Services

While each client follows a separate, individualized treatment plan, the average stay in our Redfield Residential Facility is approximately 10-12 weeks.  Clients live in dormitory style rooms and engage in supervised social, therapeutic, and creative activities at the residence. Clients spend 30+ hours per week engaged in therapeutic groups or one-on-one counseling at STEP2’s Family Counseling Center from 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday.

Groups topics include:

• Addiction Education/Relapse Prevention
• Domestic Violence Education & Prevention
• Parenting in Recovery
• Seeking Safety
• Healthy Relationships/Communication
• Cognitive Behavior Therapy/Dialectal Behavior Therapy
• Trauma Education

Comprehensive life skills and lifestyle services are offered during this time and ongoing through all levels of treatment. Daily routines are established and support is given to clients through 24-hour staffing.

Parenting classes are offered including new born care and lactation consulting.

Nutrition classes are offered in which clients will work with STEP2’s Nutrition Advocate to plan healthy meals on a budget, create shopping lists, grocery shop and prepare meals for up to 20 clients. A portion of the food for STEP2 residential clients comes from the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.

Community Service is encouraged and once a month clients will go to the Food Bank to volunteer. Clients are given the opportunity to exercise and are encouraged to walk our beautiful campus regularly.

Once a client has been in treatment for approximately 3-4 weeks, they are able to access resources in the community, such as obtaining valid identification, and attending to medical, dental, and legal needs.

When clients near the end of residential treatment (approximately 8-10 weeks) they attend an Employment Development Program where they take interest, skill, and personality assessments, build resumes, learn interview skills and have access to interview clothing. All clients who complete this program create a professional resume and are provided transportation for job search and interviews.

Approximately 97% of the women who seek services through STEP2 report being the victim of domestic and/or sexual violence. The staggering numbers of domestic violence victims with co-occurring substance addictions demand seamless access to quality treatment, prevention, and support services. 

STEP2 provides outreach to agencies, facilities, and rural areas, assisting victims in breaking barriers, such as social stigma, poverty, child custody, violence, and education to make the powerful choice to end the cycle of abuse and addiction. Through intensive one-on-one, group therapies, and appropriate referrals, victims will receive evidence-based, holistic, and dynamic treatment. 

Additionally, to assist victims in sustaining recovery, independence, and safety, intensive case management will be provided to provide life skills, employment development, career planning, child care assistance, parenting support, community supports, education, housing, and collaboration with referrals and treatment planning.

Upon successfully completing residential treatment, she is eligible for STEP2’s Transitional Housing program at our Lighthouse Campus, adjacent to the Residential Facility. STEP2’s Lighthouse Campus has 25 newly remodeled cottages ranging from one, two, and three bedrooms, complete with in-unit dishwashers, washers, and dryers.

A woman AND her children move into a fully furnished home–furnished entirely by community donations–and upon successful completion of treatment, she will take all furnishings with her when she moves to her next home.

STEP2 partners with courts, CPS, and other agencies to support moms in reunifying with their minor children, so children can come to our campus and reside with moms in their cottages.

Clients will pay rent with the 1^st month free, 2^nd month only 1/2 of rent, and the 3^rd and 4^th month full rent. Lighthouse residents are encouraged to stay for a year, but exceptions can always be made to ensure there is a roof over her head until future housing arrangements are solidified. STEP2 is also able to provide positive rental history references for clients who are financially compliant.

Clients will receive case management services to address monthly budgets, schedule, child care, TANF, resources and future housing.

Residents plan, maintain, and consume food from our community garden on campus. Tending to our garden is a beneficial way for residents to get sunshine and exercise outside, reduce stress and anxiety, provide access to free and nutritious fruits of their labor, and can feel proud of their contribution. We encourage all residents to take advantage of our community garden!

Partnerships in the community allow for clients to enter into the workforce smoothly and for them to receive ongoing support to attain employment that provides a livable wage.

Clients form a “Community Council” and are responsible for maintaining a healthy and active community, as well as giving back in the form of peer mentorship to residential clients and community service by maintaining the campus and garden.
