Admissions accepts calls from families, hospitals & referring professionals
The Belief in the Way
For a lot of men, the decision not to get help was made the moment they assumed treatment was for people with better insurance or more money. They never made the call, because they were sure of the answer. That assumption keeps more men using than almost anything else.
Step One built the Recovery Access Sponsorship Program because that assumption costs lives. As a nonprofit, the organization can approach cost differently than a program that has to protect a margin.
What the Program Is
The Recovery Access Sponsorship Program exists to keep residential treatment within reach for men who would otherwise be turned away by what they can pay. It reflects the organization’s founding work with people facing homelessness and addiction, and it is one of the practical reasons Step One operates as a nonprofit.
The right way to find out what you qualify for is to talk to admissions directly. They will walk through your situation honestly and tell you what options exist.
How to Start
Talk With Admissions
Share your situation with a member of the admissions team, who will explain your treatment and sponsorship options with honesty and compassion.
Explore Every Option
If financial barriers exist, the team will review available resources and discuss whether sponsorship or other solutions may help make treatment possible.
Find the Right Path
If Step One isn't the best fit, you'll receive guidance on other treatment options rather than being left to navigate the process alone.
