You are NOT alone.

We’re here for you, until you can be there for yourself.

Who we are

What you do next may be the most important decision of your life. We believe that every person is worthy of recovery, and deserves to get help from compassionate professionals who’ve walked the path. 

At First Step Recovery, we know that healing can and does occur when clients are met with total acceptance, and given the support needed in a safe environment to overcome the struggle. As a medically licensed, subacute inpatient detox and addiction treatment center, we are deeply committed to providing highly-effective, evidence-based drug and alcohol treatment.

Together with our affiliate, Travco Behavioral Health, we also offer mental health and outpatient addiction services including both medication-assisted treatment and non-medication treatment. This includes Suboxone and Vivitrol (for substance abuse) and Spravato and NeuroStar (for depression).

Read about us, then let’s talk about what’s going on. You don’t have to commit to coming here or even getting treatment to reach out. Just take the first step. We’re here for you.
