About this Recovery House
The Nextep – 8401 Cypress Lake Drive is a women's sober living home in Fort Myers, Florida, in Lee County. It is one of two Nextep houses on Cypress Lake Drive and one of twelve the operator runs across Southwest Florida.
A Women's Sober House on Cypress Lake Drive
Cypress Lake Drive runs through a dense south Fort Myers residential and commercial corridor near Gladiolus Drive, with grocery stores, medical offices and LeeTran bus service within walking distance. This particular address houses women, and every rule, chore assignment and meeting requirement in the house is written for that population.
Medication-Assisted Treatment Through the Nextep's Outpatient Program
The Nextep's clinical program includes medication-assisted treatment alongside standard outpatient counseling, and residents of this house who are prescribed buprenorphine or methadone can continue that treatment while living here. That matters because losing sober housing over a prescribed medication is common in the industry, and it can cost someone their treatment along with their address.
How Florida Certifies Recovery Residences
Recovery residence certification in Florida runs through a single body, the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, and it is entirely voluntary under state law. A certified home commits to a code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and a complaint process outside the house. Because certification status can change and this listing does not carry a verified current status, anyone considering the Cypress Lake Drive house should confirm directly with The Nextep.
Fort Myers's Place in Southwest Florida Recovery Housing
As the seat of Lee County, Fort Myers holds the region's hospital system, its community college campus and most of its outpatient treatment providers, which is why Southwest Florida's recovery housing concentrates here and in neighboring Cape Coral. A resident on Cypress Lake Drive can reach that entire network without crossing county lines.
Structure and the Weekly Rhythm at This Fort Myers Sober Living Home
Like every Nextep residence, this house runs on a four-stage self-empowerment model: structure, commitment, motivation and service. Residents keep a chore rotation, attend weekly 12-step meetings, hold to a curfew, and stay financially self-supporting through work, a job search or school, with drug testing enforcing the arrangement.
