Program/Key Features
Next Step Recovery is a structured transitional living community that helps adult males develop life skills and healthy coping mechanisms that increase the likelihood of successful and substance-free reentry to the community. While residents may stay anywhere from 3 to 12 months, it is recommended that residents plan to stay with us for at least 6 months to support their recovery process.
Our residential recovery program provides structured supervision and accountability, addictions recovery support, life skills training, and a strong social support network.
Key Features
Structured Supervision. Next Step Recovery supports residents through structured supervision that ensures accountability and an alcohol and drug-free environment. We administer random drug screens and maintain a no-tolerance policy with regard to substance abuse.
Addictions Recovery Support. A licensed staff counselor is available onsite Monday through Friday. Relapse prevention group meetings are held twice weekly and are mandatory. Residents are required to obtain a sponsor and attend several AA/NA meetings weekly. House managers and resident mentors provide additional support and guidance throughout the day.
Life-Skills Training. Residents are required to work, volunteer or attend school full time at least four days each week. Residents are also required to attend support meetings throughout the week and are responsible for house chores and meal preparation. Learning to balance these multiple responsibilities is excellent preparation for transitioning back into daily life without drugs and alcohol. Our house managers and staff counselor are available to assist residents with budgeting and money management, schedule planning and cooking skills.
Social Support. Our two recovery houses and program schedule have been designed to encourage healthy peer support. Residents share a bedroom, are given a resident mentor, have easy access to a house manager, and attend group relapse prevention and house meetings. Supportive friends are easy to find in common areas such as living rooms, kitchen and dining areas and porches.
