ABOUT THE PROVIDENCE CENTER – ROADS TO RECOVERY FOR MEN
Located in Eleanor Slater Hospital in Cranston, R.I., the Providence Center’s Roads to Recovery program offers residential treatment to men who are struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. An affiliate of the Care New England Health System, the program also provides access to outpatient care and sober transitional housing via its network of “Anchor Recovery” Community Centers. A similar facility for women is located in nearby Wyoming, R.I.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the facility’s website, treatment is 12-step based. Programming includes individuals and group therapy, medication management, addiction education, access to primary care, peer support and recovery coaching, housing and homeless services, and other support services such as vocational and legal assistance.
