First Step Farm of WNC Inc is a long-established residential treatment provider in Candler, North Carolina, operating since before 1990. It offers an extended residential program, typically running 60 to 90 days, within a small facility of 10 to 25 beds. The program includes care for gambling addiction, a condition addressed by only a handful of nearby providers, and it serves veterans and military clients specifically.

The center follows a 12-step approach to treatment and offers intervention services, both less common among facilities in the surrounding area. It also provides financing or payment plan options, which may help ease the cost of longer-term care for those weighing their choices.
