SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — One of the pastoral properties held in Rhode Island by a controversial religious order could soon become an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center run by a new health-care company.
Pennsylvania-based Recovery Centers of America has an agreement to pay approximately $5 million for a 35.5-acre property off Route 1 that once housed the Immaculate Conception Academy, according to a company representative.
The company plans to convert the former boarding school into an addiction-treatment center with about 100 beds, said Matthew F. Callahan, the company’s Rhode Island lawyer. The facility would offer both in-patient and outpatient services.
It does not plan to subdivide the property.
