North Slope Borough Health Department

What the SAMHSA Record Shows About North Slope Borough Health Department

North Slope Borough Health Department is a substance use & mental health operated by Local, county, or community government in Barrow, Alaska. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 2000 Ahkovak Street, Barrow, AK 99723.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 1 substance or condition category treated (General substance use disorders), and 9 clinical treatment approaches (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Cognitive remediation therapy, Couples/family therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 4 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Seniors, Young adults) with 2 languages of care (American Indian or Alaska Native languages, Yupik). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms payment assistance, plus 2 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (IHS/Tribal/Urban (ITU) funds, Other State funds).

North Slope Borough Health Department reports 27 attributes across services, populations, payment, and language, in line with the Alaska statewide median of 33 (99 facilities listed).
