Residential Treatment and Recovery Community Living
The residential treatment program at Samaritan Recovery Community provides structured addiction treatment within a supportive recovery community environment. Residents live on-site in the dedicated residential treatment building, participating in daily programming while building connections with peers in similar stages of recovery. The facility's 132 licensed beds allow for comprehensive residential care with adequate space for individual and group activities.
Transitional living options bridge the gap between intensive residential treatment and independent community living. This graduated approach helps individuals practice recovery skills in a semi-structured environment while maintaining access to ongoing support and alumni connections. The transitional living building provides a stepping stone for those preparing to return to work, family responsibilities, and community life while staying connected to their recovery network.
Intensive Outpatient and Continuing Care Programs
Samaritan Recovery Community's intensive outpatient program (IOP) serves individuals stepping down from residential treatment as well as those beginning their recovery journey in a less restrictive setting. IOP participants attend structured programming several times per week while living at home or in sober living arrangements, allowing them to maintain work and family commitments while receiving comprehensive addiction treatment.
Standard outpatient programming provides ongoing support for individuals in longer-term recovery who benefit from regular check-ins, group sessions, and continued therapeutic support. These programs create lasting connections within the recovery community, helping participants build the peer networks and accountability systems essential for sustained sobriety and personal growth.
Specialized Programs for Veterans and Diverse Populations
Veterans receive specialized attention within Samaritan Recovery Community's programming, with staff trained to address the unique challenges faced by military personnel in recovery. The center recognizes that veterans may experience specific trauma-related issues, adjustment difficulties, and co-occurring disorders that require tailored approaches within the broader recovery community framework.
Women, including pregnant women, access gender-specific programming that addresses the particular challenges women face in addiction and recovery.
