Get in touch →People managing both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder shouldn’t have to navigate two separate systems. At NorthStar, one coordinated team handles both.

See what’s involved →Outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, with assessment and level-of-care planning based on the ASAM Criteria — so treatment intensity matches what someone actually needs, and changes as they do.
See what’s involved →Our intake coordinator answers, or calls you back the same business day. No phone tree.
We verify your insurance before your first visit so there are no surprises afterward.
About an hour, in person or by video. We talk through what’s going on and what would help.
What level of care, how often, and who else needs to be involved. It changes as you do.
NorthStar opened in 2014 after our founder watched a member of his own family go through opioid use disorder — and discovered that in a city the size of Detroit, there was almost nowhere to send him that didn’t have a six-week waiting list.
We started with six providers. Twelve years later we’re a team of 68 serving more than 4,200 people a year, and that founding frustration still sets the standard we hold ourselves to.
We answer the phone. We get people scheduled. We stay with them through the parts of recovery that aren’t linear.
