The First Step House of Del Ray Beach was founded in 2006 with the primary purpose to help those who still suffer from addiction and alcoholism. The male facilities started with a 28 bed apartment complex and has grown to multiple private units consisting of single family homes and brand new town houses. Some of our locations are equipped with pools and gyms.


Our atmosphere is one of seriousness. We are men on a journey of growth achieved through discipline, accountability and willingness to change. We offer a highly structured family environment with our residents committed to supporting each other through the process of early recovery.

One of my greatest joys is our sense of community. The men of The First Step House celebrate their successes and growth from their failures. We learn that no matter what life presents us there is never a reason to relapse. We talk about our issues and we help each other grow. Our alumni play an important part as well, offering support and guidance as they share their experience to help our current residents.

The First Step is available to those who are serious about changing their life and who are willing to follow guidelines based on 12 step principles that are proven to provide continuous, life long recovery.

With years in recovery I have learned the importance of men helping men in the early stages of recovery. Through my own experience living in a sober and clean environment, the support and structure has given me a strong foundation to stand on and a fulfilling life of recovery.
