Next Step Community Solutions is a Texas-based nonprofit organization focused on addressing alcohol and substance abuse through a range of community-centered programs. Originating in 1984 as SCCADA, the group broadened its services in 2011 to help more residents access resources and support, rebranding to its current name to reflect its expanded mission. The organization operates a Community Assistance Service Program that guides individuals to appropriate agencies for assessments and counseling, and a Comprehensive Counseling Program that collaborates with local schools and juvenile probation offices to provide low-cost, full-time counseling led by licensed professionals. In addition to counseling, Next Step offers on-campus initiatives such as suicide prevention with Sources of Strength, youth development through REACH, a Youth Yoga Lab, and a strengths-based photography program called Photovoice. The nonprofit is located in Tyler, covering the surrounding region, and serves a community-focused clientele seeking pathways to healthier, more productive lives. A notable development in recent leadership is the appointment of a new Executive Director in 2023, reflecting ongoing organizational leadership changes.
