The Galilee Mission

About The Galilee Mission

The Galilee Mission is based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and runs sober living and transitional housing. Narragansett is a Washington County town on the state's southern coast.

What The Galilee Mission Does

The Galilee Mission, Inc. was founded in 1984 and describes itself as an umbrella organization for several programs addressing substance overuse. Its span runs from residential treatment through outpatient and intensive outpatient services to peer recovery, transitional living and sober living. The Mission's programs are licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals and by the Rhode Island Department of Health. The stated goal is to get clients employed, communicating with loved ones and active in the community while living substance free.

Galilee Mission Sober Homes in Narragansett

Two sober houses carry the Mission's sober living program. Maria's House, named in memory of Maria Croteau, is a sober living environment for men with minimal supervision, allowing a resident a non-structured yet sober lifestyle while staying connected to the Mission. Chris' House, named in memory of Christopher Marien, is described by the Mission as its newest and biggest sober house, taking men who want to combine resources toward a single goal of remaining substance free. Both houses call for a continued focus on sobriety, full time work and payment of the program fee, with stays of up to one year, and residents keep up AA or NA attendance and build a local support network.

Transitional Living at Captain Tom House

Captain Tom House is the Mission's transitional living house, accepting men who have completed significant residential substance abuse treatment and hold a minimum of 60 to 90 days of sobriety. RICARES certifies Captain Tom House in Narragansett 02882 for men at Level 2, with recertification recorded in February 2026. It is the one Galilee Mission residence on the RICARES roster.

Clinical Programs Behind the Houses

Residential treatment at ASAM levels 3.5 and 3.1 operates under The Galilee Mission in Wakefield and Narragansett, which is what allows the Mission to move a client down from high intensity care into transitional and then sober living inside one organization.
