Overview
Mission
Fairbanks is a nonprofit organization focused on recovery from alcohol and other drug problems, serving as a resource to improve the well-being of individuals, families and communities by offering hope and support through its programs and services.
What it reported doing in 2024
Adult outpatient services program consisting of partial hospitalization (php) and intensive outpatient program (iop). The php program is six to seven hours per day monday through friday and is a multi-disciplinary and group oriented treatment program. The program contains evaluation and education. It allows the patient to experience life on the "outside" while being involved in a very intense level of treatment. For the current year, the hospital had 2,598 php visits.iop is available to those whose addiction is not so severe as to require inpatient or php services. The patients must demonstrate the ability to remain drug-free during the entire treatment course and indicate a willingness to become involved in a 12-step program. Iop patients generally meet for three hours, three times per week. Iop offers education and group therapy. For the current year, the hospital had 11,241 visits.level 1 outpatient - in alignment with the american society for addiction medicine (asam), fairbanks considers patients whose severity of substance use is mild and causes minimal interruption in their functioning as being best suited for level 1 op services. These individuals may present with mild, co-occurring substance abuse and mental health and/or physical health conditions. They may already be receiving services for these other co-occuring conditions, but need more education, support and treatment for issues related to their substance use. Additionally, level 1 may be appropriate for individuals who are not interested in recovery, but are mandated into treatment. They may or may not have completed an education course, but appear to need more than just education as indicated by their use or service history. Individuals who need more than just education to enhance their motivation or to create ambivalence may also benefit from this level of care. At the same time, individuals who are in early recovery and view treatment as potentially helpful and are entering treatment for the first time will benefit from level 1. Patients in this level of care may be receiving medication assisted treatment (mat) services and/or other therapies due to their substance use including patients who need a step down from iop whom the treatment team finds have continued therapeutic needs beyond the support of an aftercare program. For the current year, the hospital had 2,589 adult level 1 visits.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
