<p><strong>ABOUT NEXT STEP - RESIDENTIAL SERVICES</strong></p> <p>Located in the community of Staples in central Minn., Next Step - Residential Services provides a comprehensive, <strong>long-term residential program for adolescent males (13 to 18)</strong> with substance abuse behavioral issues. The facility also offers <strong>extended and transitional care</strong> for clients residing in the Staples area. Next Step does not accept prospective clients who require medical detox, and residents must be stable upon admission. Next Step is also associated with ANEWAY, a related program under the same ownership and management structure. ANEWAY offers a range of similar and distinct services than Next Step with a focus on providing supplemental support when possible.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The admission process at Next Step - Residential Services begins with a phone interview with an admissions counselor. Clients undergo a biopsychosocial assessment to determine their specific needs. Other admissions requirements may be specified by the facility as needed. Clients must be sober at the time of admission according to drug testing, and have completed a detox program. </p> <p>The facility uses a biopsychosocial model of treatment focusing on addressing substance abuse in every aspect of the client’s life. Evidence-based treatments are combined with 12-step and educational training to create treatments. Treatment includes traditional therapies as well as involvement in 12-step organizations like alcoholics anonymous (AA). Family participation is also an important part of treatment. <strong>Clients must commit to at least 45 days of primary treatment</strong>, as well as <strong>90 days of extended care</strong>, if applicable. The facility partners with Staples Motley School District to provide educational resources and allow clients to continue their education.</p> <p>Unique to Next Step, its H.E.A.R.T. Program promotes healthy lifestyle changes by exposing residents to a range of <strong>leisure and recreational activities</strong>.

Through the program, residents participate in a range of <a href="http://www.recovery.org/9-awesome-and-sober-summertime-activities/" target="_blank">seasonal recreational activities</a>, including <strong>camping, skiing, hiking, and other outdoor activities</strong> that help promote sober fun.</p> <p>Once a client completes residential treatment, Next Step encourages clients to transition into extended care. Clients in extended care continue to receive ongoing assessments and support. In addition, Next Step’s extended care program offers educational services, such as <strong>G.E.D. preparedness courses</strong> and post-secondary options, through a local learning center.
