About Steps Together - The Chestnuts
Established in 2017 and led by a team with over 20 years of experience in the addiction treatment, Steps Together is committed to helping individuals and their families struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, and other non-acute mental health conditions. Steps Together offers a combination of residential and outpatient therapy in luxury residential settings. The Chestnuts estate is just 1 of 5 locations Steps Together offers. They work with insurance providers and provide a full continuum of care with detox, residential, and aftercare services.
A Holistic, Personal Approach
Steps Together’s approach rests on 3 pivotal pillars: reset, reframe, and recover. Clinical detoxification allows clients to reset, and therapeutic care helps reframe thinking and sets clients up for long-term recovery. During treatment, Steps Together takes a personalised approach to recovery, offering client-centered therapy like individual talk therapy, art and music therapy, 12-Step groups, and mindfulness. They address substance and behavioral addictions like gambling, pornography, and over working. The mental health conditions they treat include anxiety, stress, depression and low mood, burnout, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), personality disorders, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, Steps Together does not treat complex or acute mental health conditions, ensuring effective care for non-severe issues that can be managed with regular therapy and support.
Expert Staff and a Variety of Treatment Options
Compassion and expertise drive the staff at Steps Together. Their combined experience makes them highly qualified in addiction and mental health treatment, clinically and therapeutically. Clients at The Chestnuts receive detox as needed, led by clinicians for comfort and safety. Residential treatment includes 1:1, group, and family therapy, along with a dedicated room for holistic wellbeing.
Private, Luxurious Living and Aftercare
The Chestnuts is tucked away in a peaceful, rural location in Arnesby Village. Their welcoming home boasts tasteful decor and large social spaces, including a grand dining room, a fully equipped gymnasium, private therapy rooms, beautiful treatment lounges, and an outdoor courtyard with a barbeque area. Steps Together provides 13 private bedroom suites and 2 executive double rooms, along with gourmet meals and refreshments prepared by in-house chefs that can accommodate specific dietary needs.
