About Step Denver – Denver
Step Denver is a residential substance use recovery program for men in Denver, Colorado. They help men without resources and nowhere else to turn take their first steps toward recovery. Their strong peer recovery community connects you with other men that are either going through or have been through the same struggles as you. Alongside these men and your recovery support manager you’ll set goals, complete assignments and gain the knowledge and tools necessary to overcome your addiction.
The program is centered around four pillars including work, sobriety, community and accountability. These pillars facilitate vocational skill acquisition, community support/interaction and accountability through personal responsibility. The goal is to assist you in breaking the cycle of addiction to regain control of your life. Subsequently you can transition to a safe sober environment where you can function as a productive member of your community. The recovery support manager will help you set goals and monitor progress as necessary. These managers comprise program alumni and certified peer recovery coaches. So they’re in a much better position to counsel and guide you in your recovery journey.
You’ll participate in 12 Step fellowship meetings, career counseling and education groups/life skills classes. This program has four phases ranging from stability through development and transition to sober living. Stability involves getting you out of survival mode by providing a safe and supportive environment to start your recovery. So your entry into the program satisfies this phase. In the development phase you’ll be equipped with the tools necessary to stay sober in the real world. You’ll build solid coping and relapse prevention skills through participation in group sessions and 12 Step meetings. The transition phase is all about looking beyond the program. You’ll start building support networks and creating a plan to help you transition to a safe environment.
The last phase is the transition to their sober living home. These homes help you gradually re-enter the community with more privileges while keeping the structure and support of a peer recovery group. At the end of the recovery process, you’ll have rebuilt your self-esteem and dignity and become a healthy, self-sufficient community member. You can join their alumni network for ongoing support and access to community resources after recovery.
