About

About CODAC Pawtucket Avenue

CODAC Pawtucket Avenue is located at 600 Pawtucket Avenue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and is one of eight CODAC Behavioral Healthcare locations statewide. Founded in 1977, CODAC is one of Rhode Island’s most established nonprofit providers of outpatient behavioral healthcare, and the Pawtucket Avenue site offers the full range of services that have made the organization a cornerstone of the state’s behavioral health system.

Clinically, the site focuses on outpatient treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing anchor the therapeutic model, supported by individual and group counseling. CODAC’s Substance Abuse Treatment Team (SATT) is coordinated by Clinical Director Raymond A. Lorraine, MA, ADS, CADC, LCDP, TTS. Specialty programs include the HOPE Initiative — Rhode Island’s coordinated response to the opioid crisis — directed by Dennis Leahey, plus gambling disorder treatment and tobacco cessation services. Amanda Martins serves as Administrator.

The Pawtucket Avenue location offers more than clinical services. CODAC hosts community meeting and group rooms available to community partners, runs trainings and workshops for professionals across Rhode Island, and provides 24-hour access to care, seven days a week. The newly opened Royal Little Drive location in Providence — part of the same CODAC network — adds fully integrated primary care, dentistry, and additional services that complement the outpatient behavioral health programs offered in Pawtucket.

CODAC is CARF-accredited. The Pawtucket Avenue site can be reached at (401) 808-6278. As part of its statewide network, CODAC also operates correctional facility programs and mobile medical units that reach underserved communities, ensuring that clients across Rhode Island have access to evidence-based behavioral health care regardless of where they live or work.

Operating Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2 PM, CODAC provides structured detox programs with 24-hour access to care when medical complications arise. Their clinical team monitors withdrawal symptoms, adjusts medications as needed, and provides crisis intervention during the detox process, ensuring patient safety throughout medically supervised withdrawal.

Clinical Staff and Medical Supervision

Clinical Director Raymond A. Lorraine (MA, ADS, CADC, LCDP, TTS) oversees all detox protocols and withdrawal management services at CODAC Pawtucket Avenue. The clinical team includes specialized addiction counselors trained in medical detox procedures and withdrawal assessment, ensuring appropriate medical supervision throughout the detox process.

CODAC's staff provides detox services in both English and Spanish, addressing the needs of diverse patient populations requiring withdrawal management. The facility's CARF accreditation demonstrates adherence to national standards for medical detox and substance abuse treatment protocols.

Specialized Services for Veterans and Seniors

CODAC Pawtucket Avenue offers specialized detox programs for veterans and seniors, populations that often require modified withdrawal management approaches. The facility accepts TRICARE insurance, making medical detox accessible to military families and veterans throughout Rhode Island.

Senior patients receive age-appropriate detox protocols that account for medical comorbidities and medication interactions common in older adults undergoing withdrawal. Veterans benefit from trauma-informed detox services that recognize the unique challenges faced by military personnel in addiction recovery.

CODAC's early morning hours beginning at 5:30 AM accommodate working adults who need to attend detox appointments before work or other daily obligations.
