I had Hiatal Hernia surgery, November 18th 2025. Duringy a 2 day stay, Dr. Totten and her team was wonderful. However, some of the nurses and techs on the 6th floor were awful. Some were better than others, a few didn't follow medicine protocols. Nurse/Tech wouldnt take me to the bathroom after I asked twice. Nancy the tech didn't do her job and I spoke to Dr. Totten's team about it, they talked to her, and afterwards she came in my room snappy and mouthy. I asked her to leave and I was trying to recover, and she kept on and wouldn't leave, when she did she slammed the door. Nurses on that floor or filling in or haven't been on that floor before still should ask questions if they don't know, making excuses doesn't not prevent mistakes. I rather not stay there again. Laura was an excellent nurse. She went above and beyond, I am thankful for her generosity and hospitality. She was the only one that knew how to do the job.

As you can see it deserves 1 star like the so many others have given. Sitting in my room now as I type this out. The older doctors need to retire because they're stuck in their ways and know nothing about Internal Medicine. Mine got mad because I have to work and change the treatment plan we previously discussed. I'm sorry I don't make hundreds of dollars from my insurance I work like a normal person. So instead of the original plan while in the hospital she decided to cut my medication short which will make me sick..I hope she and the other Doctors similar to her get what they deserve and all the pain/suffering they've afflicted on people. It's gonna be funny when I tell humana not to pay this bill because I'll pay it slowly. Also 50% of nighttime nurses are horrible and need ro be retrained for their bed side manner.

Entrance A. Registration lady downstairs was very nice. Very helpful. Security was nice and friendly. However, second floor surgery waiting, the old gray headed receptionist…. RUDE. As soon as I walked in with my daughter, she made a face of disgust. Then proceeded to tell me I couldn’t have her up here because she’s under 12. She went straight to the back, came back out, and said “I hate to be the bad guy but you have to wait downstairs with her because she’s under 12” mind you, she just assumed my child was under 12. Didn’t ask her age. Nothing. Her name is sue for anyone wondering. The registration lady got so heated about it, she gave me a phone number to call and complain on her and said that’s bull and she’s a very rude woman and so many have complained. My mother said even when she announced coffee was done, she was rude about it. Sorry, but the people you choose to staff, says a lot about your hospital. And someone with an attitude and demeanor like this, doesn’t need to work with people. Or at a hospital. I am disgusted at this woman.

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 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.

Participants in 12 step programs attend regular group meetings, which are free, anonymous, and open to the public. Most communities offer multiple meetings daily, with specialized formats, including programs for seniors, teens, and families, widely available. 12 step recovery prioritizes participants' spiritual, emotional, and psychological growth and healing to support their sustained sobriety. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring from a self-selected sponsor as they work through the 12 steps of recovery.

A sober living home in Kentucky offers many benefits to those in recovery. These drug-free environments allow individuals to distance themselves from situations that would prompt triggers and lead to relapse. Men's and women's sober living also offers 12-step programs, counseling, job placement services, and long-term residence after treatment. During their stay, residents are required to abstain from alcohol and drug use, pay rent, and contribute to household responsibilities.

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.

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Programs

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Trauma therapy provides you with a safe space to work through a trauma that you witnessed or experienced. Trauma informed therapy supports you to understand your emotional and physical responses and develop healthier coping mechanisms when exposed to triggers in the community. This improves your sense of self confidence and empowerment.

As you begin couples therapy in Kentucky, you'll outline the goals for therapy. Your therapist will then arrange to meet with you in weekly joint sessions and, in some cases, individual sessions. You'll receive homework assignments to practice each week between sessions that will help you reach your goals.

Family therapy provides families with a structured environment to address the complexities of addiction. You work with an experienced therapist to develop effective strategies for supporting your loved one's recovery while focusing on the well being of each member of the family unit.

Nutrition therapy is a form of holistic therapy that is often incorporated into drug rehab programs in Kentucky. Eating healthy meals and learning how to choose the best foods for recovery helps you heal faster and helps prevent relapse.

I came into the emergency room because my leg was so swollen & they told me I had cellulitis & ask me if I wanted them to drain it to get the swelling down & relieve the pressure & I said absolutely! The lady comes back in & says we're going to give you a prescription for a strong antibiotic but we're not going to drain it because we don't want to make it worse! This was on November 6th. Now it is November 10th & the pain & swelling is so much worse it still hasn't drained & I have no insurance. I look at my paper work & it says patient denied us draining it. I am very upset because I asked them to please drain it so it can relieve the pressure. Needless to say now I have to go to another emergency room & get billed for another emergency room visit to hopefully get the right treatment. If at all possible avoid this hospital!!
