Our Mission
We provide those who have recovered with a post-treatment supportive community-based living environment that builds a foundation for a lifetime of sobriety. We began on October 17, 1992, and became Step Ahead, LLC, in September 1995.
Our mission has successfully guided those new to recovery toward long-term sobriety. Today, we are a 501(c)(3) Federally Tax Exempt Charitable Organization, having gained our 501(c)(3) status in September 2004.
