First Step Recovery Center

First Steps Recovery (FSR) is an organization that provides a full continuum of treatment programs designed to help people from all walks of life struggling with a substance use disorder (SUD). Headquartered near the Clovis Botanical Gardens in Clovis, California, they offer a medical detox program, residential treatment programs for men and women and partial hospitalization programs. They also have intensive outpatient treatment and even remote counseling.

Comprehensive Care To Support Your Recovery

FSR’s medical detoxification program offers safety and support during the crucial first phase of recovery. Their support team provides round the clock supervision, which includes the medical monitoring of withdrawal symptoms to protect against dangerous side effects.

They may prescribe medications to help reduce your cravings and ease pain. In this phase, the staff may also provide a small measure of counseling to help prepare you for your longer term recovery goals.

Residential Treatment Offering Structure and Stability

Their residential treatment programs are characterized by a structured schedule that includes individual counseling sessions, group sessions, recreational activities and several unique therapy modalities. Therapy modalities used by FSR staff include cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed therapy and family therapy.

Their residential programs also focus on building healthy life skills, general habits and looking after one’s physical health. The staff offers yoga and massage therapy to help look after your body, and their afternoon routine includes time for fitness classes and light hikes.

For clients who enjoy cognitive stimulation, they have educational classes and workshops, and build time for personal reflection into the daily routine as well. One reviewer expressed gratitude to the staff for helping them get started with recovery.
