Admissions
The individuals we treat are as diverse as the services we offer. So, our process begins with the most important detail – you.
You may have been referred by one of our many partners, ordered to our services by the court, or chosen voluntarily to receive treatment. We always begin with an in-person intake interview. At the intake, our compassionate staff learns about your motivation for entering substance use treatment and the history that brings you to us.
Paperwork and detailed reviews are necessary and sometimes can be time-intensive. Yet, Samaritan Daytop Village works quickly to determine your ideal placement for success. Based on your needs and the spectrum of services we offer, our staff also develops an individual treatment plan to lay the groundwork for the journey ahead.

Placement into a Program
Our knowledgeable Admissions Specialist interviews you to learn more about your motivation to enter treatment and the history that brings you here. Samaritan Daytop Village works quickly to determine the ideal placement for your success.
Our staff identifies and reserves your placement in one of our programs. With the patient’s input, the Admissions Specialist develops a treatment plan in consultation with you and staff clinicians. We also coordinate with third-party referents and family members, as well as follow up on requests for more information.
Referrals Process
We accept referrals from individuals, their family members, or third-party referents (healthcare providers, criminal justice partners, military groups, and community organizations).
Once we receive your referral, we contact you for an over-the-phone assessment, followed by an in-person appointment to complete the intake process. In-person appointments take place during business hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
It is recommended that any medical, judicial, military, or other relevant paperwork be provided at the appointment.
