I wasn’t there for drug rehab but for suicidal tendencies which was a mistake made by U of L Hospital. I guess different circumstances and situations are dealt with here as well. I must have been on the wrong side of the campus because it was a big surprise and very traumatizing to me to wind up in a psychiatric hospital of all places. I can’t say anything about care and treatment of the rehab patients there but the wing I was in was like One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest and I was Jack Nicholson’s c character in that movie. It was a real shock to the senses. It felt like it was me against the staff much of the time. I was forced against my will to take drugs without being told what they were. Some pills and others injections and some of the residents were hostile and belligerent toward me because I didn’t fit in. I tried to tell em it was all a big mistake. Some words were taken way out of context and somebody said “suicide candidate here” which was far far from the truth of it all. I spent ten days there in horrible conditions and treated like trash and let me tell ya when I left I was a mess for over three months. Nightmares, injection sites that still hurt, absolutely NO treatment of any kind was ever mentioned. I would think a suicide case would be closely watched and treated with kid gloves in a calm atmosphere. Not me. I think they just didn’t know what to do with a guy like me who was not in need of their brand of psychiatric therapy like electric shock treatment or maybe lobotomies so I was on my own pretty much to fend for myself and discouraged from having ANY contact with others. I was exposed to lunatic behavior by a couple of “residents”, threatened by one and kicked in the knee by another. Ouch! I was just there and there was nothing I could do about it. While I was there nothing was ever explained to me nor was I given any kind of examination or evaluation or anything regarding my “condition” which was just highly PISSED! WTF was going on? Oh well

Please…this place may actually be a part of Hell itself. Deplorable living conditions. Inhumane and abusive staff. Nothing to see here but unfortunate mentally disturbed people with no one to actually care for them. No therapy, counseling or even compassion or empathy is given or offered. They throw people like me into “D-Block” to try and scare you and pummel you into submission by being drugged, mistreated and abused. All your rights are stripped away. People in authority are kept unaware places like this exist. No accountability and piss poor management run the show here. And it IS quite a show. Total disregard and huge misunderstanding of what healthcare of any kind is supposed to be. Especially mental health. You’ll come out of here disturbed in one way or another. I still have nightmares about my experience. Not a place you wanna be.

Accepted Insurance

Central State Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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 iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
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-program thumbnail image
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
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.

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, 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 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.

One of the most decent psychiatric hospitals I have gone to. I could tell that the staff here really tried to help you and make your experience as pleasant as possible, which is not the case at all in other places. Just felt like the treatment could improve.

I was just a patient here. I was admitted for panic attacks and was a voluntary walk-in. They admitted and took out an MIW on me since my husband owned a gun . While I m here I received zero therapy, allowed no soap except baby shampoo, not allowed panties, not allowed a bra and they give you a white t- shirt to wear. The food was barely edible and then a fellow patient exposed himself to me and traumatized me further. The proceeding night and day staff refused to move the offender and he followed me around laughing and taunting. The next day the social worker found out what happened and arranged for my release that day. Some of the nurses here were very caring and did their best. But the doctors are absolute trash and this place is extremely traumatizing. All they have done is make all my issues 10x worse. I wouldn t let my dog go here or eat their food.

I was held involuntarily and abused in the psychiatric care unit in April 2022. I reported incidences internally multiple times that week and all I got was someone looking me in the eyes saying, "I'm sorry. I hope it gets better."

This place is horrible! I was a teen with anxiety and signed my self in. Big mistake I had an anxiety attack and hugged my mother while she visited for some reason they didn't like that. They then forced my family to leave. This caused me to have an another anxiety attack. Instead of trying to calm me down they drug me to a room and tied me down. I have extreme claustrophobia but they didn't care. Almost broke my arms getting out. They came in and added more restraints then dosed me with something. I still have traumatic night terrors because of the ordeal. I also witnessed people being abused and mistreated. Shame on you for hurting fragile people who needed your help. I believe God has or will repay you unless you repent.

A long with the courts I had all my doctor's therapist convinced even in eps I didn't need mental health treatments even court system said wouldn't be bad idea if I did. Need to Seek out such treatments I escaped csh they don't know a thing on how I done it I almost got caught once when a csh hospital member from there recognized me out in the streets I got away I almost didn't doctor felt I should be here I dodged capture long time and going for it my freedom I feel I will ' be ok enough carrying on threw out life without a doctor's care and planning hey no medications maken me feel different I rather don't take so I did what I had to do to escape unless you ever been a patient here you wouldn't understand how much it means to be free I have been escaped long time and they have never found me I've been AWOL a long time I have found out the best escape from any mental health system I use it to my freedoms and csh will never will find me. Or on how I did it.there I love been free and not there taken there medications they say I need. I escaped csh the greatest feeling when your free and don't wanna take medications and been behind those walls

Although CSH provides very good care of their patients, I am very disappointed that they refuse to relay any messages to their patients. I believe talking to a friend or family member when they would like to would help. If they don't know the phone number, who does anymore?, and no one can provide it, the patient is unable to do this. Why not? I don't understand
