Addiction Services

Are you or someone you love being negatively affected by alcohol or drug use? It is important for you to know you don't have to go through it alone. We have help for both the affected individual, as well as the person being affected by another's addiction. Confidential counseling is available by a professional, compassionate team where you are more than a number or statistic.

Treatment and Recovery

Samaritan Medical Center's addiction services program provides quality and compassionate care for the alcohol/chemically dependent client. Treatment of alcohol/drug addictions is comprised of educational and behavioral care. Recovery from addiction includes psychological, emotional, and spiritual care. Samaritan believes in addressing all of these aspects as part of its outpatient program.

A specifically trained and professional staff make up the program's treatment and recovery team. To help ensure quality care for its clients, an excellent client-to-counselor ratio exists. Team members assess and coordinate a goal-oriented individualized treatment plan for each client.

Samaritan realizes discretion and privacy are often concerns of potential clients. Any information obtained from either a client or agency regarding a client is strictly confidential and is protected by Federal Law. Samaritan understands and assures each client's right to confidentiality.

The primary objective of treatment at this agency is to arrest the disease of chemical dependency or co-dependency and to restore the client to an improved or acceptable level of functioning in all areas of their life.

Samaritan's Treatment and Recovery Program is committed to providing effective and comprehensive care to its clients. Therefore, innovative and varied programming is offered including:
