Facility and Meals
During the initial stage of treatment, clients stay at the clinical facility, which offers spacious and comfortable accommodations that feel more home-like than institutional. The bedrooms are double occupancy and there are several common areas throughout the building with couches, comfortable chairs and televisions.
After that first phase is completed, clients move onto the longer term residences, which are about a mile off campus. The living facility is in a quiet and private area in Jacksonville that is heavily wooded and secluded. Clients stay in apartment style complexes that are complete with kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms that are shared between two clients and are fully furnished.
During the first phase clients are served their three meals a day and snacks and dine together with food that is prepared on site by kitchen staff. In the second stage, since there are private kitchens in the apartments, clients do have the option to prepare their own meals, however the facility does still offer them food. The meals are nutritious comfort food along with a full salad bar, juice, sodas, fresh baked desserts and daily ice cream.
Treatment Protocol and Team
Treatment at Stepping Stone is based on a five phase program that begins with medical detox and ends with an IOP. The program usually lasts about six weeks or so and is comprised of structured group and individual therapy along with AA meetings. Once the detox process is completed and clients are stabilized, they participate in an intensive daily schedule of programming first in the residential prgram, then PHP and IOP.
