Addiction Is An Everyone Problem
Addiction doesn’t just affect one person. It ripples through families, friendships, and careers. When a loved one is struggling, it’s overwhelming to know where to start. The weight of these questions can leave families feeling powerless and alone.
But you don’t have to navigate it alone. We support you and your loved ones to understand and proactively address:
How do we talk about treatment without causing more conflict?
Who can safely get them to detox or rehab?
What if they relapse on the way? Or immediately afterward?
Trusted, Proven Support
for Lasting Change
At Next Step Recovery Specialists, you’ll find professional services along with guides who’ve been there themselves and helped hundreds of people navigate difficult journeys through recovery. Co-founders Leigh and Aviva bring a combined 50+ years of sobriety and two decades of professional recovery work.
They know what early recovery really takes: steady guidance, safe boundaries, and practical help at every step. From interventions to sober companionship to discreet transport, our team is CPR and NARCAN trained and trusted by families, treatment centers, and therapists.
Imagine your loved one arriving safely at detox. Imagine knowing someone experienced is beside them at every meeting and milestone. This is how recovery gains traction and lasts.
We change lives, and our clients and professional network love what we do…
Parent of Client, Hawaii
“My family and I highly recommend Next Step’s services. My daughter is in completely different place today and I don’t know if this permanent change would have been possible without them. We are forever grateful.”
Therapist, San Diego
“They’re discreet, kind, and unbelievably experienced. I trust them completely with my patients.”
Client, San Diego
“I never thought I’d actually make it to rehab. My companion stayed with me the entire trip and helped me believe I could start over.”
Dr. Shakha Gillin, Coast Pediatrics
“I have trusted Aviva for over 10 years, and highly recommend her services to all my patients. She is professional, dedicated, and caring.”
Meet the Founders
Leigh offers 21 years of sobriety and 15 years of hands-on experience as a recovery coach and founder of two successful sober living homes. With a background in professional coaching and a gift for meeting people where they are, she helps clients move beyond early recovery to create meaningful, joy-filled lives. Leigh’s compassionate guidance, steady accountability, and deep personal insight provide the structure and encouragement clients need to build resilience and thrive in long-term sobriety. Her “why” is her two beautiful children and loving relationship, none of which would have been possible without her recovery journey early on in life.
Aviva brings over 29 years of personal sobriety and more than two decades of professional recovery work, giving her a deep understanding of addiction from both the individual and family perspective. Known for her honesty, compassion, and non-judgmental approach, she specializes in guiding clients and their loved ones through every stage of recovery, from interventions and care planning to day-to-day sober companionship. Aviva’s calm presence and practical expertise help families feel supported and confident as they take critical next steps toward lasting healing. Her husband, two children, and 12-year-old German Shephard can attest to her loving presence.
Together, they created Next Step Recovery Specialists to ensure no one has to walk this path alone. They have worked discreetly to create a new life for all types of people, from loved ones who need a little support to celebrities who require an added level of privacy.
