AdCare Rhode Island Inc - Outpatient

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Johnston, 4.2 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

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 6.6 miles away in Johnston.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Greenville has 8 other centers to compare.

Greenville has 2 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Greenville it may be mixed.

Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.

The gap between a return to use and picking the phone up again is the part worth shortening. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Say what happened last time and what was missing from the plan.

Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. An outpatient program needs almost none of this, just the documents and the appointment time. Leave anything valuable at home rather than arguing about it at intake.
