NAFI has been operating residential and non-residential programs in Rhode Island since 1989. The RI Continuum was established in 1994, connecting seven of its programs in a continuum of care, from most to least restrictive. In 2004, NAFI/RI grew into a comprehensive network of nine programs, serving adolescents and adults.

The NAFI/RI Network includes both juvenile justice and behavioral health programs. ACE and Alternatives, the most restrictive programs, include residential schools. Clients may transition to group homes (adolescent and adult), foster homes, independent living programs, and eventually home with case management or outreach and tracking services. Client needs are met in the least restrictive setting. Consistency in philosophy and methods in the Normative Approach accounts for smooth and lasting transitions to less restrictive settings. All Network programs are united in their shared mission of learning and growing together. A series of social and educational events bind all the Network programs throughout the year.
