Im glad i went thru 1st step when i did before the Mr. Dee past. It was a great program where all was on point to where i started working there and then the chaos began with Kelly Day extorting people and causing the rest of the staff to get caught up into the extortion. He brings people on staff that have nothing where he can use their livelyhood or threaten their freedom by sending them back to jail with false accusations. Yes most of his staff that work for 1st step are on probation or has an open case and thats how he ke... read more

Most judges won't even order anyone to or recommend this place any more. That and the Google reviews should tell you somethings not right. .If you really need a good sober living and want to stay sober try James Club Recovery. It's 1000xs better hands down! Hope this place changes for the better soon, if Not I see them shutting it down for sure. Good luck to all you out there and thanks to the few good ones that did work / live there. 🙏

If you want a program that works the 12 steps that will keep you in a safe clean environment I would not recommend first step .The houses aren't in safe area's I dont see much but retreads .I would never reccomend anyone who's serious about staying sober to go here.Fights break out safety was risky 1 star

FIRST OFF FOR THE IDIOT BASHING FIRST STEP MUST BE A CLOWN WHO ENTERED THE PROGRAM JUST FOR A PLACE TO STAY OR WAS TERMINATED FOR VIOLATING ONE OF THE RULES. FIRST STEP IS A STRUCTURE PROGRAM AND THEY HAVE ABOUT A 70% SUCCESS RATE. I ENTERED AND COMPLETED AND IM ACTUALLY DOIN THE BEST IVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. IF IT WASNT FOR THIS PLACE AND MY SPONSOR I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO READ THE DUMB SHIT POSTED ON HERE ABOUT FIRST STEP. THEY TOUGHT ME HOW TO READ AND WRITE. AND AS FAR AS THE BED BUG ISSUE GOES WHY DONT YOU THAN... read more

This place is a joke. 99% of the residents here are on some type of community control. The directors do not give a shit about the clients, and if you ask for help, you will be ignored. I was one of 4 white guys at the complex out of 100+ residents. This facility is located in such a bad neighborhood that I had one of the directors advise me not to walk alone since "a white boy like me would not survive". They claim to have a strict no drug/alcohol use rule, but I personally know of people that were allowed to stay because th... read more
