About CODAC Behavioral Healthcare – East Bay – East Providence
CODAC Behavioral Healthcare is the oldest non-profit outpatient substance abuse treatment center in Rhode Island. They have seven locations and also work with the Rhode Island Department of Corrections. Their East Providence location offers counseling, medication-assisted treatment, ear acupuncture and therapeutic massage.
At CODAC, they offer several medication options for their MAT. Methadone, suboxone, and naltrexone are available. Your provider and you will discuss the options and choose the right one for your needs. By law, counseling has to be paired with these medications. You’ll work with licensed mental health professionals in both private and group sessions to progress on your recovery.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at CODAC ranges from 4-6 weeks. It includes individual and group counseling sessions equalling at least 9 hours each week.
Their general outpatient program is similar to IOP except the number of treatment hours per week can be less. This route is ideal for those who are further along on their recovery and don’t need as much structure.
I like that CODAC focuses on the value of lifestyle benefits you’ll get from being free of substances. Your family member is encouraged to be part of your treatment and recovery journey.
Once you make contact with CODAC, you’ll be on a treatment track within 24-48 hours.
CODAC accepts Medicaid and Ritecare plus most commercial insurance plans including United Healthcare, Neighborhood Health Plans, Tufts and Blue Cross.
