Steps House provides transitional housing and comprehensive support services in Knoxville, Tennessee to men recovering from substance abuse and homelessness. They have specialized treatment for veterans here too. They will provide you with the tools and resources necessary for recovery and stability. You will have to pay a weekly fee, but if you cannot afford it they will allow you to back pay once you gain employment.
You will be in a structured and sober living environment that helps you stay accountable for your recovery. They provide both short-term and long-term housing which depends on individual needs.
They will encourage you to participate in recovery programs and life skills classes that address essential areas such as communication, employment readiness and financial management.The goal is to give you a roof over your head while you develop the skills and lay the foundation for your independent new life.
They do offer case management services. You will work with a case manager to develop a personalized recovery plan, set goals and receive ongoing support throughout your journey. I do like that they will help you find employment and access community resources.
What stood out to me is that they create a supportive environment. You will be able to build relationships with your peers who understand the challenges of recovery.
Part of recovery is finding ways to be fulfilled and enjoy life without drugs and alcohol. There are so many things to do near the house that you can explore. Market Square is a public space with shops and outdoor cafes. About 20 minutes away is the Ijams Nature Center, where you will be able to enjoy the walking trails and outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking.
