Treatment at NorthStar Transitions is trauma informed, utilizing evidenced-based, experiential, and somatic therapies. We support a skills-based, interpersonal relationship healing model that enriches the client's therapeutic experience and community development. We focus on teaching clients how to disrupt their reflexive pattern of behavior, moving them beyond their addiction and enabling them to work through stuck traumas and co-occurring disorders. Through working experientially in group and individual therapy, we can also foster authentic healing interactions with peers and their therapist; making real life recovery possible. We aim to address each client’s unique challenges and needs in a non-confrontational and non-judgmental way. Using motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, somatic and experiential therapies, our intention is to assist clients in moving beyond their pre-contemplative or contemplative stage of change. Conjunct with clinical treatment, our dedicated treatment team helps clients develop critical life skills to build confidence, resilience and independence as self-sustaining healthy individuals prepared to take on a future free of substance abuse and addiction. Our continuum of care includes a 30 day residential program for grounding skills and regulation, a day program (PHP) for resourcing and exploration, and IOP for taking a deeper inventory into the root of their addiction. Clients receive individual and family therapy on top of their group experience, as well as psychiatric attention from our Board Certified Addiction Psychiatrist and medical team. We are an MAT friendly treatment program, and are licensed by the Office of Behavioral Health and accredited by The Joint Commission. We work with insurances on an in-network basis to provide quality treatment that is accessible.

It's essential to understand the benefits of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), especially if you struggle with trauma or addiction. Have you ever experienced a traumatic event and felt like you were stuck in the past, or have you dealt with an addiction that left you feeling isolated and uncertain about your future? If so, then EMDR may be suitable for your situation. EMDR is a well-established therapeutic modality used to treat people with trauma and addiction symptoms. These may include intrusive memories or flashbacks of the traumatic events, avoidance behaviors, emotional distress, negative thoughts/beliefs associated with their experience(s), etc. At NorthStar Transitions, we understand how difficult it can be to cope with the stress of these issues on your own, which is why our team can help you navigate this approach to recovery. In this blog post, we will cover the benefits of being able to use EMDR. This includes providing relief from intense emotional suffering to creating lasting behavioral change.

Do you feel misunderstood by your family, community, or culture? Are there stereotypes that perpetuate harmful stigmas about you or the people you care about? Individuals struggling with substance use disorders (SUD) often feel this way. Unfortunately, those who struggle with meth addiction may be especially hesitant to seek treatment due to fear of judgment and stigma. Movies and TV shows often have similar portrayals of meth addiction. However, this stereotypical picture can cause us to overlook the reality of meth use. It can also discourage people from seeking treatment before their addiction progresses. Continue reading on our blog! https://lnkd.in/gzRhZ5Jq
A new trend in the world of alternative mental health treatments is microdosing. You may have come across posts online promoting microdosing hallucinogens like acid or psilocybin to achieve open-mindedness or healing. Unfortunately, the data shows that this trend is far more likely to be harmful than helpful. The dangers of microdosing should not be overlooked. Microdosing experimentation may begin with pure intentions. Unfortunately, it can quickly lead to addiction and other serious outcomes. If you find yourself on this path, know there is a better way. Consider evidence-based mental health treatment today. Reach out with any questions any time - we're here to help! https://lnkd.in/gnYZQVe3
