I really cannot overstate the amount of help that First Step House provided for me in my time of need.

There have been so many people in my life that I couldn't help; it makes me feel better knowing there are some that I can.

My first day at FSH was when I decided to stop dying, and start doing something about my life.

From the stellar case managers all the way to the program directors, the therapists, even the peer support staff and drivers — ALL of them gave me hope, encouragement, and believed in me during a time when I had none of those things for myself.

I had lost everything and everyone. [...] All of that changed the day I made it to First Step House. I have never been as happy or had as much hope for the future as I do now.

At First Step House they don't offer short-cuts or easy shallow promises. They think long term about what people need to change their lives, and then take action to provide services throughout a person's journey to recovery.
