Levels of Care

1
Inpatient Rehab
There are multiple options for addiction treatment in Kentucky. During inpatient treatment, you live at the facility and are able to focus on creating a new way of life. In inpatient care, you learn the roots of substance use, get a better understanding of the long-term impact of addiction, and learn how to use healthy coping skills and a strong support network to achieve recovery.
2
Outpatient Rehab
Attending outpatient treatment in Kentucky allows you to get evidence-based care without living in the facility, helping you establish long-term recovery. Outpatient treatment is less intensive than inpatient care and may include both counseling and attendance at a 12-step or other recovery support group.
3
Aftercare Support
Overcoming substance use is a lifelong process. Aftercare in Kentucky gives you the support you need to stay sober. Aftercare services help provide stability as you establish your new life and may include help with employment, housing, sober activities, making friends, and finding long-term support.
4
Sober Living Homes
Sober living in Kentucky is focused on giving you a substance-free place to live, giving you the support you need to stay sober long-term. Sober living helps provide stability as you establish your new life. You’ll be able to find a job, make new friends, fill your calendar with sober activities, and create a life you love.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
In Kentucky, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you identify wrong thinking that can create impulsive actions. This makes it much easier to reach long-term recovery. Your underlying core beliefs can cause you to automatically react in certain ways. CBT helps you identify these immediate responses, challenge them, and choose a healthier response.
Experiential Therapy
In Kentucky, experiential therapy is a holistic therapy that is widely used in addiction treatment. Experiential therapy can help you face your emotions and learn skills that give you a healthier way to manage stress and handle substance use triggers in day-to-day life.
Group Therapy
Attending group therapy in Kentucky is a way to overcome shame and isolation, helping you establish long-term recovery. Group therapy can be part of detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care. It’s generally combined with individual counseling, activities, life-skills classes, and relapse prevention planning.
Individual Therapy
During individual therapy in Kentucky, clients work with a professional to address specific individual concerns. A professional therapist can help you identify substance use triggers, reshape your thinking about specific topics, and address prior experiences and trauma that impact your substance use habits.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy in Kentucky can provide a way to process past events and create better coping strategies as you work through substance use treatment. Trauma-informed therapy is one element of rehab treatment, which also includes activities, peer support, individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
