Caritas gets $200,000 from feds for drug treatment

PAWTUCKET -- An adolescent substance-abuse treatment program, Caritas, has received $200,000 in federal funding to expand its drug-treatment services, according to U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island.

The money will support new programs to help opiate-addicted and opiate-using adolescents get counseling and medically assisted treatment, according to an announcement from Reed’s office.

Caritas operates a number of treatment services throughout the state, including Corkery House for boys in Richmond, Caritas House for girls in Pawtucket and five out-patient programs throughout the state.
