Providence Center

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Providence is set up for.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Providence, under a mile away.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Providence, about a mile away.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Providence does.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Pawtucket is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. The daily schedule is the most revealing document a program holds, and most will send it on request. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.

The block you are offered and the time the work takes are two different things, and that is the honest answer. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Call (844) 822-5800 to talk through which level of care fits what you are dealing with.
