First Step is an alcohol and substance abuse treatment center located in Staples, Minnesota, serving individuals seeking recovery from addiction and those mandated to treatment through the criminal justice system. Situated at 518 2nd Avenue NE in Staples, MN 56479, First Step provides accessible, community-based care for residents throughout the region. The facility specializes in supporting DUI and DWI offenders while offering comprehensive substance abuse treatment to help individuals achieve lasting recovery.
First Step offers outpatient substance abuse treatment, which allows individuals to receive care while maintaining their daily responsibilities at home, work, or school. This level of care is ideal for people with stable housing and a supportive environment who need professional treatment but do not require 24-hour supervision. The facility combines health and substance abuse services, meaning patients receive integrated medical and behavioral health support to address the root causes of addiction. For individuals ordered by courts to complete treatment as part of DUI or DWI sentencing, First Step provides evidence-based programming that meets legal requirements while supporting genuine recovery.
First Step accepts a wide range of payment options to ensure that cost is never a barrier to treatment. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and state-financed programs, in addition to self-payment options. Insurance coverage for substance abuse treatment is protected under the Mental Health Parity Act, which requires insurers to provide equal coverage for mental health and substance abuse treatment as they do for other medical conditions. If you have questions about whether your specific insurance plan is accepted, the admissions team can verify your coverage quickly and thoroughly.
If you or a loved one is struggling with alcohol or substance abuse, or if you have been ordered to complete treatment following a DUI or DWI conviction, First Step in Staples is here to help. Contact the facility today at (218) 894-0034 to speak with a compassionate admissions specialist who can answer your questions, discuss treatment options, and guide you through the intake process.
