Providence Comprehensive Treatment Ctr - RISAT Inc

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Providence, 1 offers a bed.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is about a mile away in Providence.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Providence.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Providence.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Providence.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Ask whether there is a prescriber on site and how soon you would see them.

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Look up the free family groups in Providence as well, because they outlast any program.

Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. Federal medical leave covers employers above a staff threshold and employees who have been there long enough, so it does not reach everyone. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
