Samaritan Daytop Village is nationally recognized for pioneering specialized treatment for male and female veterans struggling with drug and alcohol dependency, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other life challenges. We also provide support services in the community for veterans and their families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
RESIDENTIAL ADDICTION TREATMENT FOR VETERANS --- We understand military veterans share a powerful and strong bond. Our dedicated staff delivers intensive, evidence-based treatment that leverages the veteran’s experience. We address drug and alcohol dependency and veteran-specific concerns such as PTSD, co-occurring disorders, workforce re-integration and relapse prevention, all within a community of veterans in recovery.
Our clinical approach is grounded in the Sanctuary Model, which recognizes the
prevalence of trauma and its impact on all aspects of human functioning. Our treatment philosophy emphasizes safety, respect, empowerment, mutual self-help, personal integrity, peer support and social responsibility.
Services include:
• Individual and Group Addiction Counseling
• Evidence-Based Treatment (including Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Seeking Safety, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy)
• Medication-Assisted Therapy
• Health and Mental Health Care
• Education and Employment Services
• Housing Referral Assistance
• Benefits Counseling
• Family Counseling by Referral
• Recovery Skills Development
• Recreational Activities
We operate three veterans treatment programs:
Women Veterans Program New York’s first residential treatment program dedicated exclusively for female veterans, and veteran family members, in Ulster County. Gender-specific services in a trauma-informed and secure environment provide a place for women
veterans to heal and transition back to their families and society.
43rd STREET VETERANS PROGRAM --- Our flagship treatment facility for male veterans, located in midtown Manhattan, provides unmatched treatment for addiction, PTSD and other life challenges for male veterans. This program has linkages with a range of resources and an outpatient track for veterans within our continuum of care.
ED THOMPSON VETERANS PROGRAM --- Located in Richmond Hill, Queens, this newly renovated state-of-the-art facility for male veterans offers high-quality treatment for drug and alcohol dependency. This program boasts quiet spaces for reading and reflection, community space for bonding, and a trauma-informed treatment approach.
HOUSING FOR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES --- Our growing portfolio of Permanent Supportive Housing Residences provides an affordable apartment, rental assistance and support services to New Yorkers – including veterans – in need of a place to live. A bridge to self-sufficiency, the program generally requires recipients to pay approximately 30% of their monthly adjusted income toward rent while they work toward establishing greater financial stability and self-sufficiency. However, each residence has specific requirements regarding rental assistance. We also provide case management that links clients to needed services and other support in the community.
