This February, we're recognizing Eating Disorder Awareness Month.
Eating disorders can affect anyone: all ages, races, and genders - and you can't tell by looking at someone if they have one. They can be serious, even fatal, but with treatment, full recovery is possible!
If you're worried about your relationship with food or eating habits, talk to your primary care provider or schedule a mental health assessment.

Recovery from co-occurring disorders looks different for everyone, and that's okay! For some, it means complete abstinence. For others, it means managing symptoms and reducing harm. What matters most is that you're moving toward health, safety, and wellbeing in whatever way works for you.
📈Progress isn't always linear—setbacks don't erase your progress, they're part of the journey.
🥳Celebrate the small victories: making it to an appointment, reaching out for help, learning a new coping skill, or simply getting through a difficult day. You deserve support, compassion, and the chance to heal on your own timeline.

Co-occurring disorders don't discriminate—they affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
The relationship between these conditions is complex: sometimes mental health symptoms lead to substance use, sometimes substance use triggers mental health challenges, and often they develop simultaneously. What's important to know is that effective, compassionate treatment exists, and recovery from both conditions is absolutely possible.

Congrats to our Fairbanks Mobile Crisis Team!
In 2025, they responded to 1319 calls, and were able to resolve 98.6% of them without EMS or law enforcement support. The team's peer support specialists completed 745 follow-ups!

Medication is an important part of treating co-occurring disorders, and it's okay to utilize this support.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anxiolytics, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders can be life-changing when combined with therapy and support. The key is working with a specialist who understands dual diagnosis and can carefully monitor how medications impact your recovery.
Medication isn't a weakness— it's a tool that helps you heal more quickly and effectively. Always discuss your full history with your provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.
