The mission of the Samadhi Center, Inc. is to end suffering from addiction, mental illness, and homelessness through person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassionate supportive services. Samadhis philosophy revolves around our use of Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPAs), individuals with lived experience of addiction and mental health issues, to support individuals through all stages of their recovery. Samadhis long-term mission is to establish a complete continuum of care that starts with our direct outreach, calls to our 24/7 hotline, and walk-ins to our Recovery Community Center, and eventually leads to our outpatient treatment services, long-term peer support, supportive housing, and fostering of purpose through employment and education.

How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Harm Reduction-Centered Treatment
    methodology: harm_reduction
    By applying integrative harm reduction psychotherapy and meeting individuals where they are, we reduce drug-related harms and support engagement in recovery because non-coercive, individualized care increases accessibility and sustainability of treatment without requiring abstinence as a precondition.
  • Mindfulness-Based Recovery
    methodology: mindfulness_based_recovery
    By integrating mindfulness practices, meditation, and dialectical behavior therapy into addiction treatment, we disrupt automatic addictive behaviors and support lasting recovery because cultivating present-moment awareness and self-compassion reduces shame and breaks cycles of compulsive behavior.
  • Peer-Supported Recovery Framework
    methodology: peer_support_model
    By leveraging lived experience through Certified Recovery Peer Advocates and peer-led support, we build trust and reduce stigma because shared experience fosters authentic connection and sustained engagement across all stages of recovery.
  • Strengths-Based, Compassionate Healing Approach
    methodology: health-based_compassionate_approach
    By focusing on personal strengths, self-compassion, and meaningful living rather than pathology or powerlessness, we promote resilience and recovery because this health-centered, compassionate model fosters dignity, reduces shame, and supports long-term behavioral change.
  • Trauma-Informed Care Model
    methodology: trauma_informed_care
    By prioritizing understanding of personal trauma history over symptom labeling, we address the root causes of addiction because healing from trauma enables sustainable recovery, shifting focus from "what is wrong" to "what happened."
