Questions people ask about Butler Hospital
Is Butler Hospital residential or day treatment?
They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The nearest alternative is in Pawtucket, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Butler Hospital offer a detox?
They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Providence.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Providence often still has to be in person.
Are there alternatives to Butler Hospital?
The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Providence, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Is Butler Hospital an option for someone under 18?
They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Providence.
What questions should I ask a center?
Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.
What if I cannot pay for treatment?
There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. County behavioral health departments fund treatment directly in many places, and that route is invisible from a search. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.
Is 30 days enough?
Most residential programs are built around 30 days, which is a billing convention more than a clinical finding. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
