Rhode Island Rehab Treatment Types
One person’s road to recovery rarely looks identical to another’s. Only a qualified professional can help determine what types of addiction treatment may be right for you based on your specific needs. At AdCare, we are pleased to provide various levels of addiction treatment programs, including:
- Medical detox. Medical detox is a form of treatment that is designed to manage acute intoxication and subsequent withdrawal.4 Conducted in an inpatient setting, AdCare’s medical detox offers 24/7 supervision from our medical team to assist patients in achieving a period of withdrawal that is as comfortable and safe as possible.
- Inpatient treatment. During inpatient treatment, the patient will remain at the facility for the duration of their care. They will receive a variety of services, including around-the-clock care and access to several evidence-based therapies proven to help treat substance use disorders.
- Intensive outpatient program. An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is considered appropriate for those who do not require the intensity of an inpatient program, but who can benefit from more structure and stability that what outpatient programs can provide. Someone participating in an IOP will continue to live at home while visiting the facility several times per week for treatment.
- Outpatient treatment. Patients enrolled in our outpatient treatment program will visit the facility three to five times per week for individual therapy sessions, education group sessions, skills groups, and a variety of other therapies aimed at helping them develop and maintain long-term recovery.
Covering the Cost of Rehab
Just like any other healthcare service, attending rehab for substance use disorder often comes at a cost. Determining the cost of rehab and figuring out how to pay for it can be difficult. However, the ADC staff can help you determine how much treatment may cost and whether you’d be able to use insurance coverage for addiction treatment.
We’re here to help make determining how to cover the costs associated with care as streamlined and simple as possible. We’re proud to work with a variety of health insurance companies, including Humana Rhode Island and Cigna Rhode Island, and can check your benefits for you while you’re on the phone to see if your insurance is accepted at any of our facilities. Even if your insurance isn’t accepted at our facility, we’ll go over financing and alternative payment options that may be available to you.
