Residential Recovery Program

   Steps House offers a residential recovery program for men with alcoholism and drug addiction issues. This program is designed to break the cycle of homelessness in men 18 years of age or older and provides a strict, disciplined environment that is a highly structured course on recovery from addiction, life skills, discipline and responsibility. Our goal is to carry the message to those suffering from addiction that they can change their lives if they have the willingness to do what it takes to be clean, sober and independent.


   Steps House requires a 6 (six) month commitment and the only requirement to live here is that you must have a problem with alcohol and/or drugs and be willing to do whatever it takes to gain a new way of life.
