About Us
How We Started
Step 1 Recovery Resources originated years ago as a street initiative by a man in recovery who shared his experience, strength and hope with the most hopeless people on the streets of Charleston. He wanted them to get the help they needed to break free from the grip of Substance Use Disorder.
Since 2014, members of our organization have successfully helped over 100 people get off the streets and on the road to recovery. We created Step 1 Recovery Resources, Inc. to formalize our mission so we can assist many more souls who want recovery and need the resources to move forward.
We Are a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization
Step 1 Recovery obtained IRS 501(c)(3) status in 2023. Through donations and relationships with other community organizations, the goal is to help as many “hopeless” people as possible get the help they desperately want in order to turn their lives around and rejoin society with dignity and sobriety.
Our Future
We hope to place as many people as possible into recovery facilities at no cost to them. Those who qualify (after completing a questionnaire and an over-the-phone interview) will be placed in a South Carolina recovery facility. Placement depends on the funds Step 1 Recovery has available and the beds available at the recovery facilities.
As a local organization, we focus our efforts on residents of the tri-county area of Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester in South Carolina. All facilities we work with are thoroughly vetted and meet our high standards and facility requirements. Helping people find their way from hopelessness to being productive members of society is what we strive for each day.
