Next Step Recovery

Next Step Recovery is a men’s-only intensive outpatient program (IOP) with optional sober living and transitional housing options located in the beautiful city of Asheville, North Carolina. Next Step provides an ideal transition for men ages 18-40 who have completed a residential program, are fresh out of recovery, or have complicated addiction histories involving numerous relapses. Notably, all of the programs are designed for men to also attend to their work responsibilities if needed. Their IOP program employs a 3-pronged strategy that combines rigorous group therapy, 1-on-1 counseling, and 12-Step recovery. Residents will also have the opportunity to participate in adventure therapy activities like hiking, rafting, and exploring as well as martial arts, meditation, and yoga.
At Next Step Recovery, they give both addiction and mental illness the care required—treating them as distinct but connected problems. Their objective is to give every client the help, resources, and therapy they require to get past the difficulties brought on by their dual illness and build a life they can be proud of.
Sober living and transitional housing is not required, but offered. Each patient must decide whether they think they will benefit from a sober living environment. Next Step’s sober living environments offer a comfortable, home-like environment with cozy common areas and rooms shared with 1 other roommate.
Next Step Recovery is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Next Step Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Next Step Recovery offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Next Step Recovery works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
