Bay Area First Step
A Peer Based Program Where Recovery Happens
Bay Area First Step is a Peer-Run Organization.
That means we are owned, governed, and managed by peers. This gives us independence and autonomy as a program. Best of all, our peers have lived experience to connect to the recovery community and provide peer support from a place of understanding.
Treatment
Bay Area First Step offers peer-run outpatient substance use disorder treatment programs as well as DUII services. We utilize a holistic approach to treatment. Our treatment programs are client-centered and tailored to each individual.
Housing
We recognize the importance of safe and stable housing in the process of recovery. BAFS believes revitalizing local structures into affordable and supportive housing, where recovery is possible, can transform lives and neighborhoods.
Recovery
There are many different pathways of recovery. We will work with you to create a recovery plan that best suits your individual needs, stages of recovery, and lifestyle. Whether it be 12-Step programs, faith based programs, cultural healing, etc. We are here to support you through your unique journey of recovery with peer support, system navigation and safe supportive housing options.
