"Ocean State Recovery was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I came in a broken person with a lot of baggage and trauma. The clinical staff and the techs there taught me how to live again. They were nothing but supportive and loving... They truly care and will treat you as family..."
"Amazing caring and knowledgeable staff who truly care about the well being and success of there clients. If you or a loved one is struggling this is the place to be. Great structured program that gives you the tools you need to live a sober life."
With an extremely high 4.9-star rating across hundreds of reviews, negative feedback is exceptionally rare and does not follow a consistent theme. The very few critical points found online tend to relate to isolated administrative issues or scheduling, rather than the quality of clinical care or staff interaction.
Tip: The program's outpatient model requires a degree of personal accountability, which clients consistently praise as empowering for their long-term recovery.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment?
Inpatient addiction treatment, also known as residential treatment, involves living at a facility 24/7 for 28 days to several months, offering a highly structured environment with round-the-clock medical and psychological support, daily therapy, and a controlled setting to minimize triggers, making it ideal for those with severe addictions, co-occurring disorders, or unstable home environments, though it’s more expensive and requires time away from daily responsibilities. In contrast, outpatient treatment allows individuals to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, ranging from a few hours weekly to several hours daily, through programs like Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP, 2-6 weeks), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP, 8-12 weeks), and standard Outpatient Programs (OP, as long as needed), which are more affordable and flexible, suiting those with milder addictions or strong support systems transitioning from inpatient care. PHP involves 20-30 hours weekly of intensive therapy, focusing on stabilization and skill-building; IOP reduces to 9-20 hours weekly, emphasizing relapse prevention and life skills while allowing work or school; OP offers 1-9 hours weekly for ongoing support, tailored to individual needs, fostering long-term recovery while reintegrating into daily life.
