Eric Hammer, NCC, LPC, LCDC - MY NEXT STEP, PLLC

My Next Step is more than an intensive outpatient program. This is a place where one can gain valuable insight into how to live a life free of substances. When in active addiction, it is common to feel alone, lost, and as if there is no way out of the downward spiral life has gone. Walking into the doors at MNS, everyone is welcomed and never judged. The staff members have life experience that qualifies them to understand and offer solutions that have worked for them and so many others. This Christian based program focuses on every aspect of addiction offering family support, individualized treatment planning, and life-long recovery support. They understand that successful recovery is not just graduating from an IOP program but rather, it is a recovery lifestyle that each person is encouraged to remain active in long after completing the program. I thank God for letting me find My Next Step it has saved my life and helped me find my true purpose in life. I would strongly recommend MNS to anyone who is struggling with addiction.

I love this place. I have been to treatment 3 times, worked in treatment twice, and was surrounded by the “treatment world” so to speak down in South Florida. There is NOTHING like this program anywhere I have seen. The quality of care you receive here is nothing to compare to all other places I’ve experienced. The one to one time is truly amazing(and yes for those who know, you DO get the time with the counselor you’re supposed to, and more even if you need it), the intimacy of the groups is incredible and the staff is serious when they say they base treatment on ones individual needs. And it’s nothing flashy, nothing like other places that seem all about the money. These are people in recovery who CARE. Who KNOW. Who check on you when you aren’t being yourself and who will meet you where you are at, but really tho. They keep the doors open for alumni twice a week even! They are not just talking the talk, they are walking the walk. They are setting the standard high here in Amarillo of what treatment should look like. I’ve grown more here than I ever have in years in a short 4-ish months and they still are teaching me more about myself every day. Thank you My Next Step for giving

This program is really strong and has helped my dad a lot. He is a lot happier and doesn’t get as mad as much. He is going on 90 days and going to continue strong.
