North Star’s facilities are comfortable, family-like surroundings designed to respond to the needs of active children and teens.
When a young person needs more intensive care, North Star’s locations in Southcentral Alaska provide a full range of services. Based on the seriousness of the situation, some children come to the hospital for intensive short-term treatment to begin the healing process then return home, while others need the stability of longer-term residential treatment program to learn the skills needed for emotional and social stability and security. |
