SimpleSteps Recovery is faith-based and dedicated to helping people in the surrounding Brunswick area.

The program is designed to help those struggling with stubborn habits and addictions.

We believe that Jesus Christ is our higher power.

You too can "break the chains" of addiction in your life!

Have a family member or friend who is struggling? Invite them to join you to try out the program.

Join us on Friday evening at 7:00pm.

Our program meets every Friday evening at 7pm. We meet for about 2 hours. We have a 10-15 break, and free refreshments are provided after our session.

Our program meets at Southwest Baptist Church. The address is 329 North Carpenter Road, Brunswick OHIO 44212. We usually assemble in building A.

We will have a large group meeting with everyone then we will break into smaller groups.

SimpleSteps Recovery is run by a team of dedicated volunteers led by Directors Matt and Jennifer Townhill. Our staff believe in the power of God to deliver people from the strongholds and addictions in our lives. 

The program is absolutely FREE! We do provide resources (such as workbooks and journals) at very low costs that are available for purchase. But there are never any admission fees or attendance fees.

SimpleSteps is not only for struggling addicts but also for those close to them.

No, after the large group meeting we will separate into several men’s and women’s groups.

You have come to the right place. You will find the support you need.

Absolutely, you need support to make it and cope with life.

They are very confidential. What is said in the small group stays in the small group.

Doesn’t matter. This program is open to everyone.

Yes! and at NO COST TO YOU! Childcare, programs for children as well as teens allow SimpleSteps to benefit the entire family.

Simple Steps is a faith based program, which means we use biblical principles not steps on our road to recovery.

The 12 SimpleSteps to Recovery

1. Replace my addiction with a relationship with Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

2. I can never be too dirty for God.

John 10:28 - And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

3. My addiction is a symptom of my sin nature.

4. Trust what God tells me is true.

John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

6. Align my thinking with God’s ways.

Romans 12:1-2 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Philippians 4:9 - Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

7. I am fighting a real spiritual battle every day.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

8. I am accountable to God for my decisions.

Galatians 6:7-9 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Romans 14:12 - So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

10. Following God will help me to overcome my addiction.

1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

11. Leave my past behind me and lean on God for the future.
