Next Step Village - Maitland

Aug 8th, 2021

My experience at the Next Step village was absolutely amazing. After I left a 46 day treatment I immediately moved in and was shown nothing but love, compassion, accountability and the recovery lifestyle that I needed. I never thought that sober living was going to be something that I would enjoy but in all honesty it was everything that I needed. The staff was always very respectful not only to just myself and my needs but everyone around. A lot may say that the staff might be “mean “ or “unfriendly” but that’s not the case. They hold the addict accountable for their actions which at least in my case saved my life. I now have two years and four months clean and I don’t think that I would have made it this far if it wasn’t for the next step village the connections to people I made there. And the view was an AMAZING bonus!

I lived at NSV for 13 months, never imagined I would have stayed that long! IT CHANGED MY LIFE! I have learned so many tools how to live on my own. I would have never made it without the amazing staff! Shawna, you are the BEST, always there with a smile, listened and gave the best advice! Then there was Mrs. B, I love ❤️ this woman🌹we had the best relationship, we talked so much, she was and still is my NSV Mom. Daphnia, loved having you there, when I was stressed etc, you calmed me down and we would figured out the problem together. Chris, I know I drove you bonkers :) thank you so much for the talks we had upstairs. Nicole, we met at the end, you have such positive energy that makes anyone happy and you were so easy to talk to! I AM TODAY “19” months sober! Learn the NSV program and YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE FOREVER! If you are thinking about going there, don’t hesitate- pick up the phone

I cannot say enough great things about Next Step Village (NSV). While attending a detox program my loving family spent a lot of time and effort researching and comparing places for me to go to continue my recovery. NSV was the top of the list. After arriving in December of 2019 I quickly knew that this was the right place for me. The staff was absolutely amazing. I didn't feel like a number, they each treated me special and got to know me for who I am. They offered love, support and guidance when needed...even if I thought I didn't need it. It was nice to have caring people who I could relate to with me as I continued my journey. NSV offered meetings and classes that helped me learn how to deal with life and how to stay clean and sober. I really like that you have freedom there so it doesn't feel like you are locked away somewhere. They give you enough rope to hang yourself. With those freedoms they offer comes responsibility and accountability. NSV helps keep you on track while allowing you to live your life. I had some roommates during my time there and I grew really close to some of them. It's a nice setup where you can be alone if you want to, but there are always people around if you need someone to talk to. This includes the wonderful staff. They were always there for me whenever I needed someone or when I was going through something. Overall this place helped save my life. I highly recommend Next Step Village for anyone that is serious about wanting to get clean and sober and stay clean and sober!

NSV is absolutely gorgeous. There is a pool and a lake right there. My favorite part of my experience there was getting experience and hope from some of the staff/house managers. Shawna in particular was extremely helpful for me and many of the other women there. She went out of her way to bring the female community together and spent time with each of us individually. She inspired the facility to take us to new meetings and the meeting she recommended saved my life. She really puts her heart into the job and you can tell ahe genuinely cares about each client there. I am still clean 4 years later and I owe alot of it to the strong women I have met along the way. If you are thinking of coming here, I strongly suggest trying to gain as much as you can from the staff that are ACTUALLY in recovery AND work a program. It will save your life. It did mine.
