I’m writing especially for the labor & delivery unit- it’s amazing. They took good care of me and my babies. I was bleeding out a whole lot after my C-section almost needed a transfusion but Dr. Ludwig and her great team of nurses and other doctors saved me from needing one and helped me so much. My night shift nurse Maricel I will never forget she took good care of me and my twins. Had a great experience my time there. My twin b needed to be on oxygen and he only needed it for 2 days and the nurses in the nursery took great care of him. Thank you guys.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. -- Ashley M.
We had a wonderful experience with Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital today 10/6/2025. We’ve lived here almost two years, and one of our family members stayed overnight due to a planned surgery. She had a common surgery and from the start, of scheduling the surgery day w/ the hospital, to our pre op appt, to registration the morning of surgery day, Communication updates throughout the surgery and post op info/ aftercare, followed by all the staff up on floor 2, and the customer service workers in the Dietary Dept (as we often took breaks for meals as a family). We were SO happy & very pleased with how the common thread overall was genuine kindness!
First off, as an older building it was So very clean and modernized ( in every area of the hospital) ,we appreciated how all the bathrooms were clean and stocked, how the very informative and friendly staff in the surgery waiting rooms were to us. They were friendly, roughy everyone fresh donuts and coffee and pastries How very professional, kind, and supportive everyone was to our family & our family member who was a patient there, today. The gift shop was a whole precious vibe!! Loved!!. The beautiful wall of excellence of team members on the wall and all the beautifully displayed portraits of newborns on L&D floor!!. We especially want to give high praise to Jessamine our nurse who didn’t quite understand our family dynamics as we are FHP’s but spoke so positively about us as a whole family unit, that was above and beyond!!.. 🥹That was the warmth we all needed, especially as we are newbies to the surgery scene. She was radiating, she was so joyful, light hearted, funny and very sweet to our two family members staying overnight. She went the extra mile and so did Taylor the other nurse, accommodating our family/ patient & us with her comfort level, and really making sure the patient was her top priority while also going beyond her duties sweetly. . Loved seeing that!!! They are both nurses on the labor and delivery floor, and you should really be proud to have them on your team...we’re actually still here & not even discharged yet and we continue to be impressed and at ease during our stay. We’re all grateful for such an amazing experience! I couldn’t wait to get on here and express our appreciation. We are very proud to be living here in Somerset, and we especially feel confident, that when we need future medical care, that we have a great hospital and team by our side and yet so close to home…Plz Keep up the good work & great standards you’ve set in your hospital. It shows BEST when ppl truly do what they LOVE …as a career.. & today we saw plenty of just that! Thanks again & Have a blessed day!

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. It is our honor to provide quality care. -- Ashley M.
Great hospital to give birth at! I had my baby there in august and all of the nurses in labor in delivery were so nice and very accommodating of my needs! The guy who did my epidural was tido and he did an amazing job! Didn’t feel a thing as he was doing it not even pressure. One of the nurses let me hug her while I was contracting as he was doing my epidural which made me feel a lot better because I was so scared. Doctor Alecia Fields delivered my baby and she was so great too, she listened to what I wanted and didn’t give me an unnecessary episiotomy which has happened to all of my family. I tore but barely and had a VERY easy recovery like I was up walking around the day I gave birth. The nurses in postpartum were more stern but still really nice! My favorite was Conn (I don’t think I spelled that right) she is like a baby guru she knew everything about babies, and treated my newborn with care. Lab was a little rude, they seemed upset when I was trying to feed my baby because they needed to do labs but I guess that’s understandable. Overall 10/10 experience would definitely give birth here again!

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Inpatient
Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those in crisis situations that may increase their risk of relapse. Clients reside at the inpatient treatment center for the length of the program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on the program design. Inpatient treatment typically includes 24-hour clinical care and extensive addiction counseling and recovery education using CBT, DBT, RBT, motivational interviewing or other psychotherapeutic approaches.
Intervention Services
Intervention services provide an experienced professional to guide families through a drug intervention in Kentucky. The interventionist starts with an introduction, then acts as a mediator as family members share their concerns with the substance user. This addiction expert can then guide the family in appropriate next steps based on the outcome of the intervention. They can offer ongoing support for the intervention process, whether the individual chooses treatment or not.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
