About Samaritan Daytop Village Inc Drug Free Outpatient
Samaritan Daytop Village operates the Drug Free Outpatient Clinic at 144-10 Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, serving a broad cross-section of the borough and beyond. The clinic is part of Samaritan Daytop Village, a large nonprofit health and human services provider that integrates addiction treatment, mental health care, primary health services, housing assistance, alternative education, and care coordination across multiple New York City sites. The organization’s tagline, ‘Where Good Lives,’ reflects its positioning as a community-anchored provider serving people in their most difficult moments.
The Jamaica clinic offers a full spectrum of outpatient programming. Clinical services include medically supervised withdrawal management, outpatient treatment, and intensive outpatient programming, with both cognitive behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment as core therapeutic modalities. The clinic accommodates evening programming for clients who work during the day, recognizing that maintaining employment is often part of stable recovery. Care plans address co-occurring mental health disorders, opioid use disorder, and trauma alongside substance use.
The clinic’s population scope is unusually broad. Samaritan Daytop Village serves adolescents, young adults aged 18 to 25, adults, and older adults, including specialized programming for veterans, pregnant women, individuals on parole or probation, court-ordered clients, and people living with HIV or AIDS. That breadth reflects the organization’s history as a major contractor for New York State’s behavioral health and housing systems, with leadership including Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Carolann Slattery, EdD, LCSW-R, James Hollywood, LCSW, as Vice President of Residential & Recovery Services, and Marilyn Jacob, PhD, LCSW, as Assistant Vice President of Outpatient Treatment.
Accepted coverage is wide, including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, self-pay, sliding-scale fees, financial assistance, and New York state insurance products. Samaritan Daytop Village also operates the CASAC Training Institute and other workforce development programs, signaling a deeper investment in the addiction treatment workforce alongside direct client care.
