Integrated Primary and Behavioral Healthcare

Research has shown that, due to chronic, preventable illnesses, people with behavioral health problems have a life expectancy that is 25 years shorter than the general population. But it doesn’t have to be that way …

At The Providence Center we strongly believe in the power and potential of recovery and know that with proper care our clients, regardless of the challenges they face, can and will recover. This philosophy guides us as we strive to offer a full array of comprehensive health and wellness services designed to serve the behavioral and physical health needs of people experiencing mental health and substance use problems.

Integrated Primary and Behavioral Health Care integrates primary care, mental health and substance abuse treatment under one roof. This model of care—the first of its kind in Rhode Island—is not only changing and saving lives but also shaping the future of the delivery of mental health and physical health services nationwide.
