Galilee Mission Arnold Street is associated with the organization’s outpatient and intensive outpatient services in the Wakefield and South County area. Galilee Mission has served Rhode Island communities since 1984 and provides residential treatment, outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient care, transitional living, sober housing, and peer recovery support. The program is designed for adults who need help with alcohol or drug use but do not necessarily require a residential stay.
Outpatient Counseling
Galilee Mission offers substance use assessments, court-ordered treatment, urinalysis, and outpatient counseling. These services are available to people waiting for residential treatment and to clients who prefer to begin recovery while continuing to live at home. Treatment can involve the individual, family members, attorneys, probation officers, or other legal professionals when the client requests their participation.
Individual, group, and family counseling address emotions, life skills, relapse prevention, addiction education, anger management, relationships, health concerns, and other topics connected with recovery. Counselors help clients understand addiction, accept responsibility for recovery, and develop a plan that reflects personal needs and goals.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Galilee Mission’s intensive outpatient program is intended for people who need more structure than weekly counseling but cannot enter residential treatment. The program may also help someone experiencing strong warning signs of relapse who wants to address the problem before returning to alcohol or drug use.
The current IOP schedule described by Galilee Mission consists of approximately four weeks of relapse-prevention programming. Sessions are held for three hours per day on three evenings each week. This schedule allows participants to continue working or managing family responsibilities while receiving frequent clinical support.
Peer Recovery Support
Certified peer recovery specialists provide support based on lived experience. A peer can offer encouragement, help a client respond to cravings, connect the person with community resources, and provide guidance during stressful periods. Galilee Mission often pairs residents of its sober houses with peer specialists, but outpatient clients can also benefit from peer support.
Continuing Care and Residential Options
Clients who need more structure can be referred to Brett’s Place, Galilee Mission’s ASAM 3.5 high-intensity residential program in Wakefield, or Galilee House, its ASAM 3.1 residential program in Narragansett. Transitional living and sober housing can provide additional support after treatment. This continuum allows clients to move between levels of care as recovery needs change.
Galilee Mission’s outpatient model is intended to remain connected with the rest of its recovery system. Counselors can help clients prepare for a higher level of care, step down from residential treatment, or continue working on recovery after completing an intensive program.
Admissions and Payment
Galilee Mission can be reached at 401-789-9390. The official website identifies Medicaid and other payment arrangements across its programs, but specific coverage should be verified before treatment. Clients should confirm the current outpatient office address, evening IOP schedule, court-document requirements, insurance participation, and any fees before attending the Arnold Street program.
