Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Programs
CODAC Cranston provides flexible outpatient addiction treatment designed for adults who need structured recovery support while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. The facility offers both standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient treatment, allowing individuals to step down from residential treatment or begin their recovery journey in a community-based setting.
Intensive outpatient programs provide more frequent sessions for individuals requiring additional structure and support. Both programs utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing techniques, with sessions available through telehealth platforms when appropriate. This flexibility helps ensure continuity of care regardless of transportation challenges or scheduling conflicts.
