Next Step Community Solutions is a 501(c)3 Texas incorporated non-profit organization. Next Step has been located in Tyler, Texas since it was founded in 1984. Originally formed as Sister Communities Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SCCADA), the nonprofit was established in response to the Congress, President, and local community's concern for alcohol and substance abuse. 

In 2011, the board and staff responded to community needs and broadened the available services to provide more citizens with the resources necessary to take their next step to being a healthy and productive contributor to the local community. Simultaneously, the name was changed to Next Step Community Solutions.

The Community Assistance Service Program helps citizens find the services they need to help them or loved ones overcome alcohol and /or substance abuse problems. Next step's staff helps them take that first step of calling the appropriate agency to schedule an assessment or counseling session. 

The Comprehensive Counseling Program works alongside local schools and juvenile probation offices. The full-time counseling services can be delivered for less than the cost of a full-time district employee. The licensed counselors can make professional recommendations and referrals.

Programs that Next Step offers on school campus other than counseling include suicide prevention with Sources of Strength, youth development with REACH, Youth Yoga Lab, and a strengths based photography program, Photovoice.
