Steppingstones To Recovery

About Steppingstones To Recovery – Augusta

Located in Augusta, Georgia, Steppingstones to Recovery contracts with The Awakening Center to provide men with residential treatment services. The housing is ideal for individuals who are new to their recovery from drugs and alcohol. The Awakening Center sits on five acres of land with three houses available for clients.

Some clients may not necessarily need the level of medical monitoring associated with inpatient hospitalization. The Awakening Center is an alternative that provides you with some watchful oversight while focusing on helping you learn different methods of recovery.

The housing is not far from the treatment center where you will participate in the program. You’ll receive coaching and teachings baked on the 12 Step principles and be encouraged to attend faith based recovery groups and AA/NA groups. The program typically lasts for about six weeks, but you’ll have the option to extend your stay in the recovery residence and continue to practice your recovery skills.

The residence mimics a home-like environment as a way to prepare you to return to your own home and maintain your sobriety. You’ll be expected to manage residential responsibilities as a part of instilling positive life skills.

Steppingstones to Recovery offers outpatient programs as an option for continuing to receive treatment. They have an intensive outpatient program (IOP), general outpatient counseling, and psychiatric treatment. You can also participate in family workshops to educate your close friends and family members on how they can support you in your recovery.

With outpatient treatment giving you more time available to do activities on your own, you can start finding new things to do in Augusta. Some attractions you might enjoy visiting include the Augusta Museum of History and the Phinizy Swamp Nature Park. The Savannah River’s trailheads are also nearby, which takes you across the border to South Carolina.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
