Substance Treatment

As addictions take over one’s life, substance use disorder treatment is a way to regain control. Addictions may begin with a personal choice to use alcohol or drugs, but research shows that for many, a physiological dependence takes hold. Like other chronic illnesses, addiction can be treated successfully, and NorthStar Regional can help.

Co-Occurring Intensive Outpatient Programs

What We Help With

Our substance use disorder treatment consists of co-occurring disorders intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that address substance use, mental health issues and medical/psychiatric issues at the same time. Our programs are open to both men and women, with gender-specific lodging available for those in our IOP.

People who have a substance use disorder as well as a mental health disorder are diagnosed as having co-occurring disorders. This is also sometimes called a dual diagnosis. A substance use disorder includes alcohol or drug abuse.

Our substance use disorder treatment program is designed specifically for the treatment of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. It is our philosophy that recovery must tackle chemical and emotional issues at the same time, in the same place with the same team. Treatment of co-occurring disorders is designed for two primary reasons: 1) to reduce symptoms and 2) prevent relapse.

Lodging

How Our Houses Work

A limited number of beds are available in gender-specific houses for men and women in one of our COD Intensive Outpatient Programs. These group homes are located within driving distance from the treatment center, and transportation is provided from lodging to treatment. We will work with clients who need lodging to obtain Housing Support funding, which covers food and lodging. A cash rate is also available. For more information, see our Housing page.
