Detox
Came here expecting to finally get to recover but I came out really disappointed. I really expected to receive comprehensive therapy but just received individual therapy one in a moon. Besides some good therapists, the rest of the staff is really lazy.

**This institution needs investigated for child neglect**My child 14 year old child was recently discharged in worse condition than she went in. Looking for additional help now. She had a mental breakdown and was recently diagnosed with a UTI when admitted.Staff did not allow her to shower, had her wearing dirty clothes for 3 days. I brought her clothing in the same day she was admitted. Staff did not give her the clothing until after I talked to a nursing supervisor when I found out on day 3. Staff was telling her they had no clothes for her . Absolutely unacceptable to leave a child in dirty clothing for 3 days and not allowing them to shower. Especially when they have a UTI.My daughter had a panic attack pulling out of the parking lot just trauma dumping the entire experience.My daughter is definitely capable of stretching truth so I may have questioned these allegations against them if it had not been for the child neglect I know for sure happened with her not being allowed to shower and left in dirty clothing.She reported to me that a 16 y/o adolescent was sharing a room with a 10 year old. Which seems like an unnecessary risk to the younger child. .. the 16 y/o apparently tried to strangle herself with a blanket in front of the young girl who was screaming for help. Apparently it took several minutes for staff to respond. I cant imagine how scared that young child must have been.Another girl was apparently beaten badly by another child who had been escalating without any intervention from staff. Apparently screaming, breaking things and just being violent, staff did not intervene until after the assault on the other child. She said the girls episode went on for hours and the girl apparently tried to attack her but staff did intervene, locking my daughter and another child in a glass room for their safety.Apparently there was a child admitted with head lice. Staff apparently did nothing to treat the girl or comb the head lice out for TWO DAYS while other kids were mean to her and did not want to be near the girl.Also family visits were not being closely monitored. She said a teenage boy was sitting in his dads lap inappropriately, making jokes about feeling something poking him in his dads pants the dad was laughing about it and my daughter was extremely uncomfortable.She claimed she only saw a therapist for individual counseling once in 6 days and that was our family session. The family session went horrible and my daughter showed no signs of improvement. My daughters last call home she promised to rain hell down on our house even knowing all of this, plus bad reactions to meds, they discharged her anyway. Which after her panic attack and unloading is probably for the best. This place did not help.Also note that staff had nothing bad to say about my daughter and said she was pleasant and respectful.. however, she was given a review form to fill out while still inpatient and she was honest with them about what she saw wrong. She said staff became upset and told hwr when she fills out reviews she should not be so critical then she got into trouble for saying what she said.The only positive things I will say is thank you to Lisa - the nursing supervisor who made sure my child got her clean clothing.A huge thank you to the staff who stepped in to protect my daughter and the other child from being attacked. I realize that you put your own wellbeing/safety on the line in that situation. From the deepest part of my heart I am so grateful for you. May God bless you and protect you Courtney was her assigned therapist. I did feel she was kind and insightful. It would have likely been beneficial for my daughter to have daily therapy sessions with her. I do think if actually given the time with patients that therapist may actually be able to genuinely help some children process trauma.My daughter did also say, over all that the staff members were mostly kind. So Im not sure if the neglect is due to staffing issues but I would 10/10 not recommend and would never bring her back.

Hi, Grace. Thanks for taking the time to share this review. Could you please visit https://lincolnbehavioral.com/contact-us/ and provide your contact information so we may be in touch with you personally? Thank you in advance for your time.
DO NOT GO HERE!!!!I honestly have mixed feelings about this. Lets start with the negative. First, whenever I got there, they were just so busy with work and left me be. The reason why I went there was because it was the closest place to me that would take me in and for SI and self-harm. They left me for so long, that I actually started self-harming. Anyways, they wouldn't let me take a shower for 4-5 days! Their excuse was that "They couldn't trust me". Most staff were rude to me, and they didn't care about me being autistic and having ADHD. They also separated me from the rest of the group for most of the time I was there, I think they did that because of my Autism and ADHD. They made me stay there for 3 whole weeks! Around my 2nd week there, I started hitting the walls. The reason why I was doing that was because of how long I was there for. That's all I'm going to say...Again, I do not recommend going here. If you want to go to a place that actually cares, go to Bourbon county community hospital.

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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
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.
Intensive Outpatient Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System IOP's are for Adults seeking treatment for alcohol & substance abuse/dual diagnosis. The treatment modalities used include Living in Balance, The Matrix Model, TCU Mapping-Enhanced Counseling, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Seeking Safety. These treatment modalities are also supplemented with the 12-Step based daily meditation readings.
Aftercare Support Rehab aftercare programs ensure clients' access to continuing care after the completion of intensive inpatient treatment. Outpatient care is often considered a component of drug rehab aftercare, but most clients continue to receive support services after being discharged from formal treatment. Service portfolios are customized to clients' unique and evolving needs and are often designed in collaboration with clients' case managers and care teams. Peer coaching, career counseling, relapse prevention, and 12 step program induction are standard.
12-Step Living in Balance helps patients to discover areas of life they have neglected through addiction and gives them the resources to live a sober life. In addition to Living in Balance, patients attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) while in treatment. They receive a copy of the Big Book and begin to work the 12 steps. 12 step education is provided in groups and individually patients work on each step.
Intervention Services Collaborative treatment planning with the Psychiatrist, Case Coordinator, Social Worker and the Nurse helps each patient develop specific goals and determines interventions with the greatest likelihood of success. These interventions are symptom and solution focused. Interventions include the provision of a safe and therapeutic environment, daily physician supervision, nursing and monitoring, and care and intensive programming.
Partial Hospitalization Program Often beneficial for individuals who don't require 24-hour supervision, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) can be an alternative to inpatient rehab or a transitional option. PHP treatment typically involves 6 to 8 hours of treatment per day, up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. PHP treatment often includes relapse prevention strategies, medication management, and other behavioral therapy interventions. While the cost of a partial hospitalization program can vary, it is often covered by insurance.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Medically Assisted Detox The Adult Chemical Dependency Inpatient Program at Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System is highly structured for adults over the age of 18 with a need for supervised detoxification or for a recovery program. The philosophy of the Adult Chemical Dependency Program centers on the Living in Balance Model, that focuses on relapse prevention and provides numerous opportunities for improvement with daily living skills through extensive group sessions.
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
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
Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System's Mission Wellness Program is designated as a Patriot Support Center of Excellence. It is available to active duty military, reservists, National Guard and veterans experiencing mental health, substance abuse and dual diagnosis issues, particularly those related to combat and stress. They provide a structured integrated approach to healing by utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities led by a multi-disciplinary treatment team of mental health professionals.
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.
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.
Several techniques are key to motivational interviewing in Kentucky. Your therapist will use open ended questions, affirm your strengths, reflect your responses back to you, and summarize your responses. This allows you to identify any discrepancies in your current situation and your future goals, which can motivate you to make changes.

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.
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. Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System recognizes the importance of family involvement and support in the treatment process, therefore the program emphasizes family participation through therapy.
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.
