ALASKA THERAPEUTIC COURT ALUMNI

AKTCA

In an effort to sustain individuals’ growth, community, and accomplishments achieved while in the therapeutic courts, the Alaska Therapeutic Court Alumni (AKTCA) was formed by graduates in 2006. These graduates recognized that sobriety is an ongoing commitment to a lifestyle best supported within a community of accountability.

While graduation from a therapeutic court recognizes the completion of a rigorous 18 month treatment program, the alumni group offers an opportunity to commit to upholding past achievements within the program without the strict monitoring and structure previously provided. Graduation is only as successful as the maintenance of this progress and rehabilitation beyond the 18 months.

Since 2006, AKTCA continues to support graduates and participants through weekly peer support groups, monthly sober social activities, community outreach events, and advocacy efforts in Juneau, the state’s capitol. The group welcomes current court participants and graduates of all therapeutic courts in Anchorage, Palmer, Juneau, Fairbanks, Bethel, and Kenai.
