<p><strong>ABOUT KENT HOSPITAL - BEHAVIORAL HEALTH</strong></p> <p>Kent Hospital is a <strong>major medical hospital</strong> in Warwick, R.I., operated by nonprofit Care New England, which also runs several other hospitals in the state. The Behavioral Health unit provides <strong>inpatient care for individuals struggling with a range of mental health disorders, as well as substance abuse</strong>. Kent Hospital also operates a Behavioral Health unit at <a href="http://www.rehabs.com/listings/butler-hospital-2207471329/" target="_blank">Butler Hospital</a> in nearby Providence, another Care New England facility. Kent Hospital is <a href="(https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/RI17.pdf" target="_blank">one of 48 facilities</a> to offer substance abuse treatment in Rhode Island. In the state, it is also <a href="(https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/RI17.pdf" target="_blank">among 31 private, nonprofit facilities</a> to offer substance abuse treatment.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Kent Hospital provides very little specific information about its addiction treatment programs, though the facility's website notes that services at nearby Butler Hospital include <strong>individual therapy, 12-step meetings, medication management services,</strong> and a range of groups, such as medication education, family support, and occupational therapy, as well as focus groups. </p> <p>Since the two units are operated by the same organization, Kent Hospital likely offers a similar roster of services. Kent Hospital also provides <strong>spiritual and pastoral care</strong> in all of its departments, courtesy of volunteers and interfaith chaplains. As a hospital-based program, the <strong>goal of short-term hospitalization is to stabilize the patient</strong> and refer them to a less-restrictive level of care. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Kent Hospital's Behavioral Health unit is staffed by board-certified psychiatrists and certified psychiatric nurses. Patients also have access to other resources on the center’s medical team. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Kent Hospital's Behavioral Health unit has <strong>11 beds</strong>, and Kent's unit at Butler Hospital has 20 beds. There currently is no further information provided by the facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings, though prospective clients can expect a hospital rather than a home-like setting. The individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility four out of five stars for its accommodations and amenities, and three stars for meals and nutrition as well as exercise and leisure offerings. </p> <p>Kent Hospital is served by the RIPTA bus system. Visitors can park at the facility for free in designated areas in the onsite lot. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has yet to receive any alumni feedback to date. On secondary sites, Kent Hospital received mixed coverage to date: 3.7 out of five stars based on 408 reviews on Facebook, which the organization can manage; and two stars based on 33 reviews on Yelp. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> Note that these ratings applied to the services provided by the facility, as a whole, rather than to the Behavioral Health unit in particular. </p> <p>Many reviewers referenced their ER, surgery, and maternity delivery experiences. Those on the positive end praised the efficient and engaging treatment they received from the doctors and nurses, such as J.P. on Facebook, who wrote: "My stay was very pleasant, staff attentive and professional, patient and caring. I love our little hospital and all the improvements they've made. It is a pleasant experience."</p> <p>Conversely, negative comments concerned rude and unprofessional treatment, incompetent medical staff, intolerable wait times, overbilling, and lack of communication, such as that expressed by G.B.: “Absolutely horrible. The staff are rude every time we come and they have us waiting for 6+ hours every single visit.” </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com submitted mixed impressions of Kent Hospital’s Behavioral Health unit at the time of this writing. On the plus side, the reviewer awarded four out of five stars to several evaluated metrics, from family participation to staff experience and training, and treatment effectiveness, as well as a moderate three stars to counseling options, holistic offerings, and treatment of <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>. </p> <p>However, they assigned two stars to other metrics, such as affordability, connectivity/visitor policy, facility cleanliness and upkeep, and likelihood to recommend. The anonymous reviewer felt that a strength of the facility was that it was “Close by” and that a weakness was that it was “Too expensive.” </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Kent Hospital <strong>accepts most insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid</strong> and attempts to verify coverage before a client is admitted. The hospital also provides some financial assistance. The individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility a negative rating for its affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/KentHospital/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/KentHospital/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/kent-hospital-warwick" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/kent-hospital-warwick</a></small></p>
