About Northbound Treatment
About Northbound’s Drug And Alcohol Treatment Centers
Northbound Treatment Center is a leading drug addiction treatment center dedicated to transforming the lives of people struggling with addiction & co-occuring mental health disorders.
Our Story
Our Philosophy
Addiction is not a moral failing or lack of willpower. It is a primary, progressive, chronic and potentially fatal disease centered in the brain. Oftentimes it is impacted by mental health conditions as well as environmental factors. Addiction is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break without professional treatment.
Northbound believes in recovery. We believe in transparency and honesty; and we believe that through our proven continuum of care, clients can be successful in overcoming addiction and maintaining sobriety. Treatment encompasses biological, social, spiritual, and psychological interventions that align with client needs as they progress through each phase of treatment.
Our treatment programs are rooted in evidence-based therapies, our innovative In Vivo® model of care, and the principles of the 12 Steps. Our clients engage in gender-specific, holistic treatment and work closely with an interdisciplinary treatment team to customize their care and provide support along each step of the way.
At Northbound, it is our mission and our motivation to help as many people as possible to achieve a successful and fulfilled life beyond addiction.
We believe that change is possible. We know firsthand that while in the depths of addiction and mental health disorders, embarking on the process of recovery can feel overwhelming. We also know that not all treatment programs are created equal and that the right enviroment and support are critical to achieving lifelong recovery. We assist our clients in celebrating one year of continuous sobriety.
We believe that our history conveys legitimacy, and we have 30+ years of transforming lives at our treatment centers to prove it.
We’ve become a leader within the treatment industry. We’ve created a place where all individuals are guaranteed a feeling of trust and safety. Whether you’re on staff or someone walking through the door looking for treatment, it is vital to our leadership that organizational health is at the top of our mission objectives.

More than 30 years of helping thousands achieve recovery.
Our comprehensive continuum of care has supported thousands of individuals to overcome addiction disorders and substance abuse. At Northbound, we strive to show individuals how to overcome addiction and offer help to those who suffer from underlying mental health disorders that prevent them from leading fulfilling lives.
Everyone’s experience with addiction is different. At Northbound, clients are able to find the path to recovery that works best for them. With a menu of options, treatment planning and program placement are flexible and adaptable to each individual’s needs and goals. Our clients will work with a case manager and therapist to monitor their progress and determine the next steps in their journey. Northbound recognizes that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery, and clients are empowered to be an integral part of the decision-making process.
Northbound’s innovative In Vivo® (or “in life”) model of treatment centers around giving clients appropriate opportunities to experience the joys, challenges, stresses, and successes of “real life” while within our supportive treatment environment. Our clients gain more independence and are challenged to engage more fully in real-life activities and pursuits as they progress through our program and grow in their recovery. They are gradually given opportunities to attend classes at local colleges or trade schools, re-enter the workforce, enjoy community events or concerts, and use cell phones and laptops. As individuals encounter challenges in daily life, they have the support and guidance of the Northbound staff and community to overcome these obstacles and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through this model, our clients realize that they do have the strength and skills to make positive choices. This gradual independence helps to ease the transition back into society, builds self-efficacy and confidence, and enables clients to develop a fulfilling and lasting lifestyle of recovery. Northbound meets clients where they are at in their recovery journey and empowers them to thrive. Living a life of sustained recovery is possible; Northbound can help you get there.
