Next Step Foundation Terra Haute

619 Washington Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47802

Next Step Community is a faith-based recovery organization in Terre Haute, Indiana, dedicated to helping individuals serious about overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol regain an independent, substance-free lifestyle. Founded over a decade ago by co-founders Dana and Ron Simons, it operates as a non-profit ministry providing comprehensive residential and outpatient services in a supportive neighborhood setting within restored historic facilities. The organization's mission is to encourage, empower, and equip clients to build a strong foundation for lasting recovery, viewing recovery as a spiritual journey that emphasizes connection with self, others, and a higher power while remaining open to diverse pathways including 12-step fellowships, medication-assisted treatment (such as Suboxone and Vivitrol), and holistic modalities like yoga, acupuncture detoxification, mindfulness, and EMDR. Services encompass personalized levels of care—Step-In for intensive 24/7 residential support, Step-Down for transitional flexibility with employment opportunities, and Step-Out for ongoing outpatient counseling—along with clinical assessments, individual and group therapy for co-occurring mental health disorders using evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT, peer recovery coaching, life skills and character development classes, spiritual studies, employment and career coaching, and family involvement. Staffed by a dedicated team of licensed therapists, counselors, chaplains, and peers with lived recovery experience, Next Step serves men and women, including those in the criminal justice system through the Recovery Works program, accepting most insurance plans and offering scholarships to ensure accessibility for the underserved.
