About Stepping Stone Manor – Wilmington
If you’re looking for a structured and supportive spot for men in recovery, Stepping Stone Manor in Raleigh, North Carolina might be the kind of place that really makes a difference. It’s a low-intensity residential program for adult men, meaning you still get daily supervision and clinical support but in a setting that feels a lot more like home than a hospital.
This program is designed for guys who are serious about long-term recovery from substance use but maybe still need that extra layer of accountability. You have to be at least 18, willing to engage in counseling and recovery meetings, and able to follow a few basic rules. Some of the rules include staying clean and contributing to room and board. They also do regular random drug and breathalyzer testing to make sure you’re staying clean.
One of the most refreshing things here is how they strike a balance between structure and comfort. The house has a lived-in, welcoming feel. It’s not sterile or institutional, but it’s more like a calm space that makes it easier to focus on recovery without feeling like you’re just another number in the system.
That staff at Stepping Stone Manor use different therapy approaches based on what each resident needs, which helps the guys in the program actually absorb what they’re learning instead of just going through the motions. And the community piece matters a lot too. Residents are expected to attend recovery meetings out of the home and stay actively engaged in their healing.
