Students apply to live in the Stepping Stones Recovery House voluntarily. They cannot be required to do so by their parents or the court system. Students in the recovery house develop a recovery plan with an addictions specialist on staff at WSU Counseling Services. A typical recovery plan may include individual and group counseling, along with regular attendance at either Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous.

Why Stepping Stones Recovery House?
One of the most difficult transitions in early recovery is the change from alcohol/drug using friends to non-using friends. This transition can be a lonely, high-risk time. The Stepping Stones House provides a safe community in which residents can begin to build sober, healthy relationships, while at the same time, being involved in the mainstream of university life.
