About Steps to Recovery
Steps to Recovery provides multiple outpatient programs for addiction and mental health, either as co-occurring conditions or primary. They offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient care, along with sober living homes. Steps to Recovery provides family therapy, psychoeducation, and a robust alumni program. These programs are available at their locations in Bucks County and Lehigh Valley, PA.
Clients at Steps to Recovery begin treatment with a psychiatric evaluation, family history assessment, and biopsychosocial evaluation to determine their diagnosis and treatment path. Steps to Recovery uses a trauma-informed approach to treatment, helping clients get to the root cause of their addiction. Clients meet 1:1 with their primary therapist twice a week, then once a week as they progress through treatment. Clients can choose their group therapies from an elective list.
Steps to Recovery treats primary mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other personality disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorders. They use a variety of evidence-based therapies to help clients heal, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and eye movement therapy (EMDR). Steps to Recovery also offers lifeskills training to help clients get and maintain a job, go back to school, or learn how to effectively communicate.
Steps to Recovery’s PHP program welcomes clients for 5 days a week, Monday-Friday, from 9-5pm. Clients can live at home or in one of Steps to Recovery’s nearby sober living homes, which offer modern living spaces, tech access, and the option of a private room. Their IOP runs 3 days a week—Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—from either 9-12pm or 6-9pm. Clients in outpatient care meet regularly for 12-Step meetings and therapy sessions.

Steps to Recovery treats co-occurring addiction and mental health conditions at the same time, using dual-diagnosis treatment to help clients heal from both.

Steps to Recovery provides mental health and addiction treatment in multiple care levels and time periods. Clients can progress through gradually less-intensive programs, or begin right in between. The level of intensity decreases from PHP to IOP, and then outpatient and aftercare. Clients can stay in safe sober living homes during PHP, which have random drug tests, daily schedules and light chores, and a unique support system.
Steps to Recovery provides primary mental health treatment for men and women. Their outpatient programs provide specialized group therapies for trauma, depression, and other diagnoses, with 1:1 therapy each week. Steps to Recovery has a 3:1 staff-to-client ratio, helping each client get the individualized attention they need and deserve as they navigate their condition.
Steps to Recovery involves family in the recovery of their loved one, offering family therapy, psychoeducation, and support for family members. After treatment, clients enter into a strong alumni community. Steps to Recovery hosts bi-weekly alumni meetings, events and activities, and a mentorship program, Step Up, to help newly-graduated clients integrate into aftercare.
