SECU Women's Recovery Center — Ribbon Cutting

You're Invited!

We are thrilled to announce the official ribbon cutting of the SECU Women's Recovery Center at Samaritan Colony — and we want you there to celebrate with us!

This is a milestone that has been a long time coming, made possible by the dedication of our foundational partners, the support of our community leaders, board members, and the heart of our Samaritan Colony staff. We couldn't be more proud of what this center represents for women in recovery in our region.

We are also deeply honored to welcome a very special guest — First Lady of North Carolina, Anna Stein — who will be joining us for this joyous occasion.

Monday, March 23rd
Starting at 11:00 AM
454 Guardian Way, Rockingham, NC 28379

Because of you, Samaritan Colony has been allowed to expand our life-saving services over the past 50+ years.

We started as a 12-bed facility to treat men for alcoholism in 1975. In the 1980s, we included the treatment of other addictive and harmful substances, such as co***ne, he**in, etc.

Over the years, our generous donors have enabled us to expand our services to meet the needs of the underserved communities we serve.

Our full ecosystem of services now includes treatment navigation, detox and safe house support, residential treatment for both men and women, aftercare services, a drop-in clinic (the Recovering Moore Resource Center), and recovery home housing.

Thank you to all who have supported our work.

We couldn’t have done this without you.

Huge thanks to Rockingham Dragway for opening their grounds to support our community. With more than 800 public utility trucks staged here ahead of today’s forecasted ice storm, their partnership helps ensure a faster, safer response if conditions worsen. We’re grateful for all they do—and we’re wishing everyone stays safe as the storm moves through. 💙❄️🚛

We’re proud to share that Samaritan Colony has officially received its state license from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for the SECU Women’s Recovery Center.

The 14-bed facility, completed in summer 2025, will begin admitting women for substance use disorder treatment on February 1, 2026. This license confirms the center meets all state standards for safety, staffing, and clinical care.

“I am proud of the staff for their dedication in bringing the SECU Women’s Recovery Center from vision to reality,” said Board Chair Clint Ray. “We also extend deep gratitude to our donors and community partners. This milestone would not have been possible without their support.”

Executive Director Mark Christopher emphasized that the center is about more than treatment—it’s about transformation.

“This will be a place where women reflect on who they were, choose who they no longer want to be, and begin the work of becoming who they are meant to be,” Christopher said. “Through commitment, accountability, and community, they will grow—discovering the power of being useful to others. That sense of purpose is what sustains recovery.”

Founded in 1975, Samaritan Colony has served men and families impacted by addiction for over 50 years. The SECU Women’s Recovery Center marks an important expansion of our mission—bringing structured, evidence-based care to women in a safe, supportive environment.

So proud of our alum, Peter G., for his incredible accomplishments in the world of cyber-security.

We’re grateful to share that the George W. & Ruth R. Baxter Foundation has created a new Treatment Scholarship that will fully fund care for three men seeking help for the disease of addiction.

The Baxter Foundation has been a longtime supporter of Samaritan Colony—from strengthening our men’s program to helping bring the SECU Women’s Recovery Center to life. This year, they continued their commitment with a $15,000 gift to our endowment fund, in addition to creating this new scholarship.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Baxter Foundation for standing with us and making healing possible for the people we serve.

✨ Giving Tuesday is just 11 days away! ✨

On December 2, we’re joining millions around the world in a day of generosity—and we hope you’ll be part of it.

This year, we’re focusing on something deeply meaningful: treatment scholarships. These scholarships open the door to recovery for people who are ready to change their lives but lack the resources to begin their journey.

💙 You can help by:
• Creating a new treatment scholarship in honor of someone you love
• Donating to an existing scholarship that supports individuals seeking recovery
• Liking and sharing our Giving Tuesday posts on December 2 to help spread the word

And stay tuned—on Dec. 2 we’ll be sharing powerful video testimonials from past scholarship recipients whose lives were transformed because someone believed in them.

Together, we can make recovery possible for more people.

Let’s make this Giving Tuesday our most impactful yet! 💙🙏
