What We Treat at Our Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in Massachusetts

We accept most insurance and offer specialized care for substance use disorders at our addiction treatment centers in Massachusetts, including:

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol is one of the most commonly misused substances, often hiding in plain sight. Over time, it can take a serious toll on your health, relationships, and peace of mind. We treat alcohol use disorder with comprehensive, individualized care to help you safely detox, recover, and rebuild your life.

Opioids

Highly addictive and potentially fatal, opioids like fentanyl, heroin, and OxyContin can quickly lead to physical dependence and overdose. We offer targeted treatment and medication-assisted support to manage cravings and withdrawal safely.

Depressants

Barbiturates and benzodiazepines (like Xanax or Valium) are often prescribed for anxiety or sleep—but they carry a high risk for dependence and withdrawal complications. Our team provides safe, monitored care for those struggling with depressant misuse.

Stimulants

Substances like cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants (e.g., Adderall) can cause intense highs followed by emotional crashes, paranoia, or cardiovascular issues. We help you break the cycle and restore balance through behavioral therapy and support.

Cannabis (Marijuana)

Modern marijuana products—like THC edibles, oils, and concentrates—can cause psychological dependence, mental health concerns, and impact daily functioning. We help individuals regain control when cannabis use begins to interfere with life.

The team at Northstar helped me dig out of one of the worst times of my life. The life skills I learned here will stay with me forever. From the owners to the therapists + recovery specialists everyone here is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Special shoutout to my therapist Karen who was kind, understanding and proactive in helping me with my recovery!

From the first time I walked into Northstar I was greeted by many smiling faces. Those faces turned into confidants that have made my sobriety successful. Each and every staff members priority is the well being of their clients. The past 6 weeks, I have learned so much about my allergy (alcohol) and coping skills on how to remain sober for today and tomorrow. I highly recommend Northstar Recovery.

Northstar has truly been a godsend. The staff is super friendly and takes time to learn everyone's name. They say good morning and make you feel welcomed. The groups are fantastic. They also offer yoga and sound healing groups. They explore different styles of recovery so that everyone can find what works for them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help. There is a path to recovery and they will help you find yours.
