What Parents Say
First Step at Lakeview is an addiction recovery treatment facility (not a traditional daycare) that receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from clients. Participants report the program effectively supports recovery, with staff providing compassionate care and practical tools for long-term sobriety. Many graduates credit the facility with transforming their lives and maintaining years of continuous recovery.
First Step at Lakeview is an amazing place to go. The staff is absolutely amazing, you have Ashley Brett and Jan who go above and beyond what they need to to make us feel comfortable and at home. My experience was personable because of them and I really can't thank them enough.
I went to first step for 28 days and graduated. The staff is wonderful. The classes taught me so many coping skills and lots of therapy which was my favorite class at first step. Food was delicious. They helped me get into an Oxford house right after I left and I am still sober to this day!
First step literally saved my life on more than one occasion. I read these other reviews that sadly give them a 1 star making there rating very low. Unfortunately not everyone is ready for recovery and it sounds like these were the ppl who were not quite there yet. You can not blame a facility for your daughter not staying in the program. She chose that path, not First step. Yes there are women fresh out of jail, everyone deserves a chance at recovery. Stating that made for a hostile environment is ridiculous. I have been in recovery for years. And was a chronic relapser. I had been to other treatment facilities. 7 others to be exact and could never make It past 60 to 90 days. I came to first step and managed to get 18 months before my own stupidity caused a short relapse. I then went back to first step with no judgements from any of them and now have over 2 years clean sober with a better life than I could imagine and a recovery that is string with the tools I needed to gain from treatment. I recommend first step to any woman struggling with addiction.
This facility and its staff gave me an opportunity to heal and recover, work on getting custody of my son and learn/work through the traumas I went through in my life and in my addiction. I am very thankful to have been able to take advantage of this program, also which made it possible to enter back in to the work force and maintain stability. Thank you first step, I have 3 years of being clean and many more to come
When you work the program you get what you put into it. I felt very restricted and confined at first with the way the RULES were set up. In time that changed COMPLETELY. While we are coming off drugs we tend to make EVERY REASON to escape the facility or run away from our recovery (same thing we did using drugs escaping reality) but this team of ppl are truly a blessing to me. Without the push from the techs to stay and work this program I would be in a WHOLE DIFFERENT mind set living life very chaotic and unmanageable. It works if you work it!!!
