Individual counseling
Regular one-on-one sessions with a substance use counselor focused on your recovery, your history, and what is driving your use. This is where the most specific, personal work happens.
Stepping Out: Outpatient
Recovery that works with your life
Structured, clinically rigorous treatment for substance use that you can access while continuing to work, care for family, and stay connected to your community.
Not everyone who needs treatment has to step away from their life to get it. Whatever your days look like right now, Stepping Out is built to fit around them. You stay in your community, on a schedule that works for you, while you focus on recovery.
The program flexes to fit. Some people start with intensive group work several times a week. Others come for lighter, once-a-week support and individual counseling. Whether Stepping Out is your starting point or your next step after residential treatment, there is a place for you here. You will not have to sort out which level is right on your own. That is what your first conversation with us is for.
Like everything at Stepping Stone, Stepping Out is LGBTQ+-affirming and grounded in trauma-informed care. You will not have to explain yourself here. The program was built for this community.
The program
What outpatient treatment looks like
Stepping Out provides a structured schedule of individual and group sessions, delivered by licensed clinicians with LGBTQ+ experience. Treatment is built around your specific situation. A plan developed with you, not assigned to you.
Group counseling
Scheduled group sessions covering recovery skills, shared experience, and peer support. Groups are LGBTQ+-affirming throughout.
Trauma-informed therapy
Trauma and substance use are deeply connected for many people, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community. Stepping Out addresses trauma directly, including access to DBT and other evidence-based modalities.
Couples and family support
Recovery affects relationships. For clients who want to involve a partner or family member, however they define family, that option is here.
Relapse prevention
Understanding what leads toward relapse and building real skills to interrupt it. This is part of the program, not added on.
Case management and connection to services
Recovery does not happen in a vacuum. We help connect clients to the broader support they need: housing resources, healthcare, community services.
One continuum
Outpatient is one part of the continuum.
If you need more support than outpatient provides, residential treatment may be the right starting point. If you're building stability after treatment, our sober living homes keep recovery at the center.
Residential
Residential Treatment
For people who need full support to begin recovery. Live-in treatment at our Central Avenue facility, with individualized clinical care, group counseling, and a community built around recovery.
Housing
Sober Living
For people building stability after treatment. Three community homes where recovery stays at the center and the rhythms of everyday life come back into focus.
Wherever you are, we'll meet you there.
