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.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Next Step Foundation Terra Haute maps the recovery journey across three distinct tiers: Step-In, Step-Down, and Step-Out. The intensive Step-In residential program provides around-the-clock clinical care for up to 30 days. Clients later transition to Step-Down care to gain flexibility for employment. The Step-Out intensive outpatient program sustains accountability for those living independently.
Therapies
Treatment at this facility relies on a mix of evidence-based clinical practices and holistic healing. Clients work through modalities like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Moral Reconation Therapy. To round out the clinical work, the weekly schedule incorporates somatic tools like Acudetox, guided mindfulness, and recovery yoga.
Addictions
The clinical team here provides comprehensive care for individuals seeking freedom from alcohol and opioid addiction. They embrace a multiple pathways philosophy. This means they treat addiction using whatever approach works best for the individual. Clients can lean on traditional 12-step fellowships or choose medically supervised interventions.
Conditions
Recognizing that many people self-medicate, the licensed therapists at Next Step Foundation Terra Haute treat co-occurring mental health challenges. Their clinical assessments and therapy sessions address underlying mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. Staff members utilize trauma-informed care frameworks to help individuals safely process their emotions.
Issues
A cornerstone of the curriculum at Next Step Foundation Terra Haute focuses on relationship dynamics. To help untangle codependency, the program features dedicated boundaries classes. These sessions teach residents how to set limits and say no without guilt. Staff also support justice-involved individuals with vital life skills and character development.
Programs
Though rooted as a Christian ministry, this community welcomes diverse treatment pathways. Dedicated spiritual courses and Bible studies are readily available. However, secular approaches and medication-based tracks are equally supported. Residents can also join weekly historical neighborhood walks—affectionately called "JayWalking" by the staff—to champion connection and physical wellness.
On-site
Amenities
Clinical groups and social events orbit a lovingly restored 1894 Presbyterian church. This main facility serves as the heart of the community. From there, residents stay in designated group housing located just blocks away. Everyday amenities include three daily meals, a computer lab, individual medication lockboxes, and Sunday visits at the Recovery Café.
Coverage
Payment
To remove financial barriers, Next Step Foundation Terra Haute accepts private plans like Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and CareSource. They also process Indiana Medicaid programs like Hoosier Healthwise. For self-pay clients, the administration offers a sliding fee scale based on income. Generous community scholarships are also available for those lacking coverage.
