Our Core Beliefs

Addiction is a brain disease.

Addiction is a medical condition with complex causes and research-proven methods of treatment. Just like other diseases, such as diabetes, addiction can be managed, and the brain can function normally once again through sobriety and recovery.

Stigma and recovery don’t mix.

Recovery is not about shame, guilt, or stigma. Recovery is about hope.

Recovery starts with you.

The first step in recovery is understanding that you have a disease. It doesn’t matter how you got here, but what you do now. Find help today.

Recovery is better together.

You are not alone. More than 23 million people in the U.S. suffer from addiction—that’s almost 10 percent! At Stepworks, you’ll find that recovery is better when you’re surrounded by a group of supportive people seeking the same goal.
