Samaritan Colony

Samaritan Colony's 28-day residential treatment program combines multiple therapeutic methods to address substance use disorders comprehensively. The recovery center utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and 12-step facilitation as core treatment components, supplemented by individual therapy, group therapy, and family counseling sessions. This outpatient program foundation is enhanced by behavioral, social, and recreational therapies that engage different aspects of recovery.

Beyond traditional addiction treatment, the facility emphasizes character-building classes and essential life skills training. These practical components prepare residents for real-world challenges in early recovery, addressing both the clinical and practical aspects of maintaining sobriety. The structured residential environment provides stability while residents develop coping strategies and build connections within the recovery community.

The rehab's clinical team brings diverse credentials and experience to addiction treatment. Clinical Director Barry Hill (MA, LCAS) oversees treatment programming, working alongside licensed clinicians including Richard Corcoran (LCSW) and Robert Smith (CADC). Additional clinical support comes from Christy Wills (BS, QP, NCPSS) and Dr. Robert G. Townsend III (DO), providing comprehensive care coordination.

Executive Director Mark Christopher (CPSS) leads facility operations with his peer support specialist background, while Development Director Maggie Sergio and Operations staff member Nikki Wells ensure smooth program delivery. This combination of clinical expertise and administrative support creates a well-rounded treatment environment for residents pursuing recovery.

Samaritan Colony extends support beyond the initial residential treatment through comprehensive aftercare services. The recovery center provides aftercare counseling services and detailed aftercare planning to help residents transition successfully back to their communities. These services recognize that sustainable recovery requires ongoing support and connection to the broader recovery community.

Recovery housing options and recovery supported housing connections help graduates maintain stable living situations during early recovery. This sober living support addresses one of the most critical factors in preventing relapse - having a safe, substance-free environment during the vulnerable transition period after completing residential treatment. The combination of clinical aftercare and housing support creates a continuum of care extending well beyond the 28-day program.
