Dear Friends,
The story of First Step is a story of people – individuals who turn to us when they are determined
to make a change in their lives. Their successes are many – their stories are inspirational.
As the region’s leader in providing non-profit addiction recovery and prevention programs,
First Step approaches each day with a hopeful outlook similar to our most successful clients.
Despite challenges that result from the near-epidemic rate of substance abuse in our
community and the alarming cuts in funding that we have been forced to absorb, First Step
is imagining a future with a new and expanded residential treatment facility to better serve
the thousands of individuals who will pass through its doors. We are pleased to use this
Annual Report to provide a glimpse of where we are heading.
However, there is work to do before we get there. In 2008, more than 12,000 individuals
were served by First Step’s programs. More than 200 babies are living a healthier life thanks
to their moms’ participation in our Mothers & Infants program. Dozens of men and women
who suffer from an addiction as well as a psychiatric condition such as schizophrenia have
learned that it is possible to find relief from both – thanks to their will and the help of our
highly trained staff. Every day we witness the remarkable determination of individuals who
find the courage to overcome life’s challenges.
All of this is made possible through the leadership of our Board of Directors, the dedication
of our staff and the help of our many community friends. We are grateful for your support.
Thank you.

Dear Friends,
As we celebrate First Step’s 40th anniversary, we continue to be inspired by our mission
to prevent and treat alcohol and drug addictions. Every day, we are struck by the spirit,
tenacity and absolute will of the people we serve. Their determination is unstoppable…
for a more secure, stable existence … and most importantly, for a different future than what
their life has offered.
We look to the future and invite you to join with us as we imagine the possibilities – of a
community that recognizes addiction for the public health care crisis it is, and of public and
private donors who understand that high quality and compassionate addiction treatment
must be a funding priority.
In the late ‘60s, First Step was founded as a storefront counseling center. Today, we envision
a future that includes building a new residential center. Despite current uncertainties in the
economy, we have little choice – the demand for treatment continues to grow, our space is
limited and our clients deserve the very best we can offer them.
The questions seem obvious: If not First Step, who? If not now, when? The answers depend
on you. Our donors have always been important to us. You are critical to our success – please
generously answer our call for help with Building the Possibilities: The Campaign for First Step.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gerald B. Keane, Esquire
Chair, Board of Directors

Treatment taught me a lot of lessons: life skills, perseverance, determination, and not giving up no matter how
bleak things look. You just dust yourself off and get yourself back on track. It does not matter that the odds are
against you – you have to want to succeed.

now more than 50 years old — is held together more by love and band–aids than by
concrete and steel. It is too small, too old and too debilitated to offer continued haven
for the hundreds of individuals annually who seek treatment for their disease.
Our clients… your family, friends and our community deserve better.
Join us as we begin Building the Possibilities: The Campaign for First Step.
Though the shaky economy has given us pause, this project is the right thing to do and
it must be done now. Collectively, we will gather our resolve and resources to ensure
that we provide an environment designed to support and sustain recovery.
“Always bear in mind that our resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”

With your help, we will all succeed.
First Step’s Residential Center...
-
Our Residential Center, located on North Washington Boulevard in Sarasota, is a 13,000 square-foot facility for men and women
involved in one of four intensive treatment programs. Occupying what was once a 1950s era roadside motel, the Residential Center
is known for its comfortable, non-institutional environment – credited by both clients and staff as critical to the recovery process.
Building the Possibilities: The Campaign for First Step will build a new Residential Center in collaboration with government,
community leaders, corporate and individual donors. A best-practice approach will integrate addiction treatment programs with
transitional housing, job training and employment. The result will be a model program focused equally on an individual’s addiction
treatment, sustained recovery and successful return to the community.
The project will be built in several phases, beginning in the spring of 2009. With an estimated price tag of $8 million, the 35,000
square foot first phase will increase the Center’s treatment capacity from 75 to 90, include transitional housing, expand clinical and
counseling space, provide health, wellness and recreational facilities, a campus gathering space, kitchen and dining facilities, as well
as indoor and outdoor contemplative and garden areas. According to the US Green Building Council, First Step’s new Residential
Center will be the first LEED-certified addiction recovery center in the nation.
Fortunately, First Step owns the property adjacent to its existing Residential Center and the site will be the home of the project’s first
phase. When construction is done and phase one is ready for occupancy, the existing motel facility will be demolished and subsequent
phases of construction will begin in that location. They will include additional capacity for individuals seeking treatment, administrative
offices and commercial space intended to enhance First Step’s ability to generate revenue to support its programs and services.

The heart of the community, the 160 seat multi-purpose space, will provide room for all-campus programs and activities designed to
promote rehabilitation and an environment of care.
Dining Room and Kitchen $300,000
The state-of-the-art kitchen will provide the community’s meals and the dining room will serve as a place of fellowship.
Central Plaza $250,000
At the hub of the Residential Center, the Central plaza will bridge the facility’s interior and exterior spaces.
Retreat $250,000
Recognizing the importance of contemplative space to the healing process, the Retreat will provide a quiet place for meditation and

have to suffer in silence. There is hope,
help and healing.

Sandy Seidman – a special friend and donor

Sandy Seidman, former First Step Board member and founding chair of the annual Caring Hearts
Luncheon, lost her battle with cancer in February, just days before this year’s event. Although Sandy
is greatly missed by her friends and family, her spirit for providing opportunity for others lasts.
Having lived for 30 years in Sarasota, Sandy touched countless lives through her support of
area organizations that assist women and children. She was introduced to First Step by her
good friend, Dick Dobbyn, then treasurer of the Board of Directors. Soon after, while serving on
the Board herself, Sandy began to focus her energies on Mothers & Infants, a special residential
program for pregnant women struggling with addiction.
The Caring Hearts Luncheon was Sandy’s vision - a way to provide support to the Mothers
& Infants program, an effort she championed for several years. In 2007, First Step created
the Sandy Seidman Second Step Fund, a scholarship program for women graduating from
Mothers & Infants, as a way to honor her contributions. Thanks to Sandy’s dream and the
fund named in her honor, more than $100,000 has been raised to support the Mothers &
Infants program and the moms who benefit from it.
