Care Star Recovery and Wellness

Care Star Recovery & Wellness is a veteran owned and operated outpatient program providing substance abuse and co-occurring mental health treatment using a person-centered, holistic wellness approach. They offer 12-Step facilitated recovery, as well as alternative healing options. They offer intensive and supportive outpatient programs incorporating a diverse range of evidence-based and innovative modalities with individual, group, and family therapy.
Care Star provides compassionate and comprehensive care for various substance use disorders, in addition to mental health and co-occurring conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, and bi-polar disorder. Their gender-specific programming recognizes the differences between men and women, designed to address their unique needs. Their women’s program targets intimacy disorders such as love dependency, love avoidance, sex or pornography addiction, sexual trauma, and sexual compulsion. Men with indications of a sexual dependency can also seek treatment for sexual compulsions and behaviors that cause significant adverse consequences including legal trouble, strained relationships, health risks, or financial strain.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide a confidential and supportive treatment environment, typically for 10 hours per week for a period of 8 weeks. They offer daytime and evening IOP sessions, with groups of 8-12 participants meeting 3 times per week. Additionally, clients receive weekly 1 hour individual therapy sessions with an assigned clinician. Their intensive outpatient utilizes several proven methods including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and forms of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention planning, and various life skills training.
Similarly to IOP, Care Star offers a less intensive supportive outpatient program (SOP), focusing on building positive habits, establishing secure support systems, enhancing relapse prevention strategies, and nurturing self-esteem. These extended support services are ideal for individuals transitioning from a more intensive level of care, and aims to maintain progress and provide preventative services. Patients in SOP participate in a mix of therapeutic approaches for 4 hours per week through individual, group, and family therapy sessions.
In addition to their intensive and supportive outpatient programming, Care Star offers relapse prevention, virtual therapy, and aftercare services for clients and their families.
Care Star takes a holistic wellness approach to treatment, using a person-centered focus allowing clients from all walks of life to find a treatment regimen to best fit their specific needs and circumstances. Their organization fosters community building and advocacy, lifelong learning and growth, and uses strength-based interventions; empowering clients to harness resiliency, inner strength and a sense of belonging on their transformative journey.
Patients are offered convenient, flexible, and innovative treatment modalities including individual and group telemedicine therapy. A program tailored to individuals experiencing emotional trauma provides individualized care targeting conditions such as codependency, love avoidance, love dependency, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cutting-edge, state-of-the-art methods for complex or treatment resistant depression, PTSD, and other trauma related disorders are offered with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR).

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Care Star Recovery and Wellness provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Care Star Recovery and Wellness offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Care Star Recovery and Wellness works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
