Chris Kyle Patriots Hospital - Anchorage, Alaska

Scott Brones

I’m ever so grateful for the Chris Kyle Patriots Hospital (CKPH), which serves our country’s women and men in uniform/First Responders, past and present. Speaking from experience, if you ever need support for mental health, substance issues, counseling, look no further. The Doctors, Therapists, Nurses, and Mental Health Specialists are ALL top tier. Please, if you’re suffering or notice your family members who’ve served are struggling, Chris Kyle Patriots Hospital is the perfect solution. CKPH strives to maintain every Active Duty/Veteran or First Responders privacy and anonymity. CKPH is here, and this agency’s goal is to provide a wholistic/full panel evaluation dedicated to pinpointing and correcting a wide array of issues. Thank you for your time and care, Chris Kyle ?.

I cannot say enough good things about this place it’s a lifesaver for veterans, active duty and their spouses struggling with substance abuse and mental health. The staff here is so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and the chef is very friendly lady as well. If they are not able to get you the help you need which is unlikely then they will be able to find other treatment centers that can help you.

I have struggled with PTSD, Polytrauma, TBI, and over 25 surgeries from my military and paramilitary service. A large portion of my life has been spent in the US Air Force, US Army and a several alphabet agencies including DAC DCMA and the SAC formerly the SAD of the National Clandestine Service. The majority of my career was supported under title 50 something most people dont know exists. It is the NRO NSA CIA and NGA all in one for both intelligence and clandestine covert operations. I served in the ground branch air branch sea branch and special programs branch and have been wounded and suffered various injuries and illness as a result of my service. I can now speak freely about the things done for the sake of our freedoms partially to relieve my guilt and mostly to heal myself and deal with grief for the others who did not survive and got a star on the wall or were misled about where and how there loved one in the military died.

Because Kris Kyle Staff understand the sacrifices made by people in and out of uniform in service to there country mostly by first hand experience, I now have a team effort for healing that is as strong as the collaborative effort and need for covert operations. Truth is very important in my healing process and I was trained and instructed to not disclose the nature or specifics about my job to the point of enforcement by death for some violations. Angie, Chris, Josh, Jared and others have served directly and assisted by listening and not labeling my story as crazy something a few civilian providers have done mostly due to lack of understanding or collusion with adversaries to the role and mission of the clandestine service. I myself am also a USC MSW trained clinician who can diagnose and treat mental illness and have found my education and experience helpful but have not been able to heal myself despite multiple attempts. I turned to alcohol and other substances to cope making bad situations worse. The insight into my injuries and ailments by staff is remarkable and I hope for ongoing healing and the ability to be compassionate for myself something I have neglected for a very long time.

I hope I will be able to transition to a PHP/IOP with Kris Kyle to avoid having to tell my story to another group or provider re opening or re starting on areas I have made progress. Most traditional special mission units have camaraderie in there brothers but the SAC are and were trained to be able to operate in hostile environments for multiple years without external support for there missions. This self reliance is a boomerang that has come back to hit me multiple times. In short I needed help and still do.

My treatment goals have been identified reviewed and updated weekly when an entire team of Subject Matter Experts in there field have a sit down and discuss what's working what isn't and what can be done better so I can reach my full potential. Thos approach is novel. I have successfully completed many inpatient treatment programs but have failed after I left for a variety of reasons not the least of which is adequate care for Severe TBI I received while conducting operations in my own country. This was identified early and the team has arranged appropriate level of continued care including Neurological assessments and tests at nearby JBER and coordinated with VA POLYTRAUMA and other providers of specialized medical services.

If you or a loved one needs help with complicated traumatic experiences or are suffering from addiction and are a Veteran Active duty or first responder Kris Kyle is by far the best option .

I traveled from CA via C 17 to be here so u don't have to be an Alaskan to come to this Tier 1 facility.

Staff was incredibly caring! There is that one who knows how to pull your string. And another who acted bossy. My time was too short, I'm still drinking but not as abusive as I was. The in-patient after treatment took too long to get into. But I do highly recommend going there and I'd do it again. If ever this next time, I'd just avoid those who discourage me. And p.s., where's my "catwalk" pictures you guys were suppose to send?

If I could give zero stars I would!

Was an absolute nightmare and continues even after I have left there. The doctor playing as a shrink was like Jecyhl and Hyde! The have these rules to following yet they don't follow them but don't mention that because then you have holy hell to pay. Rules say no paperclips nor staples on the floor YET 95% of the handouts come with staples in them! It says no water bottles to be carried around YET the first night there the nurse checking me in and helping me get settled told me to keep it because ei was a diabetic and therefore I drink a lot of water. Thought that was very caring and thoughtful. Yet that was held against me for having that. Favoritism run rampant there. Returning patients get away with whatever they want. I filed a complaint and that was even a bigger joke. Literally everything I complained about if I didn't have proof was played off as I was the only breaking the rules. The ones I have proof on wasn't mentioned in their reply! So if you care for your veteran DO NOT SEND THEM THERE! Chris Kyle himself would be ashamed that his name is on that place! Veterans are truly not cared about at all! Glad I signed my life away to serve this country I love to only be treated like this when I ask for help from it!
