AdCare Rhode Island

The AdCare name represents innovation, quality and cost efficiency in alcohol and drug treatment. AdCare’s integrated system of care offers a nationally-recognized hospital facility in Worcester, Massachusetts; an inpatient treatment center in North Kingstown, Rhode Island; and a network of outpatient offices conveniently located throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. AdCare, which is owned and operated by American Addiction Centers (AAC), embraces a philosophy of quality-driven, patient-centered programs that are also relevant to the challenges of today’s healthcare environment. AdCare’s continuum of treatment levels and modalities enables us to match the needs of the patient with the most appropriate level and cost of care. We believe that addiction is a disease that affects not only the individual, but his or her family as well. Successful treatment requires placement at the appropriate level of care and involvement of the family throughout the treatment continuum. This treatment philosophy has allowed us to advocate for the patient while remaining responsive to the interests of commercial healthcare companies, Medicare, and other insurers.

ABOUT ADCARE RHODE ISLAND

Set on 30 acres of wooded land in the historic New England town of North Kingstown, AdCare Rhode Island offers residential and outpatient treatment to adults struggling with substance abuse disorder. The facility is also one of only two non-hospital substance abuse treatment facilities in Rhode Island to provide medically monitored detox services.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Clients who require detox receive 24/7 nursing supervision and medication to help alleviate the severity of withdrawal symptoms. AdCare is also among the 60.4 percent of substance abuse treatment facilities in Rhode Island that can prescribe psychiatric medications for co-occurring disorders, if needed.

After detoxification and/or crisis stabilization, clients may enter into the acute residential treatment program, which utilizes cognitive treatment methods including psychoeducational groups, group counseling, individual therapy, and a range of expressive therapies. AdCare also offers a range of family counseling and support services.

Clients who complete the residential program may transition into the outpatient program as a form of aftercare. They're also encouraged to continue their treatment via community-based groups and AdCare's alumni groups.
