About BHG Providence Treatment Center

BHG Providence Treatment Center in Providence, Rhode Island, is a unique mental health and drug addiction treatment center. The center is primarily focused on opioid addiction treatment and offers inpatient, outpatient and detox treatment options. They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) with various FDA approved medications including methadone and Suboxone. This method reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings to enable a safer and more productive recovery process.

The center follows a holistic recovery model that combines medications with other forms of therapy. Their addiction counselors use cognitive behavioral therapy in individual, group and family contexts to help patients deal with stressors and triggers without substance use. This holistic perspective incorporates the psychological dimension of addiction and guides individuals toward sustainable recovery.

BHG Providence also offers group therapy sessions that allow patients to bond with each other, share experiences and support one another. Family counseling is also provided to address the broken family dynamic. Family members will be given priority as they play an important part in the recovery journey. Family counseling is directed at building up trust and communication among family members.

I like that this facility is located in an urban environment that provides easy access for residents in Providence and the surrounding areas. The center is designed to offer a safe and supportive space that encourages recovery.

The treatment center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, military insurance, private health insurance and state financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid. They also provide self pay options.

The center has garnered positive feedback from patients who have praised the staff for their professionalism and compassion. Some emphasized the positive atmosphere, saying that the staff there truly care about your recovery and well being. Others have mentioned that they felt understood and supported throughout their treatment journey.

I have to say, I'm pretty happy with this place. Of course, I don't have anything else to compare it to, but it seems pretty good to me. The wait times are usually not too bad either.

This place is complete trash since bhg took over. All they care about is how to save more money. They make us call in twice a week to see if we need to go in and show them our remaining doses. Used to be they d call you and tell you to come in. So now we need to do their job. The people that work here is like a revolving door and no one stays long except Kathy. I dont know how she does it. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE! Maybe Codac or discovery

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.

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.
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

During drug rehab in Rhode Island, you'll participate in a variety of therapeutic interventions designed to help you break free from addiction. Common methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, music and art therapy, 12-step support, and nutrition/exercise.

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.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
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).

Clinical Services

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Rhode Island, your therapist helps you identify negative thought patterns and explore healthier ways to think and act. You'll learn how to develop coping strategies and change your behaviors.

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.

Individual therapy for drug addiction is a collaborative process between yourself and your therapist. During your sessions, you address personnel experiences and emotional struggles head on. This helps your therapist gain insight into your addiction triggers and develop coping skills and a road map for sustained recovery.

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.

Couples who are in couples therapy meet with a licensed counselor weekly. The therapist mediates while each partner voices their concerns. The couple then receives feedback and insights on how to work through the challenges they're facing in the relationship.

During family therapy sessions, each member has a safe space to openly express their feelings about addiction and the challenges it has created within the family. It is crucial to rebuild trust, strength, and relationships that were affected by addiction. This helps the family to support and empower their loved one's recovery.

Nicotine replacement therapy in Rhode Island allows you to slowly wean yourself off cigarettes. You can gradually decrease the amount of nicotine you get each day to work toward a goal of zero intake. Options include patches, gum, and lozenges.

If you can get off opiates through detox, do it. This place told me I had a dirty urine when I never even had given a sample that month. Not the staff fault, they're great. But wish I got clean on my own. My teeth are falling apart, there's always an issue with some other patient. Nurses are great. But don't think anyone without time off the wagon should ever be a counselor. Makes people never want to open up. It's a mind set that simply cannot be taught. Cannot wait until I never see this place again. 12 counselors in 4 years. No one lasts. Mine is great, but very young and not a clue.

Was a great clinic and honestly has great staff other then DR.Skip. I ve never been talked down and felt so disrespected and belittled by a doctor like the way he does and the only way we can stop him is by filing grievances . Please if you have an issue with him don't just let it go. File a grievance with the clinic and the board health. The world doesn't need doctors like him. Some states will not let him practice due to his past behavior , RI should take his liscence as well

Short lines, no trouble. The only problem is higher than usual staff turnover rate. Only 1 counselor has been there any amount of time & she is the best. Authora is the best because she has been there & she knows what it's like. I had her about 4 yrs & because of increase intake they gave me to a very nice young person, but, I don't believe for a minute not 1 other counselor besides Authora has been there. How can a social worker with no real life experiences counsel me? Not very happy there right now. Thinking of going back to Codac in EP. Also more new rules instituted recently. One that really bothers me is you now must have 3 months clean urines for a take home. It used to be 2 which bothered me. Just ridiculous. Especially when you have 5 takehomes earned and they chang that just before takehome 6. Yet I went on vacation for 20 days & I was trustworthy enough for that. Not now probably. As far as other people c/o drug deals on premises, there are alot less here than elsewhere. Obviously by comments made by said person they haven't been to many if any other clinics where takehomes are being sold in parking lot.My 5 take homes were taken away on a friday due to a false positive on a mouth swab. They had me give an observed urine the next day but still kept my take homes despite the fact my urine was negative. They promised me I'd have transportation for the weekend. I called mtm at 11:30 pm friday night & lo & behold I am not scheduled to have a ride for this w/e. I'm alone. All my friends are deceased. I'm a disabled 60.yr old widow. I don't know who is at fault for me not being able to get there, but I think it's very cruel that a 60 yr old disabled woman is going to be very sick come monday!!!! You would think that they would have made good on thier promise of a ride if they really cared. Someone, somewhere along the line is sleeping well tonight despite the fact they didn't do thier job. Me, I won't be sleeping till monday, I'll be sick as a dog puking my brains out. Thank You Journey!!

Its a nice place if you like going tona place that the patients sell their medicine and sell other kinds of drugs while people are on line to to in. The Doctor is judgemental impatient and unwilling to listen to his patience weather new or old he assumes he knows whats best regardless of your situation. The worst part is when u disagree you could be very polite about it and the staff will make you out to look like some hunny patient that dosent have a weeks worth of takehomes and clean urines of course. The peolple that say its great its fast its because they dose but dont have take homes so they dont have to wait for the medicine and they probably have a low dose and never speak to the doctor. If u dont bother to ask them to do their job respectfully they will be very nice. God forbid you really need help and they waste your time by making u see the doctor so that they can talk to him themselves and then he has his mind made up about you and wht hes gonna do with your situation. The medical staff with the exception of Frank and the short lady with the short hair are offensive judgemental and rude ther othe 40% are just there till they have to leave and 10% actuall care and want to help but thats the percentage with no authority. Ever since the director , may he rest in peace, passed tgis place does not care about the patience especially the one following the rules
