About Samaritan Inns
Since 1985, Samaritan Inns have been providing programs and resources for individuals in Washington, D.C. who are struggling from substance abuse disorders and homelessness. This treatment facility provides services for men, women, and children and can help with transitional sober living and affordable housing. They accept most insurance plans, Medicaid. Through available government funding, eligible patients can receive treatment for free.
More Than Just a Bed: Programs That Transform
Samaritan Inns’ substance abuse treatment is broken down into three phases. Phase 1 is for adults aged 21 to 65 and is a short-term residential program with up to 25 hours of weekly counseling. Rooming and daily meals are provided as well as 12 Steps meetings, case management and group gatherings.
Phase 2 is gender specific. Folks in this phase are required to undergo a minimum of five hours of weekly counseling to focus on social skills, relapse prevention and community reintegration.
Phase 3 provides affordable sober housing for clients with at least six months of sobriety and stable incomes. Patients can stay in this phase 6-24 months but must maintain sobriety and independence.
Not Just Treatment: Unique Programs and Aftercare
One unique resource at Samaritan Inns is the Women with Children's Program. This allows mothers or pregnant women to live with up to two dependent children under 10 years old in the facility while receiving treatment. During this time, they’ll attend parenting classes and are provided OSSE-certified onsite childcare centers.
Aftercare programs include continued treatment when they return back into their community, GED courses, and life skills classes.
