Last year we handed out over $1,000 dollars in gift cards to the homeless. Our sober living is different from other programs because we get to know our clients, and they are not just a "number". He went through extended primary treatment, a halfway house, sober house, and the apartment that started the network of sober houses that Callan runs today. He found that by sharing his story with newcomers that he was able to touch lives and help others, just as he had been helped when new to recovery.

Support

He filled every one of his empty rooms and found support and purpose through service. One Alcoholic, one Addict helping another he found strength and hope in numbers. With the help of the 12 principles of recovery Jesse opened Steppingstones Recovery Homes in 2022 to give a chance to others who were willing to travel the road of recovery, and need some help along the way. Each Review Hope House has a dedicated house manager whose responsibility is to ensure the well being of the house occupants. All with at least one year of sobriety, the house managers show a commitment to working a 12-step program in their daily lives, and demonstrate through their actions that they can lead by example. Typically having gone through one of the sober houses, house managers encourage house members to talk about what is going on with their lives and recovery, and to help house residents to be accountable to one another.

Each Stepping Stones sober home has a on-site house manager whose responsibility is to ensure the well being of the house occupants. All with at least one year of sobriety, the house managers show a commitment to working a 12-step program in their daily lives, and demonstrate through their actions that they can lead by example. Over the next 3 years, he saw the difference these rules made in his house, and how they helpedthe men in early recovery to stay sober. In 2002, Callan opened a second branch of that houseand ran both residences as sober houses.

At Stepping Stones we charge $675 – $750 per month for rent as well as a one-time $25 admin fee. In addition, there is a $275 – $500 sober deposit which will be returned to you if you stay sober during your stay with us. Stepping Stones has zero tolerance for residents using in our homes and will ask residents to leave the house who don’t adhere to the rules outlined in their lodger agreement. Transitional housing is temporary housing for the working homeless population and is set up to transition their residents to permanent housing.

Being held accountable decreases the likelihood of relapse and helps client become productive members of society. Stepping Stones can assist in providing a safe place to begin your road to recovery.

Unveiling the Benefits of Recovery Homes:

Our Sober Living homes in Saint Paul are designed with your comfort in mind. They’re safe, secure spaces where you can focus on overcoming your addiction and begin your recovery journey without the distractions of the outside world. By being surrounded by other like-minded individuals with similar goals, you’ll receive the constant support and encouragement you need to succeed.

Our founder Jesse was saved by the love, support, and accountability that was created by the sober living home he unintentionally created for himself after finding his own rock bottom. Jesse endured the battles of early sobriety, alone in this now empty house. One day in a 12 step meeting he heard a fellow member who was fighting for their sobriety and had nowhere left to go. Jesse had vacant rooms so he offered his home to this individual under the condition they maintained their sobriety. He didn’t know it at the time, but this would be the first of many Review Review Hope House people he would offer shelter and safe haven to. As time went on he forged his way through his own battles to maintain sobriety.

House Rules

As housemates, they support each other in recovery and hold each other accountable in attending to daily chores and obligations. Our Mission is to help individuals in recovery to bridge the gap from where they are, to where they are going. We offer peer support, encouragement, and a safe stable environment for people as they grow and learn how to thrive in our community! When you have a strong group of guys who strive for a common goal, sobriety, it is very beneficial. Our sober living takes guys out to eat randomly to bond, or even white water rafting. Every year we do something around Christmas to give back to the community.

Accountability

We feel that all an individual should ever need to join a recovery home is the willingness to do so. Regardless of where they come from, how far they have fallen, or how long they have been sober. Everyone recovers at their own pace and needs various levels of support along the way. Our goal is to have multiple levels of homes to help at all stages of recovery to ease the transition from treatment to independently living in the community. Over the next few years, Callan saw his passion for helping others in recovery grow into anetwork of 8 sober houses for men and women, where he continues to work and carry themessage of recovery.
