Firstep Men’s Recovery Program

If you’re looking for an addiction recovery program that’s different from the rest then Firstep Men’s Recovery Program could be the perfect fit. This program is for adult men with drug or alcohol addiction in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Firstep is residential but it’s not actually a residential rehab because it doesn’t directly provide treatment. Instead it’s a sober living home that uses the Social Model. You’re basically sharing a home with other men in recovery in a way that gives you structure and accountability to maintain your sobriety.

But the other aspect of Firstep that’s unique is that it’s also an employment program. Here’s how it works. Firstep partners with employers in the area. You work full time for one of these employers while staying at the Firstep home. It’s a win for everyone because you get a sober living home at no cost to you or your family because the funding comes from the employers and from donations. Plus you get valuable work experience that’ll help you as you build your sober future. You’ll even get transportation to and from work so that’s one less hurdle to overcome.

Firstep also knows that there are some men who will benefit from a sober living environment but who also still need addiction treatment. If that’s you, then they can connect you with a therapist or other outpatient treatment too.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Medically Assisted Detox

The safest way to remove addictive substances from your body after you've become physically dependent is through a medically assisted detox. Usually performed in an inpatient setting, a team of licensed medical professionals are tasked with monitoring your health and helping to minimize the risks and physical discomfort caused by withdrawal symptoms. Medically assisted detox is often the first step in the recovery process. After your body is safely free of substances, you'll likely transition to an inpatient treatment program to continue your recovery.
