Next Step Village

Table of Contents

Next Step Village is dedicated to providing high-quality transitional and sober living care for people in recovery from drug and alcohol addictions. Our programs are designed to help people transition from the rehab environment, or their home, to a supportive sober living setting. We believe that compassionate outpatient treatment and aftercare services can help residents continue to heal from addiction and embrace long-term recovery.

Our Facilities

At Next Step Village, we provide transitional living and aftercare services for people taking their first steps in recovery. Our semi-private, FARR-certified living accommodations are located in Maitland and Eustis, both a short drive from Orlando, Florida. 

Partial hospitalization, outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are provided within the supportive, structured environments of our Maitland outpatient center or our sister facilities, Orlando Recovery Center and The Recovery Village. Trained staff offer counseling, education and job placement assistance, and facilitate off-site recreational activities.

NSV is absolutely gorgeous. There is a pool and a lake right there. My favorite part of my experience there was getting experience and hope from some of the staff/house managers. Shawna in particular was extremely helpful for me and many of the other women there. She went out of her way to bring the female community together and spent time with each of us individually. She inspired the facility to take us to new meetings and the meeting she recommended saved my life. She really puts her heart into the job and you can tell ahe genuinely cares about each client there. I am still clean 4 years later and I owe alot of it to the strong women I have met along the way. If you are thinking of coming here, I strongly suggest trying to gain as much as you can from the staff that are ACTUALLY in recovery AND work a program. It will save your life. It did mine.

I lived here for 4 months and the staff was caring and supportive. They were always there to help and gave me the structure and accountability to help me start my journey. It is a great place to begin learning how to work a program.

After years of previous attempts at sobriety and multiple grave prognosis's from doctors, Next Step Village was there for our son at the perfect time. The structured, professional and consistent program utilizing a holistic treatment program that addressed the mind, body and heart was the total package he needed at that moment. The director, Troy, played an instrumental role as a therapist, family liaison and friend with a personalized plan tailored to his needs each step of the way. Our son has now been sober for a full year. We have our son back and he is better than ever!

Next Step Village in Maitland, Florida was everything you need to succeed in your journey of recovery. I was a resident here at NSV for three months. The moment I walked in I was greeted by Troy the man in charge. Troy was kind, helpful, supportive, and an all-round great guy throughout my entire stay! Shawna was very nice and was the one who walked me through all of the information I needed to maintain a good recovery plan. Shawna gave me everything I needed for a successful stay at NSV. Shawna was always kind and available for help my entire stay! Daphne and Mike were the house managers who were always extremely kind, funny, very helpful, and responsive to any occasion that arose. The behavioral health techs (BHTs) were incredible and very caring! Chris, Clint, Garret, Ms.B, and Veronica were always so kind to me and if I ever needed assistance they were there at the drop of hat, and always just a phone call away! The facility was clean and well maintained. The view of the lake in the morning was beautiful. Absolutely breath taking! Not only that but the pool gave you an endless view of the lake and maintained a tropical paradise feeling. The modernized community area came with a giant flatscreen T.V. that residents would gather around to share laughs and watch sports, shows and movies! There was a full kitchen with several refrigerators, ovens, plate-ware, and utensils for everything you needed to be a master chef! The games that were available were: Basketball, ping-pong, foosball, Billiards (pool) and a movie theatre room for residents/your new friends to gather and be immersed in a theatre-like environment. Next Step Village was my home away from home. Everyone was so friendly and helpful throughout the whole time. It feels as if you are staying at a hotel and surrounded by people that care about you. It was truly an amazing experience and I HIGHLY recommend Next Step Village amongst other sober living options in Florida! Thank you to the staff of NSV and the facility for being the stepping stone I needed to move forward in my life!

I truly got more than I bargained for with this program. I came thinking I'm going to get off drugs and alcohol I came here and realized it was deeper than that. It was my own personal things I never dealt with. This program the structure and most importantly the love they share here is what makes it different than others. U have to put in the effort but they are always here for you. I've had talks with all of them and they have never turned me away. They always go above and beyond to help any individual. Troy Mike Shauna clynt Daphne mrs B and Chris and even Veronica who seemingly plays a small token helped me when I needed it the most just by listening and letting me vent. They all here are great people and I came with a mindset to get clean and left with a passion for sobriety and the gift of freedom. Next step village in Maitland has helped me tremendously and though I'm gone they still answer the phone if I have to talk to them. Thanks so much for everything forever grateful for your support

As parents of someone who struggled to be successful in alcoholism recovery, Next Step Village, it’s Director-Troy, and the many dedicated Behavioral Therapists, create an environment of accountability and support with a myriad of resources to make life-long recovery a real possibility. As parents, in the last 4 months since our loved one has been a NSV resident, we haven’t felt the anguishing stomach-wrenching helplessness as we watched our loved one deal with addiction. We pray not only for our loved one’s successful life-long recovery but every resident who is currently there or who has been there. God bless the work this Recovery Center does! And God bless the staff who really are angels in helping the residents reach their long term sobriety. Our society needs so many more of these fine facilities.
