Butler Hospital Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services
About Butler Hospital Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services
Butler Hospital Alcohol and Drug Treatment Services offers psychiatric and substance abuse treatment affiliated with Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island. The program offers services for adults and adolescents through numerous proven approaches that treat substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, grounded in the philosophy that anyone with a desire for sobriety has a 100 percent chance of recovery.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Butler Hospital specializes in treating individuals with substance use disorders and underlying psychiatric illnesses such as depression, anxiety, PTSD or obsessive-compulsive disorder. As part of Brown University’s psychiatry department, the program integrates cutting-edge research with clinical expertise to address both addiction and mental health simultaneously.
Treatment combines therapies and medication for a whole person approach to recovery. Sessions focus on developing coping skills, emotional regulation, relapse prevention strategies, and addressing root causes through individual therapy, group work, and family involvement.
Medications to Relieve Symptoms
One of the core components included in the program is medication assisted treatment. This service reduces drug cravings and lessens withdrawal symptoms so guests can focus on healing without distractions that could hinder the treatment process.
Butler offers seamless transitions across all levels of care within the Care New England health system. Patients can progress from medically supervised detox through outpatient programs with specialized transitional support following hospital discharge to reduce readmission risk.
Butler accepts Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, private insurance and offers sliding scale fees and financial assistance for those without adequate coverage.
