Safety and Security

Your daughter’s safety is of paramount importance at The Samaritan Women.  All of our staff undergo a background investigation and adhere to our strict code of conduct.  Ours is a smoke, alcohol and drug- free environment.

This facility offers 24-hour supervision in a minimum security environment.  We are not considered a “locked” facility.  Some residents may be granted access off the property as her Individual Action Plan, custodial agreement, and conduct warrants.

Clients may be subject to a comprehensive physical and property search and periodic drug testing.  Any property that could be harmful to her person (or others) will be confiscated and returned upon dismissal.

Depending on your daughter’s program, she may be required to adhere to a strict dress code (for example, no strings, shoelaces, belts, jewelry, etc.) and be limited in her personal possessions.

Visitors are all pre-approved by the admitting authority with visits during scheduled visiting hours only.  Visits are confined to the approved visitor spaces within and around the facility.  Some residents in the Step Up program may be under more stringent visitation privileges.

Medical personnel of record and those directly affiliated with the facility and clergy are granted open, supervised, visitation.
