Open Doors RI Women's Sober House

About this Sober House

Open Doors RI is a recovery residence in Providence, Rhode Island, in Providence County, at 485 Plainfield Street. The address is the organization's long-standing base on the city's west side.

Plainfield Street as a Recovery Address

Open Doors RI publishes 485 Plainfield Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02909 as its address, and the organization's own history records that the Plainfield Street offices opened together with housing on the same site in 2010. The building is therefore both an administrative address and a place where people live, which is unusual and worth knowing before a visit.

Who Lives at Open Doors RI

Open Doors RI works with people leaving incarceration, addiction and homelessness. Housing run under the Open Doors RI name is shaped around reentry, and the state's Behavioral Health Open Beds registry carries a separate Open Doors Women provider entry in Providence. Places in Open Doors RI recovery housing are reached through Rhode Island's statewide 942-STOP line and the state recovery housing network.

The Resource Center Downstairs

The Open Doors RI Resource Center occupies the first floor of the Plainfield Street building and is open on weekdays. A resident does not have to travel to reach case management, employment help or application assistance; those services sit in the same building.

Part of a Four-House Network

RICARES certifies four Open Doors RI residences across Providence and Pawtucket.

Most staff at Open Doors RI have themselves overcome incarceration or addiction, which is the organization's stated reason for building housing this way.
