The holidays can make it easy to put things off and tell ourselves “after this week” or “after the new year.” But help doesn’t have to wait. Choosing recovery now can be the first step toward more peace, more presence, and more time with the people who matter most.

If you or someone you love is struggling, StepOne Joplin is here to help walk alongside you—no judgment, just support.

📞 StepOne Joplin Intake Line: 417-241-6161

Many people delay treatment during the holidays to keep things “normal,” but your wellbeing can’t wait. Getting help now is a gift to yourself and your future. Recovery doesn’t take away from your family; it gives them the gift of more years with you. StepOne Service is here to walk with you, even through the uncomfortable moments.

The holiday season looks different for everyone. However you’re navigating it, know that choosing what protects your mental health is a strength — not something to apologize for. Support is always available, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

The holidays can bring up complicated emotions and memories. Give yourself permission to recognize your limits without guilt. If certain environments feel triggering, it’s okay to step back. Your peace and safety matter more than any holiday expectation.

Holiday stress is real, but planning ahead can make it easier to manage. Start thinking about what you need now so you don’t feel rushed or pressured later. Set expectations and give yourself room to breathe to stay grounded when the season gets busy. StepOne Service is always here to help you navigate moments like these.

November is National Gratitude Month, and I can’t think of a better time to acknowledge the strength and courage we witness every day here in Joplin. Recovery takes bravery. It takes vulnerability. And watching someone choose hope — even when they’re scared — is one of the most meaningful parts of what we do.

To our patients: thank you for trusting us with such an important chapter of your story.
To our community partners and referral sources: thank you for believing in the work we do and for walking alongside us in support of recovery.
To our team: thank you for showing up with compassion, patience, and heart — every single day.

If you or someone you care about is ready to take that first step, StepOne Service at Mercy Joplin is here to support you. You don’t have to wait, and you don’t have to do it alone.

🌟 Prevention is about empowerment — not fear. Real change happens when we give people the tools, support, and confidence to make healthy choices that last.

If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, StepOne Service can help. Call our confidential intake line at 417-241-6161 to speak with someone today.

Let’s build confidence, not fear. 💪

Fear-based prevention messages might grab attention—but they don’t change behavior. Programs that rely on scare tactics or one-time assemblies show no long-term effect on substance use and may even reduce trust between students and adults. Real prevention empowers young people with skills, support, and follow-up—not fear.

We support approaches that strengthen—not shame—our youth. Let's go beyond ""Just Say No"" and provide prevention education that inspires and teaches decision-making skills that have the greatest long-term impact.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and it’s so important to remember that the impact of abuse doesn’t stop at the relationship itself—it can affect every part of a person’s life, including their health and recovery. 💜

We’re proud that StepOne Service connects people not only to substance use resources but also to supports for safety, healing, and hope.

If you or someone you know needs help, please know you’re not alone and resources are available.

According to the "Survivors and Substance Abuse" report by the Battered Women's Justice Project (BWJP) women with a recent history of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) had nearly six times the risk of problematic alcohol use compared to women with no IPV history.

StepOne is here to connect you to all types of resources when you need help - not just SUD issues. If you need support for domestic violence issues, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1.800.799.SAFE (7233).
