Scoring for this section is based on the organizations ability to provide clear, measurable, client-focused stages of change based on participant participation.
Samaritan Inns' program provides an opportunity for individuals living on the streets and battling the addictions of drugs and alcohol the chance to change and transform their lives. The transformation process begins with acceptance of addiction and dedication to the program model. When men and women enter the Intensive Recovery Program, their spirits have been shattered. The intensity and rigors of the program start to re-shape participants' attitudes and behaviors. During the 28 days, participants gain the skills and knowledge needed to adopt the 12 step, AA/NA principles and the underlying causes of their homelessness and addictions. Following the 28 days, individuals realize the recovery process is a lifetime commitment and the transformation process might take several years.
