NorthStar Care is a comprehensive, next generation, virtual alcohol rehab program.
Our compassionate program removes barriers to treatment including judgment and stigma. Our scientific and medical approach dramatically improves clinical outcomes. Current available treatment options are not medically focused, nor evidence based and have not evolved in over 70 years.
Using advanced technologies including Virtual Reality (VR), Telehealth, data science, and genetics, North-Star Care provides a completely private home treatment experience for patients suffering with Alcohol Use Disorder. Our anonymous avatar-based VR peer groups empower people with similar experiences to connect in a truly open and authentic manner.
