About Stepping Stone Stepping Stone does not have space for children. Women with children need to make other arrangements for their childrenÕs care while they are at Stepping Stone. Visits with children are arranged on a case-by-case basis. Stepping Stone is licensed and certified by the State of California Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. (License # 380032AN) FEES A $550 non-refundable admission fee is required prior to admission. This fee covers administrative costs; it also covers the last weekÕs fees, provided a 30 day notice is given. Monthly fees start at $820 ($1020 for a 5-week month). To accommodate resident needs, residents may elect to pay weekly for the first two months. Fees range from $1200 to $220 per week. Fees are charged in advance and must be paid by 9:00 a.m. Monday of each week. Monthly fees cover room and board, as well as individual and group counseling and other programs. This fee includes a $20 per month drug and alcohol testing fee. Fees can be paid in cash or by check or money order (made out to Stepping Stone). Credit cards are accepted with a 3% service fee. FACILITIES Stepping Stone is located in a lovely old Queen Anne Victorian home in the Richmond district of San Francisco. The home accommodates 13 women. New residents share a bedroom with one other woman. There are two single rooms available for women who earn this privilege through successful progress in the program; the rate for these rooms is slightly higher than for double rooms. The home has a large living room, a community dining room, a well-stocked kitchen, a lovely front porch, and a secluded back yard. Golden Gate Park is within easy walking distance. Residents also have access to a shared desktop computer (PC) with a DSL internet connection. Our dog, Skye, brings an added homey touch and loves to be walked to nearby parks. MEALS Balanced and nutritious hot dinners are prepared and served four nights per week. The kitchen is fully stocked and is available for residentsÕ use in preparing other meals. Residents can prepare their own breakfast, pack a lunch each day, and cook the remainder of their evening and weekend meals in the house kitchen. THE PROGRAM Stepping Stone is grounded in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Residents are required to participate in regular AA meetings (both in-house and outside) and to work with an AA sponsor. In addition, the in-house treatment program combines individual and group elements, including an individual treatment plan, Relapse Prevention and Anger Management classes, group counseling, and peer support sessions. LENGTH OF STAY Upon acceptance to the program, residents agree to stay a minimum of six months, but are urged to consider a one-year to 18-month commitment. WHAT TO BRING Although space is limited, Stepping Stone wants each woman to feel comfortable. Residents may bring personal mementos, pictures, reading material, work clothes, and comfy lounging clothes. Residents supply their own personal hygiene products and clothes hangers. Linens are provided by Stepping Stone. |
