Saint Christopher’s Inn is a centuries-old Franciscan friar-led addiction and recovery center that helps men find freedom from drug and alcohol addiction through full residential or day treatment. It provides holistic programs that offer spiritual support, medically assisted treatment (MAT) and guidance for quitting substance use and smoking. Their approach ensures that each person has a solid foundation for building a new, healthy, and productive sober life.
The facility’s approach combines various clinical therapies with compassionate, faith-based support. Through group sessions and individual counseling, men engage in self-exploration and meditation to identify roots of their addiction and learn healthy coping skills. This process helps them rebuild their self-respect, self control and gain the essential life skills needed to maintain a sober and healthy lifestyle, achieve personal growth and complete the entire treatment program.
The center uses the term Brothers Christopher to refer to men who live together in dormitory-style rooms, building a strong sense of belonging and support. Located on a serene Garrison, New York campus, the Inn offers a nature-based recovery setting. This quiet environment allows individuals to engage in art, expressive writing, and choir to boost awareness, reduce stress, and build self-esteem.
This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Dolophine®, Methadose®
Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.
Vivitrol®, Revia®
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.
It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.
Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.
Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
Center pricing can vary based on program and length of stay. Contact the center for more information. Recovery.com strives for price transparency so you can make an informed decision.
