Samaritan Inns launches a new Transitional Living Program
On May 1, Samaritan Inns will be welcoming new residents to its new transitional living program at 1215 Fairmont Street NW.
This new 6-month program will serve about 50 men each year who suffer from substance use disorders. We will provide housing, along with rigorous treatment services and life skills training. The first six months after the initial treatment regimen are the most critical to ensuring lasting sobriety. Each person will receive individual/group counselling using proven evidence-based therapeutic approaches coupled with case management services. Life skills training will include activities such as effective communication, financial management, and employment readiness – with the objective of helping individuals transition into being more independent and responsible members of the community. Our goal is that all participants will be employed and have a solid recovery foundation at program completion. With the addition of this new Transitional Living Program, Samaritan Inns will be the only substance use disorder treatment and recovery provider offering a full residential continuum.

Help Make our Transition Program a Home!
Renovations were recently completed at the Fairmont Inn to house up to 18 men providing a 6 month continuum of care for men in addiction recovery. You can read more about the new transition program here. In December, Samaritan Inns launched a new transitional treatment program and are quickly moving towards accepting our first residents to the program. But we need your help!
The Fairmont Inn is weeks away from a city inspection that will allow it’s doors to officially open to these men. There is a need to outfit the kitchen and quickly prior to that inspection. To make this happen, please use our Walmart kitchen gift registry for the Fairmont Inn and send the link to friends of Samaritan Inns who have been involved with the ministry over the years.
When you give from our wish list, you help make our program a home for those who need it most!
A New Transition Program Arrives at the Fairmont Inn!
On December 11th, Samaritan Inns held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of a new transitional treatment program.
At a time when substance abuse has become a national epidemic, DC has the highest rate of substance abuse in our nation. This new program looks to create long term solutions, linking a 28 day treatment program with our Affordable Housing Recovery Program.
This new program, serving about 50 men each year, applying evidence-based practices to further address the complexity of co-occurring disorder (substance use disorders and mental illness). In the new program, individuals fighting addiction will be able to fortify their newfound physical, emotional, and psychological well-being and begin to learn a new way of life, providing counseling, crisis intervention, GED preparation, financial management, vocational readiness, employment services, and much more.
Special thank you to DAVIS Construction and their contractors for their work in the renovation. We cannot wait to restore hope for so many in this beautiful new home!
