Dedicating her professional career to the service of those suffering from substance use disorder, Samantha Smith joins the Brookdale Leadership team as the Clinical Director and Director of Signature Program. Spearheading Brookdale’s newly established Signature Program, Sam comes to us with over 15 years of experience, specializing in the cultivation of clinical programs tailored to the executive population and their needs.

While attending school, Sam began a clinical internship at the VA with a focus on substance abuse and dual diagnosis.

Upon graduation, Sam worked as a therapist for Bowling Green Brandywine, before joining the clinical team at Caron Treatment Centers. She would spend the next 13 years at Caron, holding positions as therapist, supervisor and most recently, Executive Director of Grand View at Caron.
