Addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects individuals from all walks of life. It is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive seeking and use of substances despite negative consequences. Addiction can take many forms, including substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, and process addictions.
At our Fresno rehab center, we understand that addiction is not a moral failing but a treatable medical condition that requires comprehensive care and support. Our approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each individual receives the personalized care they need to overcome addiction and reclaim their lives.

Substance abuse and substance use disorder (SUD) are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings. Substance abuse refers to the misuse of substances, such as alcohol or drugs, in a way that can lead to negative consequences. Substance use disorder, on the other hand, is a diagnosable condition characterized by a pattern of substance use that leads to significant impairment or distress.
At First Steps Recovery, we offer substance abuse treatment programs that address the underlying causes of SUD and provide individuals with the tools and support they need to achieve lasting recovery. Our comprehensive treatment programs are designed to help individuals understand their addiction, develop coping strategies, and build a foundation for a healthier future.
At First Steps Recovery, you or your loved one will be brought into a safe, clean and caring environment, to gather the strength to take the first steps toward full recovery. Residential treatment is the term used to describe the process by which a person lives in a controlled and safe environment to begin the recovery process.
Effective treatment for drug addiction requires evidence-based approaches and customized strategies to meet individual needs. That’s why treatment specialists carefully guide residents through the entire process of transitioning back into real life to better ensure their complete recovery.
