Admissions

Samaritan Daytop Village knows the individuals walking through our doors are as diverse as the services we offer, so our process begins with the most important detail – you. Whether referred by one of our many partners, ordered to our services by the court or introduced voluntarily, our first step is to sit down with you for an intake interview. Our compassionate staff interviews you to learn more about your motivation for entering substance use treatment and the history that brings you here.

While paperwork and detailed reviews are necessities, Samaritan Daytop Village does its best to quickly determine the ideal placement to foster your success. Based on your needs and the spectrum of services we offer, our staff places you with the appropriate program and develops an individual treatment plan to lay the ground work for the journey ahead.
