Samaritan Recovery Community

What Samaritan Recovery Community does

Samaritan Recovery Community is a private, non-profit behavioral health provider headquartered at 410 South 5th Street in Nashville, Tennessee, operating continuously since its 1964 founding by community members concerned about homelessness. The organization delivers treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through six interconnected programs on a single campus: an integrated Co-Occurring Program, a 28-day Intensive Residential Program, a 90-day Transitional Living Program, weekly Continuing Care, a short-term opioid Respite Program, and a Family Program supported by an active Alumni Association. The clinical model is built on 12-step philosophy, individual and group counseling, psycho-social assessment, health and nutritional counseling, and 24/7 credentialed staffing that includes Licensed Clinical Social Workers, a Medical Director, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors, Psychologists, and Certified Peer Recovery Specialists. The facility is CARF-accredited, holds 132 licensed treatment beds, and reports serving more than 1,000 individuals annually with a 70%+ program completion rate.

The business model blends fee-for-service with public funding and philanthropy. Self-pay rates are published at $6,000 for the 28-day Intensive Residential Program, $50 per Intensive Outpatient session (three per week), and $7,200 for the 90-day Transitional Living Program; the organization accepts all TennCare plans and many commercial/exchange plans, with individual financial assessments used to determine eligibility for federal block grants and other subsidy programs. Additional funding comes from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and from donations and volunteer contributions that offset the cost of services. Distribution is direct, with a multi-channel admissions office (online pre-screen, telephone screening, walk-in assessment) and a referral partnership with the Metro Nashville Police Department Overdose Unit.

Recent strategic activity indicates incremental expansion: new buildings are under construction on the East Nashville campus (including the Shelby House groundbreaking), a partnership with Holladay Ventures extends the organization's reach into recovery-supportive affordable housing, and a 2026 courtyard mural installation funded by a Metro Arts Nashville grant enhances the therapeutic environment. Dr. Mark Lasko serves as Executive Director, supported by a clinical director, a director of admissions, and a board of directors drawn from the Nashville business and civic community. Operations remain concentrated in Middle Tennessee with no disclosed geographic expansion, M&A activity, or external capital raises.

Direct peers

• Cumberland Heights: Nashville-based nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering residential, outpatient, and recovery housing programs. Most direct comparable to Samaritan given shared Tennessee geography, nonprofit model, full continuum of care, and 12-step orientation.
• Freeman Recovery Center: Tennessee-based addiction treatment and dual-diagnosis provider. Already a Burnt Bridges event co-sponsor and targets the same Middle Tennessee population, directly competing for the same referrals and insured clients.
• Park Center: Nashville-based nonprofit providing comprehensive substance use and mental health treatment, recovery housing, and workforce development. Closely comparable in mission, Nashville footprint, and integrated SUD/behavioral health programming.

Regional players

• Buffalo Valley: Tennessee-based nonprofit providing residential and outpatient addiction treatment, recovery housing, and vocational services. Operates multiple sites in Tennessee with similar program mix to Samaritan's residential and halfway house offerings.
• Talbott Recovery: Atlanta-based addiction treatment program historically associated with the Talbott Recovery Campus. Comparable in residential SUD treatment model and professional population focus, but serves the Southeast U.S. rather than Middle Tennessee.

Broad incumbents

• Centerstone: One of the largest nonprofit behavioral health providers in the U.S., with a major Tennessee footprint delivering mental health, substance use, and recovery services. Comparable in non-profit model and integrated care approach, but operates at a much larger scale.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: National nonprofit leader in addiction treatment, education, and research. Comparable in mission, 12-step orientation, and residential treatment model, but with a multi-state footprint and substantially larger clinical scale than Samaritan.
• Acadia Healthcare: Large publicly traded behavioral healthcare operator with extensive residential and outpatient substance use treatment capacity. Overlaps with Samaritan on residential SUD treatment but operates a much broader portfolio at a national scale.
• HCA Healthcare / TriStar Health: Major hospital and care network operating across Middle Tennessee, including behavioral health services. Already a Samaritan event sponsor and a key referral source for higher-acuity patients; competes more broadly than purely in SUD.

Emerging players

• Cornerstone of Recovery: Tennessee-based addiction treatment provider offering inpatient, outpatient, and recovery housing programs. Comparable in program mix and regional positioning, but at a smaller and more recently scaled operation than Samaritan.
