About Colonel Mary Louise Rasmuson Campus of the Alaska VA Healthcare System
Colonel Mary Louise Rasmuson Campus of the Alaska VA Healthcare System is an addiction treatment center in Anchorage, Alaska. The campus serves veterans, and it was formerly called the Anchorage VA Medical Center. Residential substance use treatment is part of the care at this Anchorage location.
Residential Care in Anchorage
The substance use disorder residential program at Rasmuson Campus includes cognitive behavioral therapy, a talk therapy focused on thoughts and behavior. That residential program prescribes medication for alcohol use, opioid use and tobacco use when it’s appropriate.
The residential program gives veterans access to Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery. Those groups meet at the campus or away from it. Residential care means you stay overnight instead of going home each evening.
The campus also offers Compensated Work Therapy-Transitional Residence. Homeless Veteran care helps veterans with no housing and veterans who may lose it.
Telehealth Across Alaska
Telehealth at the Alaska VA lets a veteran connect with providers from home, from a local community clinic or from another place they choose. You can reach providers elsewhere in Alaska or outside the state, and you don’t have to travel to Anchorage for that visit.
Monday hours run from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Levels of care
- Detox
- When someone in Alaska stops drinking after heavy use, withdrawal can turn dangerous without support.
- Inpatient / residential
- Inpatient treatment gives a person distance from the everyday triggers and stress that can make recovery harder at home.
- Outpatient
- When you choose outpatient care, the week brings scheduled sessions and leaves plenty of time for the rest of daily life.
- Aftercare support
- Sessions often invite family members to take part, so the people at home understand how to offer steady support. This kind of family involvement works well for anyone building a new routine in Alaska.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Counseling here covers addiction alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and OCD. Grief and anger get the same support.
- Sober living
- After inpatient care, a sober living home offers shared housing without alcohol or drugs while daily life finds a new rhythm.
