About St. Christopher's Inn
For more than a century, St. Christopher’s Inn (SCI) has welcomed men seeking recovery from substance use. Rooted in the Catholic Franciscan tradition, the Inn combines counseling, structured daily activities, spiritual guidance, and community support in an environment centered on dignity and respect. Men of all faith backgrounds are welcome, and religious participation is optional.
A Structured Routine with Counseling and Creative Therapies
Each resident is assigned to a group, called a track, that stays together for counseling sessions, meals, and recovery activities. During their first week, men become familiar with the grounds, daily schedule, and available services through workshops, educational lectures, individual counseling, and vocational placement. Men participate in weekly individual and group counseling led by social workers, Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselors (CASACs), and Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPAs). Services include individual and group therapy, co-occurring mental health care, family sessions, peer support, and telehealth. Creative therapies include writing, art, film, and other hands-on activities.
Explore Faith and Spirituality
Spiritual guidance is part of SCI’s Franciscan approach to recovery. Trained spiritual guides help men explore their personal beliefs and spiritual practices, regardless of religious background. Men can attend daily Catholic Mass if they choose, visit the chapel anytime for quiet reflection or meditation, and access spiritual resources that support their own faith traditions.
Stay Connected Through Alumni Support
The St. Christopher’s Inn Alumni Association (SCIAA) is an independent nonprofit that helps former residents stay connected after treatment. Alumni participate in fellowship, service opportunities, and recovery-focused gatherings. The association also hosts reunions, family events, memorial gatherings, and an annual picnic, giving former residents opportunities to maintain connections with the SCI community.
