First Step Recovery Center

About First Step Recovery Center – Hesperia, California

First Step Recovery Center, located in Victorville, California, provides alcohol and drug rehab services to adults. Their levels of care include intensive outpatient programs (IOP), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and outpatient treatment.

The medication-assisted treatment program combines FDA-approved medications with mental health counseling. Clients work with staff to identify their core reasons for using addictive substances so they can create new, healthy coping patterns and address underlying issues. They also create a relapse prevention plan.

The intensive outpatient program meets three times per week, for three hours at a time. Individuals engage in mental health counseling, group counseling, relapse prevention planning, skills-building classes, and educational programming. Topics include emotional regulation, working through triggers, and how to repair relationships.

The outpatient program provides the opportunity to work with a mental health counselor to address issues pertaining to addiction and dual diagnosis, along with life challenges.

First Step Recovery Center accepts most insurance plans, including Amerigroup, Anthem, Beacon, Magellan, Cigna, and ComPsych. Out of network benefits may vary, so it’s important to verify coverage with your provider prior to starting treatment.
