Next Step Recovery is a young organization with a remarkable story.Just four years ago, many people told our Founder and Director, Susan Stader, that getting a transitional living facility started in Asheville would be impossible.After all, two facilities had just closed down.But through will and skill, and because its services are so needed, Next Step Recovery was not only born but has survived its infancy and is growing like a teenager.

Next Step Recovery now serves women as well as men. It has a proven track record, a waiting list, and a growing reputation for excellence.As a Board, we would accept nothing less.We know how vitally important this work is. 

Next Step Recovery does not receive any financial support from the government. The entry fees and rent from our residents, most of very modest means, provide the bulk of our operating funds.We now need to supplement these funds and the small grants we have received with contributions from you, our community.

So we are taking Our Next Step.

This is the name for our new annual campaign to provide the tradition of giving needed to maintain our quality care, improve our facilities, and to make the Next Step Recovery program sustainable long term.The needs are many: funding treatment for those who can't afford the entry fee, retaining high quality staff with salaries that are at an appropriate level, providing a van for our new women's facility, building a mortgage fund so we can invest in the buildings that house our programs, and more.

We invite you to take Our Next Step with us by making a contribution to Next Step Recovery's annual campaign. You can learn more by clicking on the graphic above. You can make your contribution by contacting Susan Stader at 828-350-9960 or by email at susan@nextsteprecovery.com.
