Open Sky Community Services provides the foundation for those we serve to see beyond and live beyond their circumstance. By blending best practices with the power of community, we enable individuals and families to achieve their goals and live their best lives.

 For over forty years, AdCare Hospital has helped individuals and families struggling with alcohol and drug use… one life at a time. The AdCare name represents innovation, quality and cost efficiency in alcohol and drug treatment. AdCare’s integrated system of care offers a nationally recognized hospital facility in Worcester, MA an inpatient treatment center in North Kingstown, RI and a network of outpatient offices conveniently located throughout Massachusetts and RI. We believe that addiction is a disease that affects not only the individual, but his or her family as well. Successful treatment requires placement at the appropriate level of care and involvement of the family throughout the treatment continuum.
