• Clients with medical coverage access substance abuse treatment through their private insurer or RITECARE.
• Clients with medical coverage, who are required to make co-payments, may be eligible for DCYF funding for co-payments if they are able to demonstrate financial hardship.
• Clients who are employed, with no medical coverage, may be eligible for services on a sliding scale fee basis through the treatment provider. Employed clients must be ineligible for funding through other sources and must demonstrate financial hardship in order to be eligible for DCYF funding of approved treatment services.
• Clients who are unemployed, and without medical coverage, may be eligible for services through the Rhode Island Department of Mental Health, Retardation and Hospitals (Division of Substance Abuse). Authorized Medicaid providers of substance abuse treatment services to adults provide a number of “state slots” for needy clients. Caretakers who have lost custody of their children, and whose participation in treatment is a prerequisite to reunification, are given priority. The DCYF worker refers eligible adults to “state slots” and requests that clients be placed on a waiting list if warranted.
• If no other means of funding is available, the Department may fund the following services for adults, at Medicaid approved rates, through the DCYF #005 process.  Current Medicaid rate will pre-fill when the #005 process is initiated in RICHIST.
• Assessment (50-90 Minutes)
• Fifteen sessions per quarter of individual or group counseling, or a combination of the two (determined in conjunction with the service provider):
• Individual Session (40-50 Minutes)
• Group Session  (40-50 Minutes)
• Drug Testing-DCYF funding for urine screens is limited to 12 random, supervised screens per quarter. Testing to detect multiple drug use is funded up to $20.00 per screen.
• The Following Services for Adults are not funded by DCYF
• Detoxification - Clients are referred to their insurance carrier, RITECARE, or “state slots” (SSTAR currently provides detoxification for indigent adults. Referrals may be made through 1-800-RISOBER).
• Residential and Day Treatment Programs- Clients are referred to their private insurer, RITECARE or “state slots”.
• Methadone Maintenance Programs - While DCYF does not fund methadone maintenance, it considers methadone maintenance, through a licensed provider, to be a therapeutic means of treating opiate addiction. Successful participation in a methadone maintenance program is not a barrier to reunification when case planning objectives are successfully met. Clients are referred to their private insurer, RITECARE, or “state slots”.
