Outpatient Care Focused on Opioid Recovery

Northstar Behavioral Health’s Saint Cloud location offers outpatient-only treatment for adults seeking help for opioid addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Services include medications for addiction treatment (MAT) like buprenorphine, and evidence-based therapies that support long-term recovery. The program accommodates individuals at different stages, from initial stabilization to ongoing recovery, and does not offer residential or detox care.

Inclusive Care for Underserved Populations

The Saint Cloud location welcomes veterans, young adults, and individuals involved with the criminal justice system. Programs are inclusive of people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, or unstable living environments. Smoking and vaping are permitted in designated areas on-site.

Focused Care for Co-Occurring Needs

The program is designed for clients managing both substance use and mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or chronic pain. Each client participates in evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and 12-step facilitation. Individual, group, family, and couples counseling foster emotional connection and long-term healing.

Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT)

Clients receive on-site medication support, including buprenorphine-based treatments and extended-release formulations. MAT services are available both in-house and in coordination with external providers, and the facility also supports smoking cessation and mental health medication management.

Integrated Recovery Support and Aftercare

From the beginning of care, clients work with staff to develop personalized aftercare plans that support long-term recovery. Northstar helps connect clients with transitional housing, local recovery meetings, and continued access to medications and therapy. Peer mentoring is woven into the program to support community building and accountability beyond treatment

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
