On 8/14/25 my 32yr old brother had to get heart surgery. He was in the ICU and we didn’t have a clue how sick he was until we visited after his surgery. Still keeping in the back of our mind because he was responding to us that he would still be alive and he was just heavily medicated. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. As we were visiting a nurse in the ICU was extremely rude. We had a loving nurse that showed empathy, even went as far as printing out my brothers heart rate for us so we could have it forever. Even with her printing that it still didn’t click in our mind that he was on the verge of passing away-we had never dealt with a passing before and never knew the signs. My brother has 7 siblings and his mom so of course we all went up to visit. I get it the ICU is cautious for a reason because it can get crazy at any moment, but what throws me off is they told us after he passed that they knew he was passing and one of the nurses there STILL continued to give attitude saying only 2 at a time can visit in the room. This was less than an hour before visiting was up. She could’ve had a little more sympathy to allow us all to visit and stay longer. Does she make the rules? Probably not, but we now go on about our days WISHING we could’ve been by his side when he passed an hour after we all left him. Even if we all couldn’t stay longer my mom requested to stay over night and was still given the answer no. She was still given the answer no to stay longer for visiting. As we all left there was even security and one police officer on the floor as if the nurses called because how many of us there were. Please have a little more sympathy for families that are visiting in the ICU especially when the nurses know their loved ones may not make it. I hope this helps other families out that may experience the same thing one day.
I will never ever allow my family to seek medical care here again!! This wasn’t even his choice he had to be transferred from another hospital.
If you ever need to go to a hospital for pain management for surgery do yourself a favor stay as far away from this hospital is possible

Thank you for your review, David. Our goal is always to provide an excellent experience to all of our patients and families and are sorry to hear this was not the case. Please reach out to our Patient Representatives at 401-793-2017 to discuss your concerns further.
9/22/2025 7pm. ER check in was just AWFUL. Check in staff didn't even acknowledge that there was a line waiting to check in. After more than 30 minutes waiting to just check in. Check in staff gathered informormation giving us her back the entire time, interrupting every single answer and proceeded by handing us the ID over her shoulders while giving us her back the entire time. Just weird. Sadly did not get her name (midback blond curly hair young girl)
This is not mentioning how dirty and unwelcoming the waiting area is.
This hospital has declined their service tremendously, is a pretty sad and disgusting experience.
We left without getting checked. Not worth staying there.

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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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.
