Steps to Recovery Homes, located in Cottonwood, Arizona, is passionate about helping others recover from all addictions while addressing other co-occurring disorders that can act as barriers to living a productive life. Our Wellness programs focus on all aspects of life, not just substance use disorders. Our goal is to guide you through obtaining and maintaining long-term recovery and learning how to live successfully in our world.

Steps to Recovery Homes program Life Coaching sessions address all areas usually significantly affected by drug addiction. For example, substance abuse impacts an individual’s finances, relationships, personal boundaries, and getting and keeping employment, to name a few. Therefore, we believe that treatment (or some say drug rehab) should include all the areas of your life that the continued drug use had hindered.

Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. Even people with severe and chronic substance use disorders can, with help, overcome their illness and regain health and social function. Addiction recovery, the sober life, is called remission. Being in recovery is when those positive changes and values become part of a voluntarily adopted lifestyle.
