About Northstar Recovery Center
Northstar Recovery Center provides substance use and co-occurring mental health treatment in Southborough, Massachusetts. They offer immersive care to help guests overcome addiction with a balance of structure and flexibility.
Flexible Evidence Based Care
The center offers outpatient programs that allow guests to continue with daily work or family obligations. They treat dual-diagnosis conditions that frequently accompany substance use, like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges.
Treatment is provided through evidence based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. These methods help clients find acceptance and change negative actions and thinking patterns. Guests will discover how their thoughts and feelings may contribute to substance use.
Peer Groups To Encourage Sobriety
Peer group sessions help reduce isolation and allow time with others in recovery. Guests have support and encouragement throughout the treatment process. Peers can also have insightful views related to addiction and recovery. Attending 12-step meetings incorporates spiritual development, increases accountability, and provides camaraderie with others.
Since families are affected by substance use, the center offers psychotherapy sessions to help address issues in a supportive environment. Clients and loved ones will develop coping methods and techniques for supportive, sustained sobriety.
The facility is located just off Turnpike a half hour away from Worcester and about an hour away from Boston. When you have time in between treatment sessions, you can take a day trip to either town and find fun new sober activities you can enjoy. One option that might be worth considering is spending time learning about science at the EcoTarium.
