About Ideal Option Anchorage
Operating across multiple sites in nine states, Ideal Option provides outpatient medication-assisted treatment for addiction to a range of substances. The team uses approved medications to support clients as they move away from alcohol or drugs, while also addressing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. At every appointment, clients undergo routine urine drug screening, allowing clinicians to refine and update treatment plans as needed.
For opioid addiction, Ideal Option follows a structured three-phase model: initiation, stabilization, and maintenance. In the initiation phase, clients switch from opioids to the medication(s) prescribed for their care. They participate in frequent daily check-ins and meet with a provider every few days. In stabilization, clients complete the transition away from opioids and remain consistent with their prescribed medications. After stability is reached, follow-up visits move to a weekly schedule or once every two weeks. In the final phase, clients meet with their provider monthly to discuss progress, cravings, and any additional needs. Many clients remain in the program for 12 months or more.
