Expert Insights

Like the rest of the country, Rhode Island has seen record numbers of opioid-related overdose deaths in the last few years. In fact, more people in Rhode Island died of accidental overdose in 2021 than any other year on record. And 75% of those deaths involved fentanyl. So the state came up with a novel idea in a desperate attempt to turn the tide: take $2 million of the settlement money they received in a lawsuit against opioid pharmaceutical companies and use it to open a supervised consumption site. While there is debatable data to indicate success with supervised consumption sites that have opened in countries like Canada and Australia, the United States has yet to get fully onboard with the idea. It seems antithetical to many people that “legalizing” the public use of drugs could save lives. And at this point, we don’t yet have definitive answers for how helpful (or harmful) supervised drug use centers can be. The Providence City Council must first approve the site’s location before the state can work towards licensure.

How Much Does Drug Rehab Cost in Rhode Island?

Rhode Island is ranked 41st nationwide in terms of addiction treatment affordability, with an average cost of drug and alcohol rehab of $58,755 (without insurance).

  • Medical detox is the most expensive, with an average cost of $144,853
  • Long-term inpatient drug rehab in Rhode Island costs an average of $51,848
  • Outpatient addiction treatment in Rhode Island costs an average of $8,615
  • Outpatient methadone treatment is the most affordable, with an average cost of $7,655

rhode islandSince there is no one-size-fits-all rehab program, the cost of a drug or alcohol rehab in Rhode Island also varies based on the program you choose. Inpatient is typically more expensive than outpatient treatment, and the longer the program, the more it will cost.

Amenities and location also play a factor. For example, a rehab that feels more like a spa will cost more than a standard facility, and a beachfront location may also add to the overall price.

While private insurance can help keep costs down, you will want to find a rehab that accepts your insurance provider and is considered in-network to avoid paying additional out-of-pocket costs. You can check your coverage by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.

You can also explore whether the rehab you’re interested in offers a rehab scholarship or a sliding scale payment option based on your income. Some private insurance plans will cover the cost of some types of addiction treatment. If you qualify, Medicaid and Medicare are also two federal government insurance programs that cover the cost of rehab.

Paying for Addiction Treatment in Rhode Island

Private Pay and Insurance

According to the Affordable Care Act, signed into law in 2010, substance use disorders must be a covered benefit at the same parity of medical and surgical coverage for most insurance providers.

There are many major health insurance carriers in the state of Rhode Island. Here are some of the most common commercial and Marketplace insurance providers.

United Health Care

UHC in Rhode Island is one of the state’s Medicaid providers. Addiction treatment is covered at 100% under this plan. This means that testing, treatment and medications are covered with no out of pocket cost for those insured under this plan.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island

Alcohol and substance use disorders are covered benefits through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island. Coverage and out of pocket costs will depend on the individual’s benefit plan. These services include inpatient and outpatient treatment, medication and case management. BCBS of Rhode Island has online services such as their Find a Provider service, which helps you find a provider or facility in your area. Moreover, their care management team can help you determine what the best treatment options are for your substance abuse needs.

Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island

The Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island offers commercial insurance through the marketplace as well as Medicaid plans. Inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment are covered services.

Coverage differs between plans. Individuals should contact their insurance provider to determine out-of pocket costs. Use of in network providers is recommended.

Medicaid

Medicaid provides health insurance coverage for residents who meet certain criteria such as income level, state residency, citizenship, and certain medical conditions. These Medicaid plans cover inpatient and outpatient substance use disorder treatment services at facilities that accept this type of insurance. Prior authorization is often required for services. Participants should contact their insurance provider to determine covered benefits, verify any out-of-pocket costs they may incur and to help them locate participating providers.

Medicare

Medicare provides insurance coverage for individuals over the age of 65 and in some cases, individuals with disabilities and certain medical conditions. Medicare Part A pays for inpatient substance abuse treatment. Clients are required to pay the same co pays they would be charged for any other type of inpatient hospitalization. For those with Medicare Part B, outpatient substance abuse treatment services from a clinic or hospital outpatient department are covered. Medicare Advantage plans can help pay for services such as prescription drug coverage that is not covered as a part of Part A or Part B. Services must be received at a Medicare participating facility or provider.

Military Insurance

TRICARE and VA benefits are accepted at participating providers throughout the state of Rhode Island. For those with alcohol and substance use disorders, the Veterans Administration offers inpatient and outpatient services at their clinics and hospitals at no cost.

Tribal Funding/Programs

All individuals of Native American or Alaska Native descent are eligible for health care and Medicaid through the Indian Health Service (IHS). Addiction recovery programs are covered services.

Other Low Cost Options

For those individuals without commercial insurance, government sponsored insurance or insurance through military service, some providers will offer alternatives. These include sliding scale payment options, no fee for service or financial aid. Clients will need to speak with service providers to confirm what options are available to them.

Free and Low-Cost Rehab Programs in Rhode Island

As of 2024, there were over 70 drug rehab facilities across the state of Rhode Island. These facilities accept several payment methods. Of those treatment facilities, the following numbers reflect how many accept their respective payment methods:

The costs of addiction treatment can be a significant barrier to care, but there are solutions. There are 14 low cost or free addiction treatment centers in Rhode Island. Their services include inpatient and outpatient treatment options, including intensive outpatient treatment, relapse prevention and aftercare programs.

Some of these treatment options also include medication assisted treatment where clients receive medications such as naltrexone, methadone and buprenorphine to ease withdrawal symptoms and decrease cravings.

Because many individuals experiencing alcohol and substance use disorder also have co-occurring mental illnesses such as bi-polar disorder, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, many addiction treatment centers in Rhode Island offer mental health services as well.

Case management services also engage those facing homelessness, food insecurity and unemployment by connecting clients with resources in their communities. Often, clients work with healthcare and insurance specialists to enroll in state funded health care plans such as Medicare or Medicaid.

Project Weber/Renew

This is an organization with locations in Providence and Pawtucket that provides harm reduction services such as Narcan distribution, safe needle exchange and Fentanyl test strips. Their case management services can help connect individuals to medication assisted treatment programs and recovery support services.

Project Weber/Renew offers the first state regulated overdose center. They provide a wide variety of services including a place to rest and get something to eat or drink, safe needle exchanges by qualified medical professional and support support staff that can assist individuals in finding medical care and testing sites for conditions such as HIV or Hepatitis C.

The State of Rhode Island Department of Health

This department offers many services for people facing alcohol and substance use disorder. One program is their Rhode Island Buprenorphine Hotline, which offers individuals with moderate to severe opioid use disorder a 24/7 service for initiation of buprenorphine treatment. Additionally, because medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis are associated with high risk behavior like intravenous drug use, RIDH offers diagnostic testing and referral services for those in need.

The Herren Project

This project is headquartered in Portsmouth. It’s a non profit organization that provides free services for those with alcohol and substance use disorders. In addition to providing assistance with finding appropriate treatment placement, individuals who are in their recovery journey can apply for recovery scholarships.

These scholarships help to pay for living expenses in sober living facilities and provide case management services to help navigate the process. For family members affected by alcohol and substance use disorders, they offer a free family consultation service where licensed clinicians discuss ways to help them navigate their loved one’s illness. Furthermore, they offer weekly online support groups for spouses, siblings and parents.

RICARES

Short for Rhode Island Communities for Addictions Recovery Efforts, this is a non profit organization in Providence that provides free services for individuals and families affected by addiction. Recovery coaching is offered, free of charge, to support individuals and develop individualized recovery wellness plans. RICARES is also an affiliate of National Alliance for Recovery Residences and can offer assistance to individuals in need of sober living facilities to find appropriate housing and services.

Amos House

This non profit organization is located in Providence. They provide services to those who are facing crises such as homelessness, food insecurity, unemployment and alcohol and substance use disorders.
