About North Star Residential Debarr Campus

Near Anchorage, Alaska, the center provides residential treatment for girls who are dealing with significant mental health difficulties. It supports a range of challenges, including mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, and others. The program includes both short-term and longer-term services, delivered in a structured, supportive setting designed to promote healing, personal development, and recovery.

Therapeutic care is based on well-established approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EDMR), and biofeedback. The staff works individually with each girl to strengthen coping strategies, enhance emotional regulation, and encourage progress throughout treatment. The care team typically includes therapists, nurses, and educators who provide guidance with dignity and compassion.

Day-to-day life takes place in a calm, home-like environment with private and shared areas. Girls receive nutritious meals, join group sessions, and participate in therapeutic activities and school-related programs. A consistent daily schedule helps support recovery across all aspects of life—mental, physical, and emotional—while building lasting feelings of security, belonging, and care.
