The process for acceptance is to submit an application and then schedule an interview with the program director (either phone or in person). If we both agree that Next Step is a good fit, then you will be scheduled for an intake date (usually on a Monday or Wednesday). If there is a waiting list, you will be placed on the list after you interview and scheduled for intake as soon as a bed opens.

The weekly program service fee is $115 and covers housing, three meals a day and all classes and counseling services. There is an additional $10 fee for each drug screen. Two weeks fees are required upfront.

On a case-by-case basis, our staff will work with you on your financial situation. We do have scholarship funds that can be granted to individuals who are good candidates, but lack the upfront funds to enter the program.

Not at this time, however, we are a Recovery Works Provider and we do accept clients that are eligible for coverage under that program.

Your space is limited to a dresser and small closet space. Bring clothes, personal hygiene items, laundry soap, prescription medication, journals, books, and pictures to make your space feel like home. Bedding is supplied. All clothing items must be washed and put through the dryer when you arrive for bed bug prevention. If you smoke, you can bring tobacco products, but all Next Step facilities are smoke-free and there are designated smoking areas. There is no food allowed in the bedrooms, so do not bring personal food items.
