Leader in Behavioral Health and Homeless Services

Steppingstone Incorporated offers a variety of services and programs that help individuals and families build a strong foundation for recovery.

Steppingstone has been serving the Fall River community since 1972.

We can continue to be the leader in behavioral health treatment and homeless services.

Number of Deaths from Accidental Overdose

The number of deaths from accidental drug overdoses in Southeastern Massachusetts has increased steadily over the last 5 years. Steppingstone is committed to offering rehabilitation services to those in need.

Nearly 2/3 of the homeless population is currently living on the streets. Steppingstone provides homeless individuals with the tools they need to begin rebuilding their lives – starting with a place to live.

Percentage of Homeless Population Living on the Street

When I first found Steppingstone, I was at rock bottom. I had lost everything to my addiction – my family, my job, my house. I was able to move into the Fall River Men’s Recovery Home, and my life was forever changed for the better. With the support of the amazing people I met through Steppingstone, I can proudly say today that I have been clean and sober for 5 years. I found Steppingstone at my lowest point, and walked away with hope for the future.

Steppingstone helped me get my life back on track. After suffering with anxiety for nearly all of my life, I felt like I had tried everything and was beginning to feel hopeless. A friend recommended Steppingstone’s outpatient program and the mental health services that they provide have really helped me. Without Steppingstone, I know that I would not be able to finally say that I am in a good place in my life.

My gambling addiction had caused me to lose everything. I was living on the streets when I was referred to Steppingstone by a friend. I enrolled in their gambling treatment program and they helped me confront my addiction and get my life back on track. Their peer support group introduced me to people that helped me through my journey. Every day I am thankful that I was able to find Steppingstone to lead me down the road to recovery.
