Addiction Treatment at NorthStar

At NorthStar Recovery Center, we understand that addiction is deeply personal. Recovery requires compassion, dedication, and a team of experienced professionals who care about the whole person, not just their symptoms. Our approach to addiction treatment is centered around providing individualized care that addresses the root causes of addiction, promotes lasting recovery, and supports individuals in regaining control of their lives.

WHO WE ARE

Our warm and compassionate staff is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can heal and grow. Our persuasive approach to addiction treatment focuses on helping individuals develop the skills and tools they need to maintain long-term sobriety. We believe that everyone deserves a chance at recovery and we are here to help you achieve that goal. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Northstar Recovery Center. Let us help you take the first step toward a brighter future.

NorthStar Addiction Treatment Services

NorthStar Recovery Center offers a comprehensive range of services designed to help individuals struggling with substance use disorders. Whether it’s alcohol addiction, opioid use disorder, or a dual diagnosis involving mental health conditions, our team provides a supportive environment where clients can heal at their own pace. From day treatment programs to individual therapy sessions, every aspect of care is tailored to the unique needs of each person who walks through our doors.

Our Mission: Empowering Recovery Through Compassionate Care

At Northstar Recovery Center, our mission is to empower individuals on their recovery journey through compassionate and comprehensive treatment. We believe that recovery is possible for everyone with the right support and a focus on individualized care. Our team of addiction specialists works tirelessly to create personalized treatment plans that not only address substance use but also underlying mental health issues, ensuring a holistic approach to healing.

Specialized Addiction Services

We offer specialized services that cater to the diverse needs of our clients. By recognizing that addiction often coexists with mental health disorders, we integrate both into our treatment plans to ensure lasting recovery.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Alcohol addiction is one of the most common issues we address at NorthStar Recovery Center. Many of our clients come to us facing challenges related to alcohol use, sometimes accompanied by the use of substances like cocaine. Our alcohol addiction treatment programs focus on identifying the underlying factors that contribute to dependency, such as mental health conditions or trauma. Through individual therapy, group therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, we help individuals regain control of their lives.

Opioid Use Disorder: Addressing Prescription and Illicit Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction continues to affect many people, both from the misuse of prescription medications and illicit drugs. We provide comprehensive treatment for opioid use disorder that includes medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and therapeutic support. Our team is dedicated to addressing the stigma surrounding opioid addiction and helping clients overcome feelings of shame or guilt, creating a supportive environment for recovery.

Dual Diagnosis: Integrating Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment

At NorthStar Recovery Center, we understand the close connection between substance use and mental health issues. Many individuals will be faced with a dual diagnosis, where both addiction and mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, or PTSD are present. Our dual diagnosis programs are designed to address both aspects simultaneously, ensuring that clients receive the care they need to manage their mental health while working toward sobriety. This integrated approach is crucial for achieving long-term success in recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Modalities

Our treatment approach at NorthStar Recovery Center involves evidence-based therapies and holistic care designed to meet the unique needs of each client. We offer a range of therapeutic modalities that promote healing and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Building Coping Skills for Lasting Change

CBT is a cornerstone of our addiction treatment services. This evidence-based approach focuses on helping clients recognize and change negative thought patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors. By developing healthier coping skills, individuals can better manage stress, avoid triggers, and maintain long-term recovery.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Enhancing Emotional Regulation

For individuals facing emotional regulation or co-occurring mental health disorders, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a vital tool. DBT helps clients manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and build more meaningful relationships. We incorporate DBT into our treatment plans to support clients in building a stable foundation for recovery.

Trauma Therapy: Trauma-Informed Care for Sustainable Recovery

Often, trauma plays a significant role in addiction, and addressing it is crucial for sustainable recovery. NorthStar Recovery Center provides trauma-informed care through modalities like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which helps clients process traumatic experiences and reduce their emotional impact. By addressing trauma directly, we help individuals heal from the past and move forward in their recovery.

Group Therapy: Strengthening Support Systems

Our group therapy sessions offer clients the opportunity to share their experiences and gain support from others who are facing similar challenges. Led by our skilled therapists, group sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can build connections, practice new skills, and receive encouragement on their recovery journey.

Personalized Care and Treatment Planning

At NorthStar Recovery Center, we believe that no two people are the same, and neither are their recovery journeys. That’s why we prioritize personalized care, working closely with each client to create a treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals.

Individual Therapy: Tailoring Sessions to Meet Unique Goals

Our individual therapy sessions are a key component of our treatment approach. Each client works one-on-one with a therapist to explore personal challenges, identify goals, and develop strategies for overcoming addiction. These sessions are flexible and adapted as needed, ensuring that the treatment plan evolves alongside the client’s progress.

Day Treatment Program: Comprehensive Day Treatment

Our day treatment program offers a structured and supportive environment where clients can focus on their recovery during the day while returning home in the evenings. This program is ideal for individuals who need intensive support but also want the flexibility to maintain their home life.

Virtual Day Treatment Program: Structured Support for Flexibility

For clients who prefer or require remote care, our virtual day treatment program offers the same high level of support and structure in a more flexible format. This program provides access to individual therapy, group sessions, and holistic care through online platforms, allowing clients to engage in treatment from the comfort of their own homes.

Inpatient Rehab: Residential Care for Addiction Recovery

Our inpatient rehab program provides a safe, supportive space for clients who need 24/7 care. With a focus on personalized treatment and continuous support, inpatient rehab is designed to help individuals fully immerse themselves in their recovery journey. Clients receive a combination of therapeutic modalities, including individual and group therapy, trauma-informed care, and holistic approaches to healing.

Expert Addiction Specialists and Support

At NorthStar Recover Center, our team of addiction specialists is dedicated to providing compassionate and expert care. Our clinical staff includes licensed therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and addiction counselors, all of whom bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the treatment process. With a focus on collaboration and individualized care, our team works closely with clients to ensure they have the support and guidance needed to achieve lasting recovery.

The Benefits of Our Clinical Team

Our multidisciplinary clinical team provides a broad range of expertise, ensuring that clients receive comprehensive care that addresses both their addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions. From medication management to trauma therapy, our team is equipped to handle the complexities of addiction treatment, creating a supportive and healing environment for every client.

Integrated Mental Health Treatment

We take a holistic approach to mental health care, understanding that addiction is often intertwined with mental health challenges. By offering integrated treatment that addresses both addiction and mental health, we are helping clients develop coping strategies and build resilience to sustain long-term recovery.

Addressing Anxiety and Stress Through Holistic Approaches

Anxiety and stress are common challenges for individuals in recovery, and we offer a variety of holistic approaches to help manage these emotions. Through mindfulness practices, meditation, and other stress-reduction techniques, we support clients in finding inner calm and maintaining emotional balance as they work toward recovery.

Cognitive and Behavioral Strategies for Enhanced Mental Health

At NorthStar Recovery Center, we recognize the powerful impact that thoughts and behaviors have on mental health and addiction recovery. Our cognitive and behavioral strategies are designed to equip clients with practical tools to reshape their thinking patterns and actions, promoting lasting positive change. Through these strategies, we empower our clients to take an active role in their mental health and recovery. By changing thought patterns and behaviors, individuals can create a strong foundation for lasting sobriety and improved overall well-being.

The Importance of Community and Family Involvement

At NorthStar Recovery Center, we recognize that addiction doesn’t just affect the individual – it impacts the entire family system. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on family involvement throughout the treatment process. Our family therapy sessions are designed to heal relationships, improve communication, and provide education on addiction and recovery.

Family involvement is crucial for several reasons:

  • Helps break down the barriers of isolation that often accompany addiction.
  • Provides a support system for the individual in recovery.
  • Allows family members to heal and learn healthy coping mechanisms.
  • Improves the chances of long-term recovery success.

Our family therapy sessions begin within 24 hours of intake, focusing on education and open communication. We tailor these sessions to address specific issues identified by both clients and their families, fostering trust and creating a foundation for ongoing support.

Beyond family therapy, we also emphasize the importance of building a supportive community for sustained sobriety. Our clients often form strong bonds with one another, creating a network of peer support that extends beyond their time in treatment. This sense of community is vital for maintaining motivation, accountability, and hope throughout the recovery journey.

Family Therapy: Enhancing Communication and Support

Family therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment approach at NorthStar Recovery Center. We understand that addiction can strain relationships and create patterns of dysfunction within families. Our family therapy sessions aim to:

  • Improve communication skills between family members
  • Address and heal past hurts and resentments
  • Educate family members about addiction and the recovery process
  • Develop healthy boundaries and coping strategies
  • Create a supportive home environment for sustained recovery

Our experienced therapists work with families to navigate the complex emotions and challenges that arise during the recovery process. We provide a safe space for honest dialogue, helping families rebuild trust and strengthen their relationships.

Building a Supportive Community for Sustained Sobriety

Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. At NorthStar, we foster a sense of community among our clients that extends well beyond their time in treatment. This supportive network is crucial for maintaining long-term sobriety and includes:

  • Peer support groups: Clients connect with others who understand their struggles and can offer encouragement and advice
  • Alumni programs: We maintain strong connections with former clients, offering ongoing support and opportunities for involvement
  • Community resources: We help clients connect with local support groups, sober living communities, and other recovery-focused resources
  • Skill-building workshops: We offer sessions on stress management, communication, and other life skills that support sustained recovery

By building this supportive community, we empower our clients to maintain their sobriety long after they leave our care. The relationships formed during treatment often become a vital source of strength and accountability in the years to come.

Understanding Relapse Prevention and Management

Relapse prevention is a critical component of our treatment approach at NorthStar Recovery Center. We recognize that recovery is a lifelong journey, and challenges are bound to arise. Our relapse prevention strategies are designed to equip clients with the tools and skills they need to navigate these challenges successfully.

We emphasize that relapse, should it occur, is not a failure but an opportunity for learning and growth. Our team is prepared to provide compassionate support and help clients get back on track quickly if a setback occurs.

Getting treatment at Northstar was one of the best decisions of my life. Everyone there truly cares about each and every client, from the counselors to the administrators, to the owners, every day that I went in, I felt loved. I was hesitant at first but recovery isn’t what it used to be, I found such joy and peace and kindness and compassion at Northstar. There is no judgement behind their doors. The staff all chose to work in recovery because it has touched their lives in some way and they know how much good treatment is needed. I’ll take the lessons I learned and the friendships I made at Northstar everywhere I go. If you need treatment, do not hesitate to reach out to them.

My experience at North Star topped the other 12 times I had been in treatment. This time it has lasted. Their knowledge of both addiction and mental health truly helps each individual understand their disease- and feel understood and not alone. They will go above and beyond for you- especially Rebecca. I am almost in tears with gratitude and cannot begin to express the life changing experience I had at North Star. Shout out or Ben for getting me and Rebecca and Alesha for supporting me when I couldn’t support myself.

Northstar recovery and the community around it absolutely saved my life. Not only are the staff members an absolute life saver but just being connected to so many other people that are here for recovery and really want it has helped so much. I’ve been to other iop’s where it feels like the staff is just there for a pay check but not at Northstar. Every employee here are always willing to reach out a hand and help you out at any point, and enjoy doing it! Huge shout out to Ben and Chris! They started a big book study group within Northstar that i take full advantage of and has helped with my sobriety significantly. Will be getting five months this Friday and without the help of Northstar i don’t think i would have been able to do it!

At first I was nervous as this was my first time reaching out for help, I got the courage and placed the call on the other end was a gentleman by the name of Jeff, he set my mind at ease during this tough time and was very informative and supportive, as well as keeping my family in the loop. All the staff were just the same and my overall experience was second to none. Only regret is I didn’t reach out sooner.
