About STEPS
STEPS provides evidence based substance use treatment and educational services in Melbourne, Florida, for young adults and adults. Their services include specialized groups for homeless/indigent persons and pregnant and postpartum women who need to be able to bring an infant or young child with them in order to receive services. STEPS addiction treatment services include women’s residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs, outpatient programming, and medication assisted treatment.
The residential program at STEPS is for women and mothers with infants and small children. This program is for those who need a high level of care and accountability during the initial stages of their recovery. They use evidence based practices and treat both addiction and mental health concerns, allowing for those who need dual diagnosis care to participate and benefit from their programming. The therapeutic environment allows for women to foster a sense of belonging and safety that enables healing to take place based on the positive benefits of these relationships. Individual counseling, group counseling, and addiction classes are provided.
Partial hospitalization programming, also referred to as day treatment, is a step down from residential treatment, yet still provides a high level of structure and accountability. This program is best suited for those who have achieved mental and physical stability and are able to return home each day. They use evidence based services such as cognitive behavioral group therapy, network therapy, individual counseling, motivational interviewing, and family intervention as needed.
The outpatient program at STEPS is for those who can reduce the amount of time they spend in treatment each week. This program incorporates evidence based treatment methods through individual and group counseling services.
Medication assisted treatment provides medications along with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and behavioral counseling. FDA approved medications, such as naltrexone, methadone, and buprenorphine, are used to support withdrawal from opioid drugs and to help maintain long term abstinence. By combining medication with mental health treatment, a greater chance of success is achieved for long-term abstinence.

Not quite sure while my post was deleted. Maybe misinterpreted. No I have not completed this program yet and very close to. As I said previously, it truly has been beneficial. Obviously the character arguing in an anger management program has problems. As for the man putting down someone as I have said, “ Cassandra” works harder then most only trying to help. And does a lot more the you. I hope my previous post shows and whoever is the one hating her, open your eyes. Very disrespectful to hate someone trying to help someone. I’m click no on completing because I haven’t but very close.

I am actually disappointed with these reviews. Court ordered or not, this woman works harder then most of her “ people” she has to deal with. Why anyone would put down someone trying to help somebody nowadays blows my mind. Cassandra is a very loving women who takes care of more then most people know. She is very open with clients and clientele. My personal meetings with her have been extremely beneficial. Despite what comments have been made, “EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE” your a piece of s***. Open is open. Private is private. Thank you Cassandra very much. I can not say I won’t see you again but this class has helped by far. A lot of people look for an easy way out.You want something real and life changing, I suggest you ask for her. She absolutely does not put her clients down, nor make fun. The truth hurts sometimes and it’s time to stand up.

The woman who runs the domestic violence punishment class has a bad attitude. There is no other way to explain it. She picks people she does not like, who get taunted incessantly and if they try to explain the truth get thrown out of the class and back to jail, leaving their families destitute. This is not "education". It is arbitrary and endless pnishment based on personal prejudice. Of course she also has favorites who can be absent as often as they like and have no consequences at all.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Financing availableMilitary members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient The Adult Outpatient Programs (Orange, Brevard and Seminole Counties) provide evidence-based substance abuse counseling and educational services to adults. This includes a specialized group for pregnant and post-partum women. Referrals are accepted from various sources including the Florida Department of Corrections, county probation, the Florida Safety Council, pain clinics, Community Based Care (CBC), Family Intervention Services (FIS), Devereux, Children’s Home Society and self-referrals.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
