Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients in inpatient rehab benefit from a highly structured and supportive environment away from the stressors that can trigger or exacerbate addiction. Inpatient treatment is designed primarily for clients in early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. They provide intensive clinical supervision and addiction counseling, which may include group and family therapy. Clients may also engage in extensive addiction education to support long-term sobriety. Many programs offer complementary therapies, including art and animal therapy.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support clients' long-term sobriety and their successful reintegration into the community through high-level services that evolve with clients' changing needs. The intensity and frequency of treatment decrease as clients stabilize, but most IOP programs involve between nine and 20 hours of treatment weekly. Intensive outpatient rehabs specialize in an array of services, including psychotherapy, medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction and recovery education, and holistic care, such as massage and biofeedback.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
The best course of treatment to achieve recovery starts with 24-hour clinical care in Rhode Island. Here, you can undergo medically managed detox, where medical staff can monitor your health and progress. You'll receive constant supervision and medication treatment to ensure withdrawal symptoms do not become severe or pose health risks. Once stabilized, you'll move from the clinical setting to less intensive treatment for ongoing recovery.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand 24/7 as your body is detoxing from addictive substances. As a result, you may experience physical and psychological side effects, such as mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, and keep you as safe and comfortable throughout this process.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

During motivational interviewing, you and your therapist will collaborate to work through four key pillars of this treatment: engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning. This process will allow you to share your perspective, decide on the purpose of treatment, explore your ideas and motivations for change, and plan how you can achieve any changes you want to make.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills, also referred to as coping skills, cover three categories: cognitive skills, interpersonal skills, and emotional skills. By working on each of these areas during treatment, you'll develop the skills you need to navigate daily life in recovery

Chronic substance use zaps the body of the nutrients it needs for optimal functioning. Nutrition therapy in Rhode Island helps you restore health and nutritional balance. This is an important part of your treatment plan to address the physical side of addiction.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

gives you behaviour management medications as a response to you begging for literally just nausea meds 4 times over 5 hours and then needing to take your empty iv with you as it’s actively drawing your blood back into the pouch the saline they gave you was in because you asked an hour ago to go to the bathroom and nobody came to help you for hours and then when you start literally crying as you’re walking down the hallway to find a bathroom they give you dirty looks. it’s literally only as you’re sobbing uncontrollably because you’re in the most embarrassing and uncomfortable situation any hospital has ever put you in does an entire team of four people rush up to you and give you the nausea meds you asked for 4 hours ago and a benzo to “help with nausea” but when the benzo kicks in you realise that they used the generic name intentionally to get you to take it because instead of treating you like a real human being with real human problems they just wanted you to shut the heck up. you have adverse side effects to benzodiazepines and if they had actually bothered to look at the chart or take a more in depth history they would have realised that they just made you sicker.

if i could rate it less than one star i would. I recently had the unfortunate experience on the phone with my mother while my father was being treated at Miriam Hospital, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts on the nursing staff. There’s a language barrier so i felt compelled to be on the phone to try to express to the nurses what my dad was experiencing at the time since i basically care for him day and out. My dads time there was marred by rudeness and a glaring lack of empathy from the nurses, which made an already stressful situation even worse. It sucks to have witness how extremely rude they were over the phone hearing the lack of empathy they had when we would try to help him answer questions due to his lack of coherence. i really hope they start looking into these nurses. Although i can understand that these jobs are extremely stressful they are very well aware what this is what the job is about. he is currently there right now and i had to stop what i was doing to take the time to write this because wow.

I am extremely sick and went to Miriam Hospital and I had to see Dr. Kent. Dr. Kent is one of the worst doctors I have ever worked with. He was extremely rude and needs to learn bedside manner. Everyone else was so helpful and nice, but Dr. Kent told me he wouldn't request an MRI on me because "other people need to use it". I've never been spoken to like this by a doctor.

More like -100 stars. I just want everyone to know that your dying relatives cannot see their grand children, children or great grand children in my case unless they're 13+ years old. Seriously Miriam DO BETTER! That is absolutely ridiculous. I'll be filing a complaint everywhere that I possibly can to hopefully prevent other people from going through this BS. My grandfather survived the holocaust just to die in a hospital where he can't say goodbye to his great grandkids. The only good thing about this place is the ladies at the front desk.

Called for CT scan. Got 7am app't. Received call back 48 hours prior to scan saying there is no radiologist on duty at 7am, I'll have to reschedule. Never received any prep instructions via phone call, text, email or on Mychart. Horrible admin. at Miriam. This is perfect example of why the U.S. is ranked last in industrialized nations in health care.

3 weeks ago I have been admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) at the Miriam Hospital due to a myocardial infarction that triggered stent placements. My experience with the hospital and especially the coronary care unit was outstanding and fantastic in all aspects. Dr. Haines and his team, the RNs (Erin, Siv, Veronica...), the NAs and so many others that looked after me are true experts in their field and most important wonderful human beings that treat you with dignity and passion. Their highest quality care is absolutely patient centered, comprehensive and relationship based. They also diligently informed my family about ongoing procedures and arranged for a continued care after dismissal with a cardiologist, a PCP and a cardiac rehab program. These people are simply the best and truly make the difference ! I cannot thank them enough for all their help and support ! Thank you so much for giving me back my life !
