Post-Discharge Outreach
We know that consistent contact cultivates relationships. After leaving Steps to Recovery, each alumni receives an initial check-in, as well as ongoing scheduled check-ins. During these check-ins, recovery challenges and the needed resources are identified and addressed so our alumni and their families feel supported.

“Str is a phenomenal program. I was so scared walking in there and was immediately embraced as basically a family member. This program contributed significantly-and still does- to my sobriety. I’ve been able to reach almost 2 years now and I can’t thank them enough.”
