Next Step Network is a St. Johns County community network connecting people affected by opioid use with support, information, and local recovery resources. Bringing together organizations committed to hope, healing, and recovery, the network encourages open conversations and works to reduce stigma through a compassionate, judgment-free approach. Its services are intended for people seeking help for themselves, those in recovery, families and friends, and community members such as veterans, employers, healthcare professionals, educators, and faith leaders.

Visitors can submit a private, confidential web form so the team can review their needs and connect them with appropriate help. The network’s resource directory covers recovery support groups, treatment, sober living, mental health support for families, and other community resources. Its website also shares personal recovery stories, offers private self-assessment quizzes about opioid use, and lists community events, including support meetings and educational groups. Next Step Network emphasizes that recovery is possible and that people do not have to face the process alone.
