Can't I just get sober on my own?

• If you’re reading this page, you’ve already tried to get sober on your own. Drugs and alcohol hijack our brains in a way that makes it impossible to “just stop.”
• Get a variety of coping skills – There’s no one thing that someone can say or teach to keep everyone healthy long-term. Instead, get exposed to all evidence-based methods, so you’re able to stay healthy as life happens and changes.
• Be held accountable – Good intentions or even days of sobriety isn’t the same as creating a lifestyle and support network where sobriety comes naturally. We’re too used to hiding or lying to the people in our life, and that only makes us feel worse.
• Underlying issues hold you back – Issues like depression, anxiety, stress, relationship conflict and past trauma will keep you locked in the cycle until properly diagnosed and treated too.
• It’s OK to get help. And, you can do it right here in Louisville.

What is the Louisville clinic schedule?

• IOP Program The average person spends 4-6 weeks with the Louisville IOP team, with options to continue one appointment a week (pending availability).
• Group therapy – usually 3 times per week, held Monday through Thursday with morning, evening and virtual options
• Medical doctor appointments – as needed for physical issues and medications
• One-on-one counseling – usually weekly at your convenience
• Continued accountability coaching – regular calls from a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) during and for one year after you graduate from the Louisville program
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Program You can participate in MAT (Suboxone / Buprenorphine Maintenance) in conjunction or as a stand-alone program. This program involves medical appointments that decrease in frequency over time.
• Month 1: Weekly
• Month 2: Bi-weekly
• Month 3+: Monthly
• Usually, we work with you on a plan to taper off Suboxone within one year, but longer-term patients are allowed on a case-by-case basis.

Is outpatient treatment the right fit for me?

• Honestly, most people in addiction need inpatient rehab. The success rates are higher. But…outpatient is ideal if:
• The problem was just noticed.
• There was a recent relapse after months or years of sobriety.
• You’re transitioning from inpatient rehab back to the “real world.” If you don’t meet the criteria:
• Unless outpatient would be dangerous because of the extent of the addiction, people that don’t meet the criteria are still allowed to enroll in outpatient.
• It’s much better than doing nothing.
• Even though you might not “want” to, consider rehab.
• Find a drug and alcohol rehab in Kentucky.

What about my family and work obligations?

• Your family and your work want you sober – able to be present and happy.
• IOP and Suboxone Maintenance programs work around your schedule, so you can keep your job and your home life.
• You already know that your stability is the priority right now. It’s worth figuring out how you can show up to your appointments, and keep showing up.

How bad is the addiction problem in Louisville?

• Drug overdose deaths increased 89% in Louisville in 2020 versus 2019, driven by the opioid Fentanyl. Fentanyl is found in more drug tests in Kentucky than in any other state. And, Jefferson County has the highest opioid abuse rates in the state.
• The binge-drinking rate and the percent of drinking deaths that involve alcohol is higher for Jefferson county than the rest of the Kentucky.
• So…the addiction problem is in Jefferson County, but you can get help right here in Louisville.
