Feb 5, 2026 | Cast11, SignalsAZ

In this episode of Signals AZ, we sit down with Quinton Ellis and Damien Browning from Steps to Recovery, a nonprofit organization transforming lives across the Verde Valley.

What started as a sober living home has grown into a comprehensive recovery ecosystem. Offering outpatient treatment, structured and transitional housing, job development, community education, and real pathways back into society.

Steps to Recovery

We dive into how Steps to Recovery helps individuals experiencing addiction and homelessness rebuild their lives from the inside out. Focusing on emotional intelligence, job readiness, self-worth, and long-term stability.

The conversation also highlights their upcoming Cottonwood Job Fair. Designed to connect job seekers with real employers while fostering economic growth in the community.

From mock interviews and paid job-readiness programs to restoring dignity and purpose, this episode explores what it truly means to heal the whole person, and why recovery doesn’t end at sobriety.
