Caritas/Corkery Residential Treatment for Adolescents
Caritas, Inc. was awarded a federal grant to provide continuing care services to adolescents who have completed residential treatment in their facility for males (Corkery House) or females (Caritas House). NPIC/QAS provides evaluation services, determining the impact of treatment through three months post-discharge. Significant improvements have resulted from educational programming – youth perceive a greater risk associated with use of alcohol and drugs after three months of inpatient treatment. Gains are sustained post-treatment, with most youth maintaining abstinence, achieving stability in their family’s home, and attending school and/or working.

Project Link, an outpatient substance abuse program for women and children, has been working to integrate substance abuse treatment with behavioral health services (primarily provided through Women and Infants Hospital). NPIC/QAS has been evaluating the program, helping to identify "promising practices" for the State of RI.
