Are you or someone you know struggling with addiction? Providence Safe Stations is your connection to recovery.
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can visit any of Providence’s 12 fire stations, speak with the trained staff on duty, and immediately get connected to treatment support and services. Providence Safe Stations is free and provides a welcoming environment for when you’re ready for recovery.
The purpose of Providence Safe Stations is to address the overdose epidemic in Providence by providing hassle-free and immediate access to supportive services. Individuals living with substance use disorders may not be aware of the resources available to them or have the ability to access them. Providence Safe Stations breaks down barriers for individuals, allowing them access to critical supportive services provided by a peer in recovery when and where they need them most.
Providence Safe Stations is based on the model from Manchester and Nashua, NH, which also experience high rates of opioid overdose deaths. It is in alignment with the State of Rhode Island’s Overdose Prevention Action Plan, which includes expansion of peer recovery services and access to treatment options for long-term recovery. Providence Safe Stations is a partnership between the City of Providence’s Fire Department and The Providence Center’s Anchor Recovery with leadership and support from the RI Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals and the RI Department of Health.
