Samaritan Daytop Village

For more than 60 years, Samaritan Daytop Village has been improving the quality of life for New Yorkers facing adversity. We are nationally recognized for our treatment of substance use disorder as well as the veteran-specific approach we pioneered. Our continuum of services also includes health and mental health care, transitional and supportive housing, educational and vocational assistance, peer-assisted recovery, and specialized programs for adolescents, families and seniors.

Annually, Samaritan Daytop Village serves over 33,000 people at more than 60 facilities throughout New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley.

Our organization is growing rapidly - both in staff size and location. We are looking for dedicated, talented and compassionate individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of others and grow with a leading employer.

From humble beginnings to national inspiration, Samaritan Daytop Village marked its 60th anniversary in 2020.

Over six decades ago, Samaritan Daytop Village had one mission in mind: To make a difference during a deadly heroin epidemic. That mission evolved over the years to respond to new epidemics, a homeless crisis, systemic racism and a pandemic. Samaritan Daytop Village continues to adapt, grow, and thrive to ensure the health and wellbeing of New Yorkers. It is a story where good lives.

At the time this video was made in 2020, Rachel was a Recovery Coach at our Young Mothers Program in Manhattan. The following year, Rachel was promoted to Case Manager.
