The residential facility at Stepping Stone is a co-ed building that accommodates up to 32 clients at a time.

During their stay, clients participate in a structured daily schedule from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., engaging in individual, family, and group counseling sessions, life skills training, addiction education classes, and peer support groups. Additionally, clients are introduced to local self-help groups, facilitating their integration into supportive community networks.
