A Step Up

A Step Up is a live-in social rehab program in Cotati, California operated by Community Support Network for adults navigating addiction and co-occurring behavioral health concerns.

The program serves adults 18 to 59 through long-term residential care that blends support groups, case management and relapse prevention.

Its mission is to help residents build the coping skills, independence and stability needed for lasting recovery in a structured home environment.

Residential Dual Diagnosis Recovery

I found that A Step Up specializes in long-term residential treatment for adults with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, with stays ranging from approximately 3 to 12 months.

The 11-bed home offers a small supportive setting where residents receive 24/7 staff support while practicing daily living and recovery skills.

Daily programming includes structured support groups, recovery-oriented counseling, motivational interviewing, CBT, trauma-informed care and relapse prevention planning.

Residents are also encouraged to participate in AA, NA, 12-Step, Seeking Safety and dual recovery groups to strengthen community connection and accountability.

Building Independence and Social Rehabilitation

Beyond clinical support,  I am impressed that A Step Up emphasizes social rehabilitation by helping residents develop independent living and social skills.

Groups focus on practical tools for managing daily responsibilities, healthy relationships and sustained wellness, preparing residents to transition confidently back into the community.
