Steps to Recovery: Verde Valley Champions Organization of the Year 2018

 

“Our Mission is to provide a safe environment, free from any illicit drugs or alcohol, for people with substance abuse issues. We focus on behavior modifications and are dedicated to consistency, structure, and direction in our homes. We are passionate about our own recovery and want to help others find peace.”

Damien and Anne Browning know what they speak. Their system, Steps to Recovery Homes, was built upon their experiences.

Anne first met Damien in 1983. Both were attending a narcotics anonymous meeting when she was already 20 years sober. “When Damien and I got together, opening a facility is something we talked about from the beginning,” she said.

They wanted to build an in-house recovery facility in the Verde Valley, which was previously unknown.

Damien and Anne ensure Steps to Recovery is not simply a break in the atmosphere.

The program is a holistic look at substance abuse that focuses on all aspects of life. It is not just alcohol abuse, heroin, cocaine, or crystal meth addiction. It is proven to maximize the success of individuals with a substance use disorder.

Steps to Recovery Homes graduates have a real chance at a long-term recovery and a successful life.

It is not just a halfway house. Steps to Recovery provides real recovery homes that are safe, structured, and clean, along with an example-driven behavior modification for the life skills that people need to become productive members of family and society.

Steps to Recovery has a board of directors and sponsors who believe the system will bring new citizens to light.

Steps to Recovery requires residents to contribute hours of community service and attend several hour-long weekly treatment sessions. The patients are not monitored overnight but can be kicked out if they don’t follow the rules.

“We want them to be self-supporting, but if they don’t have that, we try to provide it for them.”

Miracles Happen is a thrift shop listed on eBay; 100 percent of the proceeds of the operation benefit the activities of Steps to Recovery.

Damien and Anne have a spacious facility close to shopping and situated to find easy employment. Hope House accommodates men in various stages of substance abuse.

The six-month program is a support system for people often rejected by their closest relations.

Steps to Recovery Homes provides Life Coaching sessions in areas of our lives that have usually been significantly affected by drug addiction or the abuse of alcohol. Those areas are finance, relationships, personal boundaries, obtaining and securing long-term employment, communication, health and hygiene, parenting, and more.

Treatment and rehabilitation should include all the areas of an individual’s life that have been hindered by continued drug use.

“We provide recovery services and focus on 12-step applications,” said Browning.
