Honestly I’ve been through this program twice I graduated the first time February 2024 , I’ve came back and the program just is not what it used to be , the sud counselors refuse to work with you , the class schedule is demanding and the rhetoric continually repeats itself throughout the program , patients are getting discharged left and right for small occurrences. They have a “someone will fill the bed” mentality rather than focusing on what clients they do have , they have turned what was once a magical program into something different. A program that I was once in love with has become a program I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy , club soda is the only worse option. I really pray they find a way to get the magic back because it’s not the peer advocates or even some of the therapists that make this place unbearable. But yet the higher ups ( some of which have been through the program) that have a discharge first mentality. Multiple houses have water pressure issues on top of their beds being of the lowest quality only rivaled by county jail mats, residents are forced to buy food for the whole house out of their pockets. They give you food once a week which consists of what I can only assume is food from catholic charitys , expired bread and two gallons of milk a week for up to 8 residents. The food served at the main centers quality has went way down and the portions are minuscule at best . Although I am Christian , Jesus is and will be crammed down your throat if you choose to attend this program . I’ll be praying for this place god knows they need it.

Next step is ran by a tyrant who will discharge you for standing up for yourself. I would highly suggest that anyone that wants to be treated fairly, not go to next step. And on top of that, money I earned there they will not give me. Even though I've been saving it up for 5 weeks!

The staff here is very family oriented. Truly cares about their clients. Amazing opportunity to go here. 💝

I love this place! It saved my life! God's presence is everywhere around here. The staff are so loving and caring! I suggest this to anyone seriously looking for recovery!

Mod you don’t fit their status quo(being white) don’t even apply they will come up with a bunch of phony demerits to get you discharged. I will be filing a racial discrimination lawsuit against them

Next step has really helped me. It's saved my life. I am very grateful for next step.

This place is really starting to turn my life around I'm so grateful 🙏 the staff is amazing and they actually care about all of us not just a dollar $ign. I would highly recommend this place if your serious about recovery in your life...👌

Awesome place for people who are serious about recovery! They have helped me change my life and the life of many others! Words cannot express my gratitude and love for ALL of the staff of Next Step!
