AdCare Rhode Island, Kingstown Philosophy

Clinical Services of Rhode Island (CSRI), which is owned and operated by American Addiction Centers (AAC), provides outpatient rehab and addiction treatment services that embody a “big-picture” approach to substance abuse treatment, addressing the client’s lifestyle and environmental factors contributing to the addiction. Partnerships are created with each client’s family, loved ones, and community resources during the course of treatment to lay the groundwork for aftercare. Using individualized treatment plans and research-based therapy, CSRI doesn’t just focus on the substance abuse, but uses the client’s strengths to concentrate on a sober future, and build a self-directed life.

Areas of Specialization

  • Family Program
    Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.

  • Medical Detoxification
    Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects throughout your body, including but not limited to the addiction and/or physical/psychological dependence that develops with substance abuse over time. The term “medical detoxification” means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal. CSRI offers outpatient detoxification from opioids only.

  • Individualized Treatment
    Some facilities have an addiction treatment protocol that all patients or clients are expected to follow, while others customize or individualize treatment based on a person’s unique needs and circumstances. Factors that may affect treatment decisions include age, lifestyle, medical conditions, type of drug, religious beliefs, etc.

  • Aftercare Support
    Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a treatment program. CSRI staff supports and facilitates building community connections including 12 step involvement, vocational counseling, and psychiatric services.

Testimonials

  • CSRI has given me the tools to gain my life back. The amazing staff have been by my side through every step of the way and I cannot be more thankful for that. Coming to CSRI has been the best decision of my life and I would recommend anyone struggling with addiction to make it theirs, too.
    — Tommy, Rhode Island
  • Working with the professionals at CSRI has allowed me to begin enjoying life again. The team shows a genuine care and concern for not only my well-being but also for my family; which has endured difficult times prior to and during my recovery process. With the tools utilized and learned during sessions I have confidence that my future will be full of success.
    — Peter, Massachusetts
  • So many people have misconceptions about drug and alcohol use, there is much trauma that affects the family when living with an active user or living with recovery. For years, I didn't know how much I needed to care for myself. CSRI has provided me and the rest of my family with intense levels of intervention and counseling, aided us in each understanding our past and new roles and identities. Specifically, my counselor is helping me get past the trauma, adjust more easily, and be a better me so I can be a better parent.

ABOUT CLINICAL SERVICES OF RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH KINGSTOWN

Clinical Services of Rhode Island (CSRI) South Kingstown provides intensive outpatient, general outpatient, outpatient medical detox and group therapy. CSRI South Kingstown is a part of American Addiction Centers.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Treatment at CSRI begins with an intake assessment and urine screening. As the facility is strictly outpatient, there is no physical/psychiatric assessment or blood work.

At CSRI’s South Kingstown location clients will participate in 12-Steps programming and accompanying “step-work” as well as group therapy. Classroom setting discussions with others in recovery are aimed to help clients learn techniques to control impulses and other recovery strategies. Cognitive behavioral therapy and individual therapy sessions are offered as well.

Outpatient treatment is offered Monday through Thursday. A flexible morning and nightly schedule is available, with meetings lasting three hours.

Depending on the client’s needs, additional care including medication management, psychiatric care, or family education may be incorporated. CSRI encourages family participation in the treatment process.

CSRI also hosts monthly “Meet and Greets” for alumni of any of their facilities, as well as quarterly alumni outings to ball games, music entertainment, and dinners.

Friends and family can participate in a monthly education and support group.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

Clinical directors oversee the multidisciplinary treatment team of licensed therapists and counselors.

ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES

Official photographs reveal small offices located in a golden building surrounded by green spaces and a parking lot. Note, the facility does not offer food or additional amenities, as it offers outpatient services only.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY

The two alumni of Clinical Services of Rhode Island, South Kingstown polled by Rehabs.com to date each provided positive reviews. while Laura lauded the center's family involvement in treatment, Pamela claimed that her stay was "best inpatient rehab I have experienced," praising staff and communication.

The facility has earned an average 4.2 out of five stars on its Facebook page, based on five reviews.[1]

WHAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY SAY

The four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com to date provided mixed feedback regarding the care their family members received at Clinical Services of Rhode Island, South Kingstown. Parents Frank and Karen each praised the caring staff, complimenting therapists and counselors and even attributing the care their son received to his being alive today. Karen provided maximum five-star ratings for the accommodations and amenities, exercise and leisure provisions, connectivity/visitor policy, family participation in treatment, affordability, counseling options, the staff's level of training and experience, and treatment of co-occurring disorders. Although she wish IOP were open on weekends and that the space were larger, she offered a perfect five-star rating when asked how likely she were to recommend treatment here to others.

Loved one Sandra, however, reported a less than pleasant experience during intake, in which the family and client were denied a level of treatment that would allow the client to stay in school and given an ultimatum based on commitment level. Another anonymous loved one complained of an inadequately short stay and no follow-up.

FINANCING

The facility’s website indicates that most private and public insurance plans are covered and the facility accepts private pay. Staff will review insurance benefits for free.

They care about the people they treat. They don't treat people like a number. They go above and beyond, they don't just go thru the motions. It's a small building they're in. Could use a larger space. Not open for IOP Friday's thru Sundays. They employ great therapists and councilors.

I am very disgusted with this program ! I feel...they did not treat my family member appropriately... during an initial intake process ! While the counselor should be trying to obtain and gain trust, he disclosed to his supervisor private information that was not harmful to himself or others ! So the supervisor decides that this family member needs more intense treatment without discussing this with the patient/ client. If the supervisor was given the correct information, I would hope that she would not make such an innapropriate decision! This was an initial intake and the client/ patient was given an ultimatum that if he did not come 4 days a week at 3 hours a session of group therapy than they will refuse the patient treatment ! Meanwhile this patient goes to school full time ! How is he supposed to go to school and go to this treatment facility 4 times a week and at 3 hours each session ! This is a recipe for failure!! Basically forcing him to quit school!! If you ask me, they are just trying to get more money for there programs !! This person made a few mistakes in college as we all did !! I am very angry and upset with how they run this facility and do not encourage this program to anyone !!
