As previously mentioned, there are lot of options for addiction treatment in Rhode Island. Deciding where to go for treatment is a big decision, and there are several factors to consider. You want to find a treatment center offering evidence-based therapies and interventions and aftercare, also known as ongoing treatment. You also want to ensure that the treatment center provides the appropriate level of care for your specific needs. So before enrolling in a program, do your research; read reviews; and consult your doctor, mental healthcare professional, or an addiction care specialist.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment in Rhode Island

Choosing the right rehabilitation may mean finding a facility close to where you live, or getting away from potential triggers and stressors and traveling a bit to get treatment.

There are 56 drug and alcohol treatment centers in Rhode Island.1 Of these, 12 are residential addiction treatment (non-hospital) facilities and 4 are inpatient rehab hospitals.1 Most rehab facilities in Rhode Island are centered around the state’s major cities, including Providence, Pawtucket, and Cranston. There are also a few treatment centers farther south in Newport and South Kingstown.2 However, you can find various treatment centers for drug and alcohol use throughout the entire state of Rhode Island—not just in its most populous areas. For example, AAC operates 2 AdCare Treatment Centers (one inpatient and one outpatient rehab facility) in Rhode Island.

Outpatient Rehab in Rhode Island

There are 45 outpatient alcohol and drug treatment centers in Rhode Island. Outpatient programs vary in intensity and duration, but the services look similar to the services offered in an inpatient or residential setting. Interventions typically include individual and group counseling, behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, mutual-help groups, and medication (if necessary). The main difference between inpatient and outpatient care is that in an outpatient program, you return home or to a sober living environment at the end of treatment sessions each day. Individuals in inpatient care live at the rehab facility for the duration of treatment.

Some of the different services provided in outpatient programs include:3

  • Medical Detox.There are 8 facilities in the state providing supervised outpatient detox services. Detoxification allows the body to rid itself of the substance or substances safely and as comfortably as possible under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
  • Day treatment or partial hospitalization programs (PHPs). Of the 45 facilities, 6 facilities provide this level of care, which requires individuals to attend therapy and counseling sessions at the facility, usually for 20 or more hours each week.
  • Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs). There are 24 facilities in Rhode Island offering IOPs, which provide between 9 and 19 hours of treatment at the facility each week.
  • Regular outpatient treatment. Standard outpatient programs provide less than 9 hours of treatment at the facility each week.

AdCare Rhode Island’s Warwick facility provides intensive outpatient (day and evening sessions) treatment. The goal of this program is to help individuals maintain abstinence by teaching them coping skills to help them identify triggers, manage stressors, and prevent relapse. This is achieved through a combination of various behavioral interventions, early recovery groups, family counseling and support services, and individual and group counseling.

Does Insurance Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Rhode Island?

Yes, plenty of rehab programs in Rhode Island accept insurance plans. In fact, AAC’s AdCare facilities in Rhode Island are in-network with Cigna, Tufts Health Plan, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, TRICARE, and more. AAC also offers a self-payment option and may work with patients to set up affordable payment plans if necessary.

Nearly 95% of rehab facilities in Rhode Island accept private insurance and more than 90% accept cash or self-payment.1

Can I Go to Drug Rehab in Rhode Island Without Insurance?

For those who do not have private insurance and cannot afford to pay for treatment out of pocket, there are also free rehabs and free drug detox centers in Rhode Island and the surrounding states. Additionally, state programs like Medicaid and Medicare may be able to cover all or at least part of the cost of treatment for those who qualify. The cost of treatment should not deter you from seeking the help you need so call AAC at , and a knowledgeable admissions navigator can explain your options.

Do Rehab Centers in Rhode Island Treat Alcohol and Drug Addiction?

Yes, Rhode Island alcohol and drug addiction treatment centers treat all forms of addiction, including drug and alcohol addiction. People in Rhode Island suffer from a wide range of addictions. Alcohol, opioids, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana were among the most common drugs misused by individuals entering Rhode Island rehabilitation centers in 2020.3

Some treatment centers in Rhode Island may focus on treating addiction to a certain substance like opioids, or cater their services toward a certain population, such as women. Most often, however, addiction treatment centers in Rhode Island treat a wide range of populations and addictions to various substances. AdCare treats a range of substance use disorders; provides treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders such as depressions and anxiety; and offers specialized programs for Veterans, first responders, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Our Rhode Island programs tailor treatment to the individual patient.

Group therapy sessions include psychoeducation, wellness, 12-Step facilitation, grief and loss, coping skills and triggers, mindfulness, and relapse prevention.

Patients who complete 90 consecutive days of inpatient treatment at an AAC treatment center are eligible for our 90-day brand promise, which entitles them to a complimentary 30 days of treatment should they relapse.

What is the Cost of Rehab in Rhode Island?

It’s hard to provide a dollar amount for the cost of rehab in Rhode Island. That’s because the cost of treatment varies by treatment center, client, services rendered, amenities offered, insurance coverage, and whether the facility is an in-network or out-of-network provider.

Depending on the above factors, treatment can range from a couple hundred dollars a day (for detox) to several tens of thousands of dollars for residential addiction treatment in a luxury rehab.

Cost, however, should never prevent you or a loved one from seeking the help you need. As previously mentioned, the majority of Rhode Island treatment centers accept private health insurance, including AdCare Rhode Island’s two facilities. Additionally, there are other ways to pay for treatment, including payment plans that allow you to make monthly payments towards your balance rather than paying for treatment up front all at once.
