Recovery Rooted in Housing and Stability

Mariners Inn addresses addiction and homelessness together, offering residential and outpatient care paired with transitional housing and recovery resources. The nonprofit provides a safe and structured environment where men can stabilize, access shelter, and begin building long-term independence.

Blending Clinical and Creative Therapies

Treatment combines evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention, with holistic options. Residents engage in art therapy, a weekly drum circle, and poetry workshops, as well as yoga and relaxation practices. These creative and wellness-based approaches help clients process trauma, reduce stress, and build healthy coping skills alongside traditional counseling.

Specialized Gambling Disorder Care

In addition to substance use treatment, Mariners Inn runs a dedicated residential program for gambling addiction. This track includes small group education, individualized recovery planning, and one-on-one sessions with trained clinicians. Designed for adults of different ages and backgrounds, the program also supports men with co-occurring mental health or substance use concerns.

Life Skills, Employment, and Aftercare

Recovery at Mariners Inn extends beyond treatment. Residents can access GED preparation, job readiness training, and financial literacy workshops. Case management, housing assistance, and credit repair support create practical stability. Peer mentoring and alumni programs provide ongoing connection and accountability, while aftercare and relapse-prevention planning help clients maintain progress as they return to the community.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
