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.

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
