Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

SUN Behavioral Health Kentucky works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive levels of rehab involve 24-hour clinical care in Kentucky. This level of care is for those who have severe substance use disorders and need medical stabilization. Drug dependency can cause extreme withdrawal symptoms when the drug use stops, so this supervised care is necessary to treat those symptoms. Treatment involves 24-hour medical care, counseling, and medications.

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.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) specialize in high-level care for clients requiring robust support. This includes those in early recovery, those in crisis, and those stepping down from inpatient care. Clients typically participate in a minimum of nine treatment hours per week, but many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 hours of service weekly. Their primary treatment modalities generally combine psychotherapy and recovery education. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and/or opioid recovery is widely available.

Outpatient rehabs enable clients to integrate addiction treatment into their daily lives. Clients typically continue to work and reside at home, but may engage in daily therapeutic sessions, depending on need. Outpatient treatment generally involves individual, group, and/or family therapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and a variety of ancillary services, such as career counseling or vocational training. Outpatient rehabs often encompass multiple levels of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient.

Medical detox is the process of weaning your body off addictive substances in a medically supervised environment. An on-site medical team may include physicians, nurses, therapists, and other clinical staff whose job it is to monitor your vitals and provide medications if necessary to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Their goal is to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the process.. Medically assisted detox programs are individualized to meet your specific needs and can vary in length, but they tend to last 5-7 days.

Treatments

Alcoholism is a term used to describe a level of drinking that causes harm to a person's health. Also known as alcohol addiction or alcohol use disorder (AUD), the dependency involves a strong, often uncontrollable urge to drink.This condition is treatable through alcohol rehab in Kentucky. Programs typically involve supervised detox, behavioral treatments, medications, and mutual-support groups.

Drug rehab in Kentucky often starts with detox, then includes inpatient or outpatient treatment, and continues with aftercare support. Specific methods used during each of these phases varies, but often include individual and group counseling, medication, and recreational therapies.

In Kentucky, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs prioritize comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Levels of care include residential rehab, detox, and intensive outpatient programs. Interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, therapy, education and family counseling treat both mental health conditions at the same time. The benefits of dual-diagnosis treatment are enhanced outcomes, improved health, and they provide you with the skills to maintain your sobriety and manage your mental health.

mental-health iconMental Health And Substance Abuse

In Kentucky, comprehensive substance abuse treatment programs are available to address addiction and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Typically, treatment programs offer various levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. Treatment activities include individual and group therapy, recovery support meetings, evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychoeducation. By the end of treatment you will have the resources and supportive recovery community to sustain long-term mental health and sobriety.

Programs

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

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.

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Kentucky involves learning to recognize unhealthy thinking patterns and developing problem solving skills to cope with life's challenges. It will help you have greater confidence in your abilities so you can change your patterns of behavior and break free from substance abuse.

In individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction, the therapist and patient work together to address the challenges and triggers that drive addictive behavior. This offers a customized approach to a healthier, substance free life.

Men and women in Kentucky participating in group therapy learn to express their feelings and struggles with drug addiction in a non judgmental atmosphere. Your peers can offer you empathy and encouragement because they understand your journey to recovery. This fosters a sense of community and belonging that may extend far after group therapy sessions.

Life skills equip you to obtain and maintain employment, establish healthy relationships, develop a healthy daily routine, manage your finances, and practice self care. Because these are an important part of successful recovery, life skills training should be an integral part of your rehab in Kentucky.

Holistic alcohol and drug addiction treatment centers use recreational therapy to help you find a constructive way to spend your time and manage your stress. Activities can include yoga, team sports, creative arts, and painting. These encourage social interaction, support your physical fitness, and improve your mood, all of which are crucial for maintaining a successful recovery.

I just recently got released from a voluntary (which I regret beyond words) psychiatric hold at sun. I had a 9 day stay. I was told I could only be kept up to 1 week. The staff was terrible. They do not like when people call to speak to you. And regardless if your having a panic attack, bawling your eyes out to them, hyperventilating— they will NOT let you call anyone but a social or case worker before 5pm. Calls also last 10 minutes, and no you cannot just simply call that same person back and talk to them for another 10 minutes. My girlfriend called me so much doing the 9 day stay that they started putting her on hold to prevent me talking to her. Not only that, but when her calls did go through they’d lie and say “She’s sleeping” or that I “was in group therapy.” Mind you, I’d be sitting out in the unit KNOWING the calls were for me because she’d call back to back 3 times in a row. And there was multiple instances where they wouldn’t even answer the phone but be behind the nurses station. Also, they did nothing beneficial for me. I told them I had thoughts telling me I wanted to harm myself and they didn’t do a single thing about it because I “didnt plant on acting on it,” and if I did, it would’ve just caused me to be put on CVO a 24 hour watch. The food is terrible, it tasted fake and artificial. If you struggle with eating, DO NOT GO HERE. Because I struggle and all I got was these nasty Ensure drinks that tasted like the consistency of a syrup. They didn’t start giving me food I could actually eat until my last 2 days there. The entire 9 day stay I stayed 92 LBS in fact I lost weight because on the 2nd day I was 94lbs and left 92.8 lbs. I refused to eat their food because when I would eat it I would throw it up, and they said I was forcing myself to throw up. MIND TOU, there was multiple instances of where I had thrown up on the unit outside of my room so simply “forcing myself” to throw up wasn’t the case whatsoever. Genuinely hope I never get sent back here.

Before we lost my wife to an accidental overdose they tried convincing her that she didn't have an illness that had been previously diagnosed by several other medical professionals, which in turn caused her to refuse any medication or treatment which then caused her to completely spiral because "I'm not ill"... I would NEVER RECOMMEND for anyone who actually cares for their lived ones.

I was a patient here in 2020 and have refrained from posting my experience until now. I was 16 at the time, and I didn’t realize at the time how terrible the experience was. I was there for suicidal ideation due to my family situation and the staff was so incredibly unprofessional. We had horrible meals — goldfish crackers, sandwiches that looked like they had been sat on, and expired milk. We couldn’t have journal time outside of the time given to us during the day, with crayons. Which meant absolutely no reflection time was given in our rooms. I was assigned a shared room with a 13 year old girl who had many mental problems. At one point, she climbed into my bed and tried to sleep with me. At another point, she was trying to flirt with me. She continued singing and dancing nonstop during my entire 7 day stay here; and despite my repeated reports to the staff, I continued to be forced to stay in a room with her. People sat outside our shower and our room watching us and talking to us 24/7. The facility had many problems with patient behavior issues and we all felt the impact of that. The removed TV and crayon (+ journal) privileges if one of the kids acted poorly. They made all the patients clean the entire facility at the end of the night, sweeping and dusting, etc. AND, I was diagnosed by a “psychiatrist” with anxiety and depression, and was prescribed extremely strong meds, after seeing this “psychiatrist” for 10 minutes. At one point, I had chapstick in my pocket that I had forgotten to give to the front desk and one of the nurses freaked out and made me completely strip and ensured I didn’t have anything else on me. Overall, a horrible, unprofessional, and traumatizing experience.

I implore you to not send anyone you care about to this facility. I was with my daughter when she voluntarily admitted herself. We were told she would absolutely receive the medication that she had been on for months that was prescribed by her psychiatrist. They later told me that they like to stay away from Benzos. They diagnosed her as Bipolar 2 after meeting with the psychiatrist on staff for 15 minutes. That’s a really serious diagnosis to give someone that you have barely spoken to and who has been in your facility for less than 24 hours. They forced her to take a medication for Bipolar after this ridiculous diagnosis all while refusing to give her the medication that was previously prescribed. They wouldn’t allow her to leave even though she voluntarily admitted herself and she was specifically told she would be able to do if she decided it wasn’t for her. They threatened to put her on a hold when she expressed her distrust about being told she could leave at any time and then later being told that intake had lied to her. They also took away her phone privileges for making a fuss about not being able to leave as well as talked badly about me in front of her after I called to complain about the lies we were told while at intake. I honestly don’t know how anyone with a conscience can work there. They are supposed to help people and my child left more traumatized than she was to begin with. There was a few decent people there including Dolly and a male therapist. The rest of the place is a sad excuse for a mental health facility. When people are concerned about their loved ones they should feel comfortable knowing that there is a good and safe place to take them so that they will receive the help they desperately need. Sadly we have no other option in this area. We will never utilize this facility again. I will drive to another state if I have to.
