• Building bonds with others facing similar struggles, offering mutual encouragement through shared stories of overcoming substance use disorders.
• Developing practical coping mechanisms and relapse prevention strategies that can be used in real-life situations to avoid triggers.
• Gaining motivation from others who have walked the same path, offering hope for a future free from alcohol and drug addiction.
• Learning valuable insights from diverse perspectives enriches the recovery process and helps individuals form a stronger foundation for lasting change.

Stairway believed in me before I believed in myself.

Stairway has changed my life in ways I could not explain! All the staff there have experience with addiction and were able to help me based on their schooling and their experience. It has been a year and a half since I admitted into Stairway. I was broken, homeless, looking at a long term prison sentence, and thought I was a gangster. Now I am employed, go to school, sponsor women and give back to the community, and I am a free women and a productive member of society. Stairway believed in me before I believed in myself. They are the only treatment center that truly cares for addicts and not your money. They have a community that has the strongest bond that you will not find anywhere. And Michael Lynch has a heart of GOLD. He is a true member of Narcotics Anonymous and is so kind and loving to addicts everywhere. I am truly grateful for this program and that is why I continue to stick around even though I completed. I love Stairway.
