Levels of care
- Detox
- When withdrawal begins, there is no fixed clock on how long it will take. Timing depends on the substance and the person, and detox care in Rhode Island works at whatever pace is needed.
- Inpatient / residential
- Inpatient treatment does not run on a fixed clock, so the length of a stay shifts along with what each person needs.
- Partial hospitalization (PHP)
- Heading home each evening gives the treatment day a natural close and time to rest.
- Outpatient
- When needs stay mild and home life steady, outpatient treatment often fits well. It keeps care close to everyday routines and the people who matter.
- Aftercare support
- Checking in regularly, whether in person or by phone, keeps recovery connected to support through the months after treatment.
- Co-occurring disorders
- People facing a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at once can find therapy and psychiatric care working in step. Where both are offered, the two support each other.
