Overview

Mission

To provide services and facilities for spiritual counseling, physical care and education for substance abuse individuals that need help and have been cleared to come to the program by medical and state personnel.

What it reported doing in 2024

Samaritan colony provides a structured program that educates addicted males about their disease and the recovery process that will enable them to assume responsibility for the treatment of their illness and once again become responsible members of their families and communities. Samaritan colony is a twenty eight day residential facility for the treatment of the disease of addiction. It also provides services for their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
