Inpatient Rehab at Northstar Recovery Center: A Comprehensive Approach to Recovery
Day Treatment Program in Southborough and West Springfield, MA
What Is Inpatient Rehab?
Addiction can affect many different aspects of one’s life. Substance use disorder (SUD) is commonly linked with co-occurring mental health conditions. Living with unmanaged SUD or a dual diagnosis can make the world feel as if it is spinning around with no control. It can be challenging to maintain recovery alone. For some individuals, it can be a difficult choice to make, but surrendering to inpatient care can help one find mental stability and get back on track to a healthy recovery.

Definition and Overview of Inpatient Care
Research indicates that inpatient care is a safe environment that provides 24-hour monitoring for patients who require additional assistance. Individuals with severe substance use disorder or co-occurring mental health conditions may gain greater benefits from residing in an inpatient care setting. Inpatient care can help one gain increased motivation or a stronger support network. This level of care is usually restricted to patients with:
- Severe overdoses
- Serious respiratory depression or coma
- Severe withdrawal syndromes
- Co-occurring medical conditions that could worsen withdrawal symptoms
- Psychiatric complications that put them at risk of harming themselves or others
- A history of nonresponsiveness or other forms of treatment
How Inpatient Rehab Supports Recovery
It is common for those in recovery to relapse within the first year after completing treatment. Fortunately, inpatient care can assist during a relapse. Typically, this involves supervision by an expert team of professionals who focus on medical management. The care team may encourage the detoxification process or psychiatric care for a short period, such as overnight, to promote stabilization.

Northstar Recovery Center is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to meet the unique needs of each individual. We are passionate about providing the support needed to recover from what may seem like a setback. Everyone deserves another chance to change their life. Our approach to care involves:
Personalized Treatment for Alcohol and Substance Use Disorder
At Northstar Recovery Center, our compassionate care team believes that a personalized approach to alcohol addiction treatment in MA is essential for achieving lasting recovery from alcohol addiction. Our experienced team of therapists, counselors, and medical professionals work closely with each other to develop an individualized treatment plan for our patients. We tailor our services to our patient’s specific needs to support and guide them in overcoming the obstacles to recovery.
Focus on Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health
Our trained staff not only treats substance use disorder but works diligently to discover the root cause of substance abuse. We understand that a dual diagnosis can be challenging to manage without support. Our dedicated team of professionals provides a whole-person approach, which promotes a more successful recovery outcome.
Therapeutic Modalities in Inpatient Rehab
Not everyone responds the same way to the same type of treatment. Fortunately, Northstar Recovery Center has a few different modalities available. Our specialists are happy to develop an individualized treatment plan to get to know our patients better and better accommodate our patients’ mental health requirements.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Our recovery center offers a cognitive behavioral therapy program to help our patients with substance use disorder heal in Massachusetts. At Northstar, our experienced addiction treatment clinicians have extensive experience in using CBT. Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based treatment modality that is highly effective in the treatment of a dual diagnosis, whereas other treatments have not shown to be as successful. The therapists here at our recovery center work consistently with our patients to replace negative behaviors and thoughts with positive actions and thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Another form of CBT is dialectical behavior therapy. This is another effective holistic approach to care, including mindfulness. DBT can help our patients find acceptance and gain motivation for continuous change. This type of psychotherapy can improve distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Therapy for Trauma
Here at Northstar Recovery Center, we understand that many individuals with SUD may have endured one or more traumatic events. For example, it is common for some individuals to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol to cope with the effects of trauma. The staff at Northstar Recovery Center in Southborough, MA, are committed to helping those with any traumatic experience find relief from their pain by providing comprehensive care for all types.
Family Therapy and Support
SUD affects not only the individual with an addiction but their surroundings as well. Active or past addictive behaviors can cause significant strife within a family circle. Therefore, relationships with loved ones can be significantly impaired. Family therapy at our center allows family members to connect and support others who understand what they are going through. Our therapists strive to help each family member understand how their behavior impacts their loved one’s condition as well.
Individual and Group Therapy Sessions
One-on-one psychotherapy can be highly beneficial to those who are seeking more personalized care. Our therapists at Northstar Recovery Center provide a safe environment for our patients to open up, as we understand confidentiality is a priority. Each group therapy session provides a comfortable setting for our patients to confide in others and learn new tools to maintain lasting sobriety.
Understanding the Inpatient Rehab Program
Based on the aforementioned research study, the chain of treatment settings, ranging from most intense to involved, includes inpatient hospitalization, residential care, intensive outpatient treatment, and outpatient care. Inpatient rehab involves around-the-clock care for detoxification management, medical care, or psychiatric crises. Residential facilities offer 24-hour care for longer periods for those who lack support or motivation. Intensive outpatient treatment requires 9 hours a week, whereas outpatient treatment typically requires a couple of hours a week to once a month.
Medication Management and Psychiatric Care
For some individuals, it can be challenging to cope with intense cravings. Northstar provides medication management through a psychiatric nurse practitioner, offering education and options such as medications when appropriate. This works to reduce substance cravings to improve one’s ability to focus for lasting sobriety.
Addressing Signs and Symptoms of Addiction
At Northstar Recovery Center, we understand recognizing the signs of addiction can be difficult. Doing so can reduce the severity of one’s condition. Our experienced clinicians compassionately work to address our patient’s symptoms to reach an accurate diagnosis. We strive to deliver proper management to promote healthy well-being.
Holistic and Evidence-Based Approaches
Our team works to incorporate natural strategies to promote self-awareness and the development of healthy coping mechanisms. Here at Northstar Recovery Center, our evidence-based approach provides a strength-based approach to building client confidence and self-efficacy.
Integrating Psychotherapy with Holistic Therapies
Depending on the severity of our patient’s condition, we may suggest combining different treatment modalities. For example, receiving standard care and holistic services at the same time can be beneficial. This may help individuals with unique cases achieve a more successful outcome.
Mindfulness and Meditation in Treatment
One-on-one psychotherapy can sometimes feel intimidating. Incorporating mindfulness and meditation can help. Practicing mindfulness and meditation in treatment can promote relaxation and help patients better understand themselves to make it easier to engage.
Coping Strategies and Stress Management
At any stage of recovery, one may be at risk for a potential relapse. Addiction recovery requires hard work and pure dedication to maintain stability. It is important to slow down and use effective coping strategies for stress management. Healthy eating, exercise, and finding gratitude can help one stay focused.
The Role of Family and Peer Support
Research has highlighted the importance of family involvement in the recovery process. An individual’s family is the primary source of nurturing, attachment, and socialization. Family support can help one stay on track to long-term recovery. Thus, the impact of addiction on an individual’s family merits attention. Family and peer support can also aid with:
- Building confidence
- Developing strategies and maintaining accountability for relapse prevention and long-term sobriety
- Motivation
