About Addiction Recovery Institute South
Addiction Recovery Institute (ARI) South operates at 205 Hallene Road, Suite 102, in Warwick, Rhode Island, as the southern of the agency’s two locations. ARI North is in Pawtucket at 31 N. Union Street. Together, the two clinics serve adults across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts who are dealing with opioid use disorder and other substance-related conditions.
The clinical core at ARI is medication-assisted treatment. The program offers methadone and buprenorphine maintenance for opioid use disorder as part of an outpatient model that combines daily or near-daily dosing with substance-use counseling. For patients with a shorter history of opioid use disorder and little to no prior treatment, ARI also offers a detoxification program designed to be more rapid than the open-ended maintenance pathway. General outpatient substance abuse counseling is available to any individual with substance use concerns, not only those in MAT.
ARI is CARF-accredited and federally certified as an Opioid Treatment Program. SAMHSA records reflect specialty accommodations for pregnant women, young adults, older adults, men, women, and court-ordered patients. Co-occurring mental health conditions are addressed within the clinical model, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a documented modality.
Warwick dosing runs Monday through Friday from 5:30 am to 11:00 am, with Saturday dosing from 7:00 am to 9:30 am. Office hours extend Monday through Thursday from 5:30 am to 2:00 pm and Friday from 5:30 am to noon. Accepted payment includes Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay. The clinic emphasizes a culture of dignity, with the team stating that every patient is known by name. Phone: 401-737-4788. Email: rgribbin@methadone.com.
