About St. Mary’s Home for Children

St. Mary’s Home for Children closed in January 2025 after an admirable 145 years of service in the North Providence, Rhode Island community. They primarily served children who had been affected by sexual abuse, human trafficking, domestic violence, and other traumas.

Their services didn’t treat addiction directly, but their extensive mental health program addressed several overlapping concerns for children and teens with co-occurring disorders.

Guidance and Support for Families Affected by Sexual Abuse

I saw that St. Mary’s understood the deep way sexual abuse affected families and worked with every family member to find healing.

For youths who were exploring sexually following a traumatic event, they helped them find healthier and safer ways to express themselves and regulate their emotions.

Equine-Assisted Therapy for PTSD and Depression

One unique service that St. Mary’s offered was equine-assisted psychotherapy – a form of individual therapy that involved interacting with trained therapy horses. I’m impressed how youths would feed, brush, watch, and lead horses while forming a strong bond with the gentle animals.

Over time, working with the horses gave youths a chance to discover more about themselves and work through traumas and other mental health conditions.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

For those who need intensive treatment, inpatient drug rehab in Rhode Island allows you to reside at the treat...ment center for the length of the program, which may range from a few weeks to more than three months. You'll attend multiple addiction counseling sessions per week, including individual, group, and family counseling.

Detox & MAT

When you enter drug rehab in Rhode Island, you’ll begin your road to recovery with detox. This is the proces...s of slowly and safely ridding your body of addictive substances. The length of detox varies, based on personal history and type of substances used.

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Rhode Island involves less frequent sessions than inpatient programs. You’ll attend ther...apy and 12-step meetings, while maintaining other life responsibilities. This will help you remain accountable while learning to live a sober lifestyle.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Substance abuse and mental illness often overlap. If you struggle with addiction and a condition such as anxie...ty or depression, you need dual diagnosis treatment in Rhode Island. This will provide treatment for both disorders.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

For those who need intensive addiction treatment but cannot manage the commitment of an inpatient stay, partia...l hospitalization programs (PHPs) can be a good fit. A PHP provides recovery services an average of five days per week for several hours each day, but you’re able to live at home instead of residing at a drug rehab in Rhode Island.
