At 1st Step Behavioral Health, our substance abuse treatment approach is to meet each individual in their present moment and guide them along a journey through recovery. Some people experience relief or a sense of freedom when realizing they need help with substance abuse, but many will have complex ideas and feelings about confronting those problems. 1st Step Behavioral Health is a drug and alcohol treatment center dedicated to helping people on an individual basis, to discover the steps they will need to take in order to achieve a lasting change. If you or your loved one is suffering from addiction, or any co-occurring mental health conditions, please call us today.

Testimonials
This is the best treatment facility. They really treat you like family they care about their clients and want the best for them this place taught me a lot and I’ll forever be grateful. If it wasn’t for them I probably wouldn’t be alive
This place is amazing!! For them it truly is about helping the addict get and stay clean. NOT about the money. Without them I would be dead or well on my way. I learned how to recover and live in recovery and so much more. I’ve made lifelong friends because we’ve all stayed clean. This place is just different on so many levels. I encourage anyone needing help to go to 1st Step. I beg you to go. You will be eternally grateful!
This is place is a life saver. Everyone in the staff is nice and they truly care for you not like most places. The program is awesome and helped me pinpoint a lot of issues I didn’t see. Vandy is a sweetheart and really goes out of his way to help you out. Highly recommended if you want to fix your life!!!
I’ve never experienced anything like what I’ve experienced here at 1st step. Every single staff member has shown nothing but compassion, integrity and support the whole time I’ve been here. I would suggest this program to ANYONE looking for help and to honestly heal. Thank you to Gus and Miss Debra especially!
First Step has been so good to me. I am grateful for having them as my family. The staff at First Step are caring and loving. They help you by any means necessary for getting the help you need. Thanks to First Step, I'm a better person and continuing to grow with their support. Thank you First Step and I love everyone there.
