What is the Program?

Substance use disorder is a medical problem that demands a medical solution, so NorthStar Care utilizes science from the start. Guided by genetics and supported by medication and nutrient repletion, NorthStar Care’s evidence-based program is built around your schedule and includes:

• A full year of medication and nutrient therapy conveniently delivered to your door by CourMed, a concierge health services company
• Anonymous VR support groups, where you can connect with people who share similar challenges and goals without revealing your identity
• Unlimited engagement with your interdisciplinary care team, which includes physicians, nurses, and peer guides who will monitor your progress and provide personalized guidance, support, and encouragement.

What are the Benefits?

In just 14 days, NorthStar Care’s revolutionary program can help you begin to restore brain function, decrease cravings, and improve sleep. But that’s just the beginning. NorthStar Care provides care for a full year because they know that you cannot “cure” substance use disorder or alcohol use disorder in 30 days.

The year-long program is the only treatment option available that provides both medical and behavioral treatment components and is designed to be:

1. Confidential. Virtual reality devices provide an immersive experience, while customizable avatars and voice options ensure complete anonymity. The result? You can connect to peers across the nation without fear of recognition or judgment. 
2. Convenient: Most people can’t afford to take weeks or months away from their families or careers. NorthStar Care has solved this barrier to care by making it easy to access treatment anywhere, anytime, using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
3. Effective: Founded by a board-certified addiction medicine physician and an internationally-recognized data scientist, NorthStar Care offers a fully-integrated team model featuring both medical professionals and peer guides. The program is based on the latest scientific research and is six times more effective than traditional rehab, with an average 80% reduction in BAC in the first month of treatment.

Affordable: NorthStar Care’s year-long program is available to CourMed members for just $50,000 per client, a fraction of the cost of a typical 30-day residential treatment facility, which typically ranges from $85k to $180K. Plus, you don’t have to worry about travel expenses, lost income, or insurance hassles.
