About Us

Our Mission

Next Step Recovery aims to provide the highest quality of Intensive Outpatient Programs specifically designed for men ages 18-40 in early recovery from substance use and co-occurring disorders for The Greater Asheville Community.

We implement evidence-based treatment in a safe environment where men can successfully transition back into society as productive citizens.

Our Five Core Values

Building life-long relationships through: Diversity, Hope, Brotherhood, Compassion and Accountability.

Transitional Living & Extended Care

Next Step Recovery provides integrated access to Intensive Outpatient Program Services for residences of NSR of Asheville’s Sober Living Program.

NSR of Asheville and Next Step Recovery created a special IOP, Extended Care, and Sober Living Environment model to provide residents more support when they need it. This combination model helps provide the quality of care needed to help prevent relapse.

Who We Serve

Those wanting to be free from addiction choose Next Step Recovery because they want to continue working on their recovery in a safe, supportive and substance-free environment. They are fathers, sons, husbands, brothers, coworkers, students and friends. They are ordinary and extraordinary men struggling to overcome what is often a hidden but all too common disease—one that takes its toll not only on the person struggling with addiction, but also on his family, friends, and community.

Fortunately, the disease of addiction is treatable. Next Step Recovery’s structured IOP is important early steps in any long-term recovery plan. Although our program may vary in length depending on an individual’s needs, a 90-day commitment to our recovery program is required.

Our voluntary 12-week IOP is only open to The Greater Asheville Community. Program eligibility and admission are subject to approval by our admissions team and must satisfy our background check.

Alcohol/Drug Screening

We are committed to providing a supportive, drug- and alcohol-free community to our patients in recovery. We enforce this policy by administering random daily drug screens and sending urine screens to a lab once a week.

Admission Accuracy

To ensure we maintain a safe environment for our program’s capabilities and to help ensure the best care for our patients, all applicants will undergo a detailed admission and telephone review.  We do not accept patients with a history of violent crimes, arson, assault on a female, or sexual assault charges or convictions.

What They Say About Us

"Before coming to Next Step Recovery, my life was in tatters. I felt defeated. The first day I arrived at Next Step, I was swinging. I was so angry. I was lost, hurt, and confused. I was living in paralyzing fear; yet, this place, these people, accepted me... They have shown me that a new life is possible. The staff here helps me grow into a better man every day... I owe the person I am today to Next Step's guidance."

J.C., Beloved Client

"Next Step Recovery is a safe place with people I not only consider a great staff, but also have come to love as family. They treated me with love, compassion, and respect. They helped me see things I couldn't; helped me grow as a person and changed my perspective on many topics. The people at Next Step will forever hold a special place in my heart."

B.D., Beloved Resident

“This is the longest I have ever been clean and Next Step is the reason for that. It has provided me with a safe place to begin my recovery”

T.A., Beloved Resident

"IOP was the perfect activity to both keep my week busy while also being able to fully focus on my recovery. The top notch staff members and therapists made this 12 week program one I will take with me wherever I go."

L.M., Beloved Resident

"I am so grateful for Nextstep and all the staff members. This is definitely the place I needed to come after I got out of treatment. Here I got connected to the recovery community in Asheville and made some good friends here at the houses. Nextstep has not only taught me what I need to do to stay clean but I have learned so many life lessons while I was here. I will stay in contact with Nextstep because this place has given me my life back and for that I am so grateful!"

Z.A., Beloved Resident

"Next Step Recovery was exactly what I needed in the early stages of my recovery! I spent so many years of my life hiding behind a bottle, and I couldn’t take it anymore! Susan and her staff helped me to get back on my feet and start the process moving on and loving life without the use of alcohol or drugs. After my 3 months here with next step, I chose to stay in Asheville and continue to work on my self, with their guidance. I couldn’t imagine my life today if I was still stuck in my old ways, Thank you Next Step Recovery!"

Z.B., Beloved Client

"You may have to leave family, friends and your old life behind as you start recovery. Next Step provides not only a home for you to start over, it gives you a spiritual cleansing. From the staff to my housemates, Next Step has brought a new meaning to recovery. If you let them work with you, you'll find more than a recovery house, you'll find yourself again."

M.R.K., Beloved Resident

My son completed 3 months of sober living at Next Steps Recovery, surrounded by kind, caring and compassionate staff, with all the skill sets required of true professionals to guide and assist him in living a productive, healthy , sober and happy life. He flourished and started to smile and enjoy life again during those three months. He now is starting to build a career for himself and is enjoying the normal things in life that had been missing for so many years. As a family we have been blessed to have been connected with Next Step Recovery. Thank you.
