Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs
Transitional/Long-Term Substance Abuse Treatment

The Long-Term Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program of The Providence Center provides substance abuse treatment to men and women who are chronically addicted to alcohol or drugs. Residents are provided with individual and group treatment, case management, as well as follow-up care crucial to the recovery of high-risk adults who may lack stable support in the community. Although many of our residents are learning to cope with additional medical and mental health problems, all members of this program are chemically dependent and share a common goal: learning to live without the use of alcohol and/or other illicit drugs.

Length of Stay

The length of stay here can be three to nine months or longer, depending on the individual needs of the client. If the client is in transition, such as waiting for short-term residential treatment or sober housing elsewhere, his or her stay would be a minimum of one month. An exception is made if the client is already on another waiting list when he or she arrives, and that space becomes available before the month is up.

About the Program

During your treatment, you will attend daily sessions, including group therapy, men's or women's groups, social skills, relaxation therapy, cognitive restructuring therapy, relapse prevention, and daily living skills. Along with therapy groups, you will attend the 12-Step Programs of AA and NA. Staff will keep you informed of social service programs and housing options.You Are Not Alone

  • A substance abuse therapist will help you develop and monitor your treatment plan.
  • A case manager will assist you with employment preparation and job interviews, as well as with sober housing searches.
  • An activities counselor will assist you in developing daily living skills and leisure time activities.
  • You will maintain contact with your mental health provider, primary care physician, and your parole or probation officer as needed.

Cost

Fees are negotiated on the basis of the client's ability to pay. For subsidized treatment, clients must meet state-income and residency guidelines.

Admission

Clients may be admitted to the program through The Providence Center's Intake Office at 401-276-4020.
