AdCare Hospital

From day one I dead against going to any inpatient treatment and for many reasons but once I realized I lost control of what I thought I handled slipped away I made the call. Things I was worried about was smoking cigarettes freely-being able to speak to my son-other people that would be here-what they feed you -and that prison type feeling of being somewhere that you can’t leave. WELL ALL I CAN SAY I WAS WRONG *You can smoke at any point other than group but if you absolutely feel the need you can just don’t be disruptive * you’re allowed to have your phone and can make whatever calls needed at any point helped pass time on your free time I suggest to stay away from social media and focus on you *food was impressive way better than to be expected and to be honest endless snacks coffee juice milk and fruit I gained 11 pounds in 2 weeks lol *groups well that changed me it went from uncomfortable and uneasy to a effin family wow if you put everything in and learn everybody around you the connection and understanding is unimaginable There are few other things offered you will be able to do during you time here but I’ll tell you one thing I did that nobody including myself would believe during this time I put myself out of my element and spoke about myself almost 30yrs of I’m fine leave me alone now turned into opening up and learning myself parts of me that was broken and hidden now feels healed I’m not that guy. And to prove that I was out of my element I did fucking yoga omg from the streets and gangs motorcycle clubs and wild parts to Yoga lmfao Ad Care literally gave me every tool to life a healthy and better life I owe everything going foward to them I’m blessed and hope the next one in can receive everything I got out of this 💯 if you had enough of alcohol or drugs the only place to go is here…

I was treated with respect by the staff, they made sure I was well taken care of. The food was wonderful and I learned a lot from going to the groups

I am a lifelong drunk. From age 17 while in the Army I became a functioning alcoholic. I never wanted to stop and didnt care who knew it. At age 60 and after a dramatic chain of events, I positively felt that I would never drank again. I new the decision alone was not enough for me to just stop. I needed groundw. I ha e been here in North Kingstown Adcare for 65 days. It has and continues to be full of genuinely caring people. Not just people who perform their duties but people who become intimately involved with our lives so that we stand the best chance to remain sober. Im the type person who can see thru phony people. This place has changed my thinking process. I now have a place to live when I leave. I truly can't wait to go to my first AA meeting. This is my first and last detox/residential place I'll ever attend. Thank you Adcare for changing a hard individual to someone that I'm proud of. I have my personal angels here but I'll remain silent. I will do you proud K.

Great people and very helpful.

This was my 5th time in a facility for my alcoholism and I can honestly say I believe this was the game changer. From the facility itself, to the nurses, to the counselors, this place is nothing short of a "game changer". In just twenty-eight short days I've had a mental, spiritual (not in a religious sense, they don't push that), and physical transformation. You're taught PRACTICAL tools for coping with overwhelming emotions that you've previously ran from, cravings, to even dealing with "problematic" people that we're forced to deal with on a daily basis. You also learn about the mental maladies or deficiencies on a scientific and psychological level. It's not all Band-Aids to get through a tough moment, it's education on the areas we're mentally lacking as alcoholics and addicts so we can target the root of the problems. I walked in saying "f this place" and I left saying "I love this place". I cannot say enough positive things about this place and the genuine sense of hope I'm leaving with. For the first time in a very long time I want recovery for myself, not to appease others. I want to better myself for myself, again not for others.
