Step Springs nears completion of residential addiction recovery center for homeless men
A 55-year-old office building in a commercial and industrial zone off Garden of the Gods Road and Interstate 25 has been gutted and stripped down to its interior shell.
Rising out of the wreckage is a new 50-bed rehabilitation center called Step Springs, where addicted men who are homeless or on the verge will get their mojo back and become the best version of themselves.
Paul Scudo, CEO of Step, a men’s substance-use recovery program in Denver and the under-construction Step Springs, said there’s “tremendous need” in Colorado Springs for his nonprofit organization’s services, as an estimated 70% of males in the homeless population are addicted to alcohol or drugs.
