Our Addiction Treatment Services

There is no cure for addiction, but it can be managed. Addiction treatment programs help provide the tools and the skills needed to live a life without drugs and alcohol. At our North Carolina treatment center, we provide:

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Also called “day treatment” or “substance abuse comprehensive outpatient treatment (SACOT),” our PHP offers structure and purpose for clients in early recovery. Our PHP meets five hours per day, five days per week. Clients become biologically and emotionally stable while learning beginner skills for recovery.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

We offer day and evening IOP services. Clients meet in groups three times per week for three hours. Our IOP is based on a systems approach to sobriety management. Through this approach, we help clients learn how to navigate people, places, and things that frequently lead to relapse. When combined with new behavioral skills, the systems approach supports what we call “structured ongoing sobriety (SOS),” making recovery an approachable, daily process.

Outpatient Services

Our outpatient aftercare services provide ongoing support for clients who have completed a higher level of care but still need accountability and guidance. We offer weekly therapy sessions and regular group meetings to help individuals maintain their sobriety long-term. Our team also helps clients create relapse prevention plans and connect with community resources for continued support.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Addiction often co-occurs alongside mental health conditions like depression, addiction, and trauma-related issues. By integrating treatment, we help clients manage their mental health symptoms and overcome addiction. We offer dual diagnosis treatment for addiction and:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Each client receives an individualized care plan developed by the NorthStar treatment team to address their unique needs.

Aftercare and Sober Living

Recovery does not stop after treatment ends. NorthStar Clinical Services continues to guide former clients as they begin their lifelong journeys of sobriety. Our aftercare and sober living options offer ongoing support and resources to help individuals maintain their recovery and prevent relapse.

Addiction Therapy Programs at NorthStar

We utilize several evidence-based addiction therapy methods at our rehab center. Clients engage in a range of behavioral therapies, including:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Group therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Family therapy

These therapies help individuals gain insight into their addiction, develop coping mechanisms and healthy communication skills, and address underlying trauma or mental health issues that may contribute to substance abuse. We also offer holistic therapies like breathwork, meditation, sand tray, and art therapy to support comprehensive healing.

The Importance of Family

From day one of treatment, we include each client’s family. Recovery is a partnership between the client, NorthStar, and the client’s support system where change incorporates the entire family unit. We believe that the support and love of family and friends are invaluable to an individual’s healing process, and we strive to foster strong connections between our clients and their loved ones.
