About Brown University Health Recovery Center
People 16 and older who are dealing with substance use can get care at Brown University Health Recovery Center. It’s an outpatient program in Providence, and some people are also dealing with depression or anxiety.
The center belongs to Rhode Island Hospital, part of Brown University Health, in Rhode Island.
Psychiatrists are on the staff with the counselors and therapists, and they’re available to every patient.
Opiate Medication in Providence
For an opiate use disorder, Brown University Health Recovery Center prescribes Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone, a medication for that disorder).
Naltrexone (Vivitrol) is the other medication they commonly prescribe.
Both come with therapy, which can be individual or in a group and can happen in person or by telehealth. Visits start weekly with a physician or a therapist, and they can move to monthly once a person is stable.
You have another appointment while stabilization is still underway.
Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and a walk-in is an option. If you schedule ahead, you’ll have a first appointment within 10 days.
That first visit is an evaluation of whether the program will work for you, and of how care can be set up.
