About Inpatient Addiction Treatment At AdCare
At AdCare Treatment Centers in Rhode Island, we offer inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab. This level of care begins with a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s individual situation and needs.

How Long Do You Stay in Inpatient Rehab for Addiction?
The length of inpatient rehab differs from person to person and can include:
- Short-term medical detox from drugs or alcohol
- 30-day inpatient addiction treatment programs
- 2-3 month combined inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment plans
Someone’s recommended stay in residential care depends on variables, such as age, type of substance(s) used, extent of addiction, and underlying mental or physical health conditions.
While any amount of professional addiction rehab may be beneficial and jumpstart a person’s recovery, studies show that staying in treatment for enough time is crucial to a person’s recovery and that, very often, people need at least 90 days to stop their substance use.2
At AdCare, we offer a full continuum rehab of care to keep you supported and engaged in your recovery after inpatient rehab.
What Happens After Inpatient Rehab?
Inpatient treatment is just one step in the recovery process. At our Rhode Island inpatient addiction treatment facility, we understand the importance of continued care after residential rehab ends, which is why our rehab aftercare planning starts on Day 1.
Upon admission to our residential rehab facility, each patient meets with our skilled clinicians and is assigned a case manager; this team works together to develop a treatment and follow-up plan tailored to the patient’s individual needs.
While inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is considered the most intensive form of addiction treatment, there are less intensive options as a person progresses along the continuum of care. Outpatient services include:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Day Treatment
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Standard Outpatient Rehab
AdCare is uniquely equipped to help program graduates continue their recovery with aftercare plans and alumni connections. Additionally, case managers can arrange appointments for every patient with their primary care doctor, who can help manage follow-up and aftercare.
In order to ensure a safe and therapeutic environment, and to protect the privacy of our patients, the use of cell phones and other electronic devices may be restricted during certain levels of care and treatment times. To learn more, please visit our our cell phone and electronics use policy page.
Yes, most health insurance plans cover some form of inpatient addiction treatment in the New England area and throughout the United States. This is due, in part, to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and federal parity laws.3
The ACA is a form of insurance reform that expanded insurance coverage to include substance abuse treatment, deeming it an “essential benefit” on par with other types of routine medical care.3
Keep in mind that each health insurance plan is different, and insurance coverage for substance abuse treatment varies. You should check with your insurance carrier to determine the scope of your addiction treatment benefits in the New England region.
AdCare is in-network with many major insurers in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, including:
Our MA detox facility, AdCare Hospital, accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
All Rhode Island AdCare facilities accept Rhode Island Medicaid (Rhode Island Medical Assistance).
