your unique pathway to recovery.
They say you can’t know someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. At True North, we’ve logged thousands of miles. We can truly say we’ve been where you are right now. Lived experience is at the center of our philosophy.
Why True North?
We’re dedicated and experienced.
For the past decade, True North has helped Alaskans find their pathway to recovery. We provide nearly 80% of all peer support services in the state of Alaska and maintain the highest certifications in the industry.
We’ve been there.
Over 20% of our staff are graduates from True North and over 90% of our staff are in active recovery. We’ve started where you are and have the tools and experience to get you where you want to go. If you want to be surrounded by others who have done what might feel impossible right now, you’re in the right place.
