NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AdCare Rhode Island, a leading provider of addiction treatment in South County<\/u><\/a>, has launched a new outpatient DUI\/refusal program for eligible first- and second-time offenders. The program helps individuals meet court-ordered treatment requirements following a DUI or refusal to submit to chemical testing, while addressing the underlying issues that contribute to impaired driving.<\/p>\n

The program, which lasts 10-12 weeks for a first-time offender and 15-20 weeks for a second-time offender, includes:<\/p>\n
