I was admitted to the unit at a terrible time in my life and needed some help. If it wasn’t for the care I received, I may not be here today to tell you how caring and thorough the providers and staff were.
About Our Lady of Fatima Hospital
Their comprehensive behavioral health program offers help with mental healing as well as other benefits such as addiction treatment to put you on the road to recovery. They provide behavioral health emergency and crisis intervention care services, which are available 24/7. One nice thing about being admitted here is that often behavioral health problems are accompanied by other health issues, and medical care is available immediately if needed.
They have an inpatient behavioral health treatment program that is for acute psychiatric needs and geriatric psychiatry services. They also have an outpatient program for people who don’t need 24 hour care. It’s a short term intensive treatment program that’s customized to fit each person’s specific needs.
The outpatient program has a sector for those with mental health issues and substance use disorder or what’s called dual diagnosis. Aside from the individual outpatient care they also have family and group therapy sessions.

Trigger warning…..
I came here on May 22 2026. I was checked in without a problem but when I finally got a room in the front room 3 and after seeing the doctor the nurse was so mean. I waited about an hour after seeing the dr and got my cat scan I kindly asked the nurse if I could have something for my pain and nausea. The nurse responded with you need to wait the people was here before u and you need to be patient while yelling at me. I said nothing. About 20 mins later she comes in the room with a Iv bag and 3 tubes to take blood from me. I nicely explained how I did not feel comfortable with her putting a needle in my arm and if there was a different nurse that could do it she then started to yell at me agin and told me no if I refused to have her do the needle she was going to put me back in the waiting room. I then responded that was fine and I wanted a copy of everything they did. She ended up walking out seconds later a new nurse moved me to the back in the er room 5. I believe her name was Vicky she was amazing I’m grateful I had her and Lexie. After getting released around 6pm I realized I did not have my dr note for work so I walked back in and asked the registration window if they could get me my note. She nicely said that I had to ask the check in nurse so I walked to the check in door and asked the mean nurse if she could get my note from the back she then rolled. Her eyes and once agin told me to wait and be patient. So I was sitting there in the waiting room all over again I sat there while she was yelling at everyone to have her ids out and in one word to tell her why they are there. This one lady was having a stroke and she just kept on yelling at her for her id until the poor lady called some one who spoke Spanish. Then the nurse runs out to the registration window and tells them she was having a stroke. I was there for another half an hour be for I got up and went to the registration window and once agin asked for my note the lady was so surprised that I was still waiting for my note. She got me the note it was about 7pm. Never really had an experience like this before here is the nurse picture. Be careful when she’s there!
The staff in the ICU were exceptional. The staff in surgical were also incredible. The hospital was very clean. They were professional, caring and efficient. I was hospitalized twice, a month apart, and on each occasion, they took very good care of me. I am incredibly grateful to them, so I would easily recommend this hospital. Thank you all. ❤️

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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Clients who are stepping down from inpatient care and those who prefer to remain at home during treatment may choose to enroll in an outpatient rehab. These facilities offer a comprehensive continuum of care designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are designed for clients requiring frequent and high intensity treatment. Clients in outpatient care typically engage in individual, group, and family counseling and recovery-focused life skills training.
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.
Rehab aftercare programs provide a complete continuum of care for clients who have successfully completed higher level treatment programs but who may still be enrolled in formal outpatient treatments. These programs are also designed for clients who have been discharged from outpatient care. Drug rehab aftercare facilitates clients' long-term sobriety through a full suite of customized services aligned with the client's evolving needs. These services may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among others.
12 step programs may be found both in addiction treatment centers and in the community, where meetings are anonymous, free, and open to the public. These programs presume that sustained recovery depends on spiritual, psychological, and emotional growth and healing. Religious affiliation isn't required, but the 12 step recovery model is based on the belief in a higher power. Peer sponsors support participants as they use the steps to cultivate self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.
A drug intervention in Rhode Island can provide the support and encouragement an individual needs to take a first step toward recovery. This planned meeting is facilitated by an interventionist and includes the individual and their loved ones. The goal is to encourage the individual to get the help they need. The interventionist offers intervention services that include planning, guidance, and treatment recommendations.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive rehab without the need for 24-hour care. Whether it's an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option post-hospital or residential care, PHP treatment often includes relapse prevention strategies, medication management, and other behavioral therapy interventions. PHP treatment typically requires daily sessions for 4-8 hours, 5 days a week. Depending on your progress, the length of PHP treatment can vary, averaging 90 days. The cost of PHP treatment varies but is often fully or partially covered by providers.
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 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 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.
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.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
