Testimonials

Julie, the owner, is a psychiatric and addiction nurse and an extremely good person.  As someone who places people in various living situations I've encountered many SLE's and this one has by far impressed me the most. Extremely helpful, caring, forthright, thoughtful and supportive of the clients.  I give much praise and highly recommend them.

Steps 4 Recovery is everything I could hope for in a Sober Living Environment and so much more! The staff is friendly and helpful and understanding and ALWAYS available. While I was going through a very tough time in my recovery, besides providing an affordable place to live, Steps for Recovery introduced me to a group of peers whose friendships I have been able to count on during times when my addiction had seemed stronger than I am. I will always be grateful for all Steps 4 Recovery has done for me in my time of need. I recommend it to everyone who is transitioning from a program or rehab into Sober Independent Living.

Steps 4 Recovery is a welcoming community of passionate people in recovery. I always seem to find myself smiling because of the positive and humorous vibes in the house. The location of the house itself is very convenient nearby delicious food spots, in a safe location and always plenty of parking. I highly recommend Steps 4 Recovery.

When I accepted my job in the East Bay, I knew I needed a safe and drug free place to call home.  I'm super grateful I stumbled upon Steps 4 Recovery. The last SLE I was in wasn't in a good neighborhood, and the guys there didn't take their recovery seriously. Steps 4 recovery had exactly what I needed. The house in Berkeley is in a great neighborhood in west Berkeley and close to everything.   Also, the ownership and the house manager are always communicating with me and the other guys, and they always know what’s going on with us. I really appreciate that I can communicate if I need help with something. Since I try to either do too much and/or complicate things. I really appreciate how Julie and Victoria are always there to help me figure out how I can make things easier on myself.  Basically Steps 4 recovery is exactly what I needed for a safe transition back into the real world.  Because of Steps for recovery I have a place to call home after a long day at work! and I have peers that are doing the same and have the same goals as I do!  Thank you so much Julie and Victoria.  I couldn't have done this without your help.
