Our Alcohol Rehab

A Leading Drug & Alcohol Detox in Massachusetts

At Northstar Recovery Center, we understand how overwhelming it can be to take the first step toward recovery from alcohol addiction and/or drug addiction. Detox is a critical starting point—but navigating where to go, how to get in, and what your insurance covers can be confusing and stressful.

That’s where Northstar’s alcohol detox in Massachusetts comes in.

A Guide for Your Recovery Journey

Although Northstar is not a detox facility, we work closely with top medical detox and residential programs across Massachusetts.

We’ll do all of the heavy lifting like making phone calls, coordinating transportation, verifying insurance, etc. Once you’ve completed detox, we’ll be ready to welcome you into comprehensive outpatient programs, including our:

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Mental Health IOP

What Sets Us Apart

What Is Alcohol Detox—And Why Does It Matter?

Alcohol detoxification is the medically supervised process of safely withdrawing from alcohol. For individuals with physical dependence, quitting “cold turkey” can be dangerous or even life-threatening without professional support. We’ll help you find a program that offers all of the above—and that works with your insurance.

Detox typically includes:

  • Medical supervision and symptom management
  • Emotional stabilization and mental health support
  • Planning aftercare treatment to strengthen the foundations of 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.
