About LifeStance Health – Herriman

Addiction Recovery Institute operates from 31 North Union Street in Pawtucket. The site sits in Providence County, which shapes which public funding routes apply. Nearby communities include Central Falls, East Providence and Valley Falls. Distance matters here, and the nearest option is not always the one that fits.

Detox and outpatient care are delivered here, alongside medication-assisted treatment, an opioid treatment program, telehealth appointments and care for co-occurring mental health conditions. Which level fits depends on the assessment rather than on what is available, so the useful first question is what that assessment involves.

Detox and Rehab Services at Addiction Recovery Institute

Withdrawal management covers opioid dependence and is handled on site rather than referred elsewhere. Stepping down into continuing care happens with the same team, so there is no second intake to sit through. What a first week looks like differs between providers more than the level of care name suggests.

Buprenorphine and methadone are available and paired with counseling rather than prescribed alone. Co-occurring mental health conditions are treated in the same building rather than split across providers. Assessment decides the level of care, so ask what that involves and how quickly it can happen.

How Much Does Treatment at Addiction Recovery Institute Cost?

Treatment at Addiction Recovery Institute typically costs $1,750 to $5,600 for a week of medically supervised withdrawal and $1,500 to $5,500 a month for standard outpatient. These are Rhode Island market ranges rather than this facility’s own published figures. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.

This site accepts cash or self-payment, private insurance, Medicaid and federal military insurance. Ask whether the quoted figure includes assessment, medication and aftercare, since those are often billed separately. What you pay turns on cover and length of stay rather than the headline range.

Addiction Recovery Institute Address, Location and Contact Information

The address is 31 North Union Street, Pawtucket, RI 02860, in Providence County. The catchment reaches Central Falls, East Providence and Valley Falls. Confirm what a program covers before traveling in, since the level of care listed is not always the level with capacity.

Telehealth appointments cover some contact where travel is difficult, which removes part of the journey for people further out. Ask what a first appointment involves and how long the current wait runs before making the trip. Waiting times vary with capacity, so call ahead rather than arriving unannounced.

Addiction Recovery Institute Verified by the RehabSeekers Editorial Verification Team

This entry was checked by our Editorial Verification Team ahead of publication. Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare licensing records and the national treatment register were both consulted, alongside accreditation held with CARF. Those records are the source for what appears here, not material supplied by the provider.

Public records are the source here, not marketing copy. What the register confirms is the level of care offered, not the experience of receiving it. Listings are reviewed as those records change, though details can move faster than any register updates.

Addiction Recovery Institute Reviews and Ratings

Reviews of withdrawal management at Addiction Recovery Institute tend to turn on how quickly someone was seen and how the first week felt. Registration data leaves that gap open, and lived experience is what fills it. Star ratings say less than a short account of what actually happened and when.

If you have used this service, describing what followed the program helps more than a rating. Whether family were involved, and at what stage, is worth mentioning too. Waiting times, staffing and how the first appointment was handled are the things future readers ask about.

ARI in Pawtucket truly saved my life. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the care, support, and compassion I received during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt heard, supported, and treated with kindness and respect. The staff made me feel like I mattered when I needed it most. I genuinely don't know where I would be today without the help I received at ARI. The experience changed my life and gave me the support and hope I needed to move forward. I will forever be grateful to everyone there for what they did for me. If you are struggling and need help, please know that reaching out can make a difference. ARI made that difference for me.

If you really can avoid coming here please try to and go somewhere else. Their rules are horrid and they are more worried about covering theirs more than the actual patient. Go somewhere else please avoid this place if you're tryna get better

This is the place if you’re really struggling and need some outside help. The rules are pretty simple. However my big Downside is this is a for profit company. For the 80 or so they get from each patient it should be invested into quality case workers. I’m not saying they are all bad but I’ve been here for about 5 or so years, and I’ve just been given my 7th case worker granted only 5 we’re supposed to be permanent. The case worker I just finally got Is the only one you’ve hired that has personal experience.

This place is a s*** show. All staff is terribly rude. Only person that was nice is Jessica. Always gave me a hard time. The receptionist is a complete a**. Went there a few years on and off didn't help much. The nurses have no compassion for anyone. You are there to help people who have a problem. You are in the wrong field if you can't show sympathy for people trying to get help. If it wasn't for people like us you would not have a job. I finally went to codac. It's so much better. The environment is a whole lot better. They actually care and want to help. Would never go back again.
