BHG Pawtucket Treatment Center

About BHG Pawtucket Treatment Center

The Pawtucket Treatment Center of the Behavioral Health Group network provides opioid addiction treatment in suburban Pawtucket, Rhode Island. They’re pretty close to the Seekonk River and McCoy Stadium. Adults are able to receive outpatient treatment for substance abuse.

Insurance is accepted, including Medicaid and Medicare. If you don’t have insurance, they have self pay payment options. Grant spots may be available if you qualify. The organization is accredited by CARF and The Joint Commission. They’re also members of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

What stood out to me is that they’re open seven days a week, with dispensing hours. If you can’t make it on weekdays, you can drop in on Saturday or Sunday. I do like that they offer flexibility so that you are still able to attend work, school and any other obligations.

They have local doctors, nurses, counselors and support staff to help you with your recovery. The counselors are also able to help diagnose you and treat you for co-occurring disorders.

Your treatment plan will be personalized. It will be based on your specific needs. For their addiction counseling, they use cognitive behavioral therapy. You’ll be able to attend individual, group and/or family therapy. You’ll learn how to manage stress and triggers without using drugs. By being able to identify your triggers that could lead to relapsing, you’ll be able to avoid them. The counselors will also teach you coping skills in case you’re unable to avoid triggers. If your condition is acute, they may refer you to the Spaulding Outpatient Center of Kent Hospital, which is just a couple of blocks away.

Along with therapy, you are able to receive medication assisted treatment (MAT). They use methadone an Suboxone to help you manage your cravings and ease your withdrawal symptoms. You’ll be able to have sessions with your counselor in person or virtually. I like that medical screenings and assessments are included with MAT. You’ll also be able to earn take home privileges, with your medication dosing, once you are stabilized.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Detox Service Setting

Outpatient Detox

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
MAT

Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.

Programs

Adult (18+)

Adult programs address the substance use and life challenges specific to adults. Therapists can deliver sessions in individual, group and family settings. Services often include job support and life skills training in a structured environment.

Young Adult (18 - 25)

Young adult programs are designed for individuals who are transitioning into adulthood. Topics of discussion typically include identity, independence and peer relationships. Providers may also offer life skills training and career support.
Women

Women's programs offer a safe and supportive space to focus on gender specific issues such as trauma, family roles and mental health conditions. Therapists tailor the sessions to address women's needs and foster empowerment in a healing and nurturing environment.
Men

Men's programs address substance use while also considering the social pressures, family roles and mental health concerns that are specific to men. You’ll learn healthy coping mechanisms as you build emotional resilience and develop communication skills.
LGBTQ Friendly

LGBTQ friendly programs create an inclusive and affirming space for recovery. Treatment is sensitive to issues like discrimination and stigma. You’ll receive support and therapy that respects and acknowledges your unique experiences.
