Leadership & Clinical Team

Our Leadership Team Spans Across All Our Locations

Meet the executives, clinical directors, and treatment directors who run care across NorthStar Regional’s locations. Our leadership team carries decades of combined treatment industry experience, including leaders who came through treatment themselves.

What we treat

Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

Addiction treatment and mental health counseling are our two core services, and designated programs include co-occurring care.

Substance use care spans medical detox through sober housing. Outpatient mental health stands on its own: you don’t need a substance use diagnosis to be seen.

How Admission Works

How Admissions Works: Two Steps

However you got here, you are in the right place.

Step One: You Call

We listen to what you are struggling with, what you need, and where you want to go. Then we walk through your options and find the right starting point for you. From day one, we also help with insurance enrollment, financial assistance, clothing, and essentials.

Step Two: We Pick You Up

An admissions coordinator stays on the line while a carefully vetted driver, most often someone in long-term recovery, picks you up anywhere in the Twin Cities metro. In the vehicle there is water, electrolytes, and a meal on the way, because arriving cared for matters.
