Welcome
NorthStar gives 17.6 to 24-year-olds the opportunity to transform their lives. Our recovery, responsibility and recreation programs challenge students to think for themselves. Graduates know who they are, what they stand for and where they are going. They become successful, healthy and active adults.

Who Succeeds at NorthStar?
- Young adults who need a structured living program and recovery support for continued sobriety.
- Older teens and young adults who need help transitioning from a therapeutic boarding school, treatment facility or wilderness program to living on their own.
- Young men and women who are motivated toward recovery and are open to receiving the professional support they need.
- Students who need additional support while pursuing educational goals such as completing their high school diploma or GED and/or pursuing a college education.
The journey to self-discovery and sobriety takes dedication and courage. Both students and their parents leave with new insights and knowledge that lead to personal and family success. At the NorthStar residential program for young adults doors will open to new opportunities and a life of health, balance and recovery.
The key components of aftercare recovery that set NorthStar apart from other programs are:
