All of the counselors are very attentive I like the group therapy sessions you get to hear everyone’s testimonies it makes me feel that I am not alone in the struggle that I am going through.”
I recently completed the First Step Recovery Program. After struggling with addiction for the past 10 years, the staff at First Step was able to teach me the tools I needed to get past it and to cope. They are very helpful and did a lot for me.
Thank you to all who believed in me and continue to do so. I appreciate it. You can do it too!!!
I came in here broken and afraid, when I walked in these doors, I had no idea that FSRC would not only change my life but save it. The love acceptance and support I received will forever be ingrained in my heart and will carry me through my journey as I continue to recover. This place is very special, and I feel blessed God and his angels brought me here.
First step has been the best thing for me since I started coming. I was suffering from an addiction that I couldn’t stop. I desperately needed help and the staff listened and has helped me to beat the addiction. The group meetings and therapist and doctors have given me the strength to add a few more years.
During my time at First Step I have gained the respect for myself that I have always needed. I have the ability to remain sober and navigate through life as a productive member of society. I appreciate all of the caring staff and everything they have done for me.
First Step has changed my life! They have always had an open door for me. The program here has by far exceeded my expectations.
So far my experience has been fantastic. The staff is very welcoming, communicative and timely. They’ve given me plenty of information to really understand the nature and avenue of recovery. Group sessions are small and intimate and give everyone a chance to speak with established boundaries. Whenever a chance to refer to the 12 steps to tie into what we’ve discussed arises, they point it out. I feel that is very important to refer to the mission statement whenever possible. Thanks for being here.
