Our Program
What You Need to Know
We get it and we’ve been there. At Step you’ll get real support and guidance from men who have been through our program and know where you’re coming from. Step will help you get (and stay) clean and sober so you can work toward rebuilding your self-worth and your life — but you have to do the work. While living at Step, you will have to obtain a job and you will have to be an active participant in every aspect of your recovery. Your effort is the only path to progress. If you’re ready to put in the work, we’re ready to help.
