Description
In rural and impoverished regions of North Carolina, a significant gap exists concerning the availability of affordable, residential treatment facilities for women suffering from substance use disorder and histories of trauma. In the communities we serve, access to available treatment is a social problem, affecting more than just the person needing treatment.
Since 1975, Samaritan Colony has been filling this gap for men, providing residential treatment and aftercare counseling services for over 5000 men and their families. Our family counseling programs and Sunday spiritual services provide an integrated and holistic approach for individuals and their families, wherever they may be on their recovery journey. Local agencies, churches, and schools can rely on Samaritan Colony for collaboration and outreach services because of Samaritan's commitment to educating the community and providing hope that recovery is possible.
As we celebrate our 46 th year, Samaritan Colony is now being called by our community to serve the women of the Sandhills region who are tragically addicted to drugs or alcohol. We have a proven method that has worked well with men. We now want to build a residential facility to serve women and offer a sustainable program where we will hire and train talented staff for this unique, life-changing work.
