About UofL Health Peace Hospital

University of Louisville Health Peace Hospital, formerly known as Our Lady of Peace, provides behavioral health care services for children, teenagers, and adults in Louisville, Kentucky. Their age specific programs include inpatient treatment, medication assisted treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming, and aftercare support, including specialized services for seniors, children and adolescents with complex needs, females with forensic issues, and those with co-occurring conditions.

Their residential unit is considered one of the largest psychiatric facilities in the country with 261 operating beds. Here, you can begin your recovery journey in a safe, supervised environment free of distractions and triggers.

During their treatment, patients receive various services, including meds, individual, group, and family counseling, 12 Step programs, recovery-focused education, and evidence based therapies such as motivational interviewing.

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.

Medically Assisted Detox

They offer detoxification, acute care and rehabilitation treatment using The Seven Challenges®. The treatment program offers coordinated care provided by a multidisciplinary team including Board Certified Psychiatrists, Licensed Therapists, Registered Nurses, Activity Therapists and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselors.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Inpatient

Their Inpatient Pathways program provides a clinical and medical assessment. Each day consists of a full schedule of treatment services like Individual Therapy, gender-specific specialty groups, Education Group, 12 Step Meetings, Psychotherapy Group, and Discharge Planning. 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. Their inpatient/rehabilitation program provides adolescents with 24-hour substance use and mental health treatment.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn’t spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. Aftercare is a No Charge service available to individuals who have completed any of their Pathways Programs. Aftercare meets weekly in the evenings to offer continued support and a foundation for recovery. Hope is available.

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.

Insurance

Our Policy: UofL Health Peace Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

WellCare

Treatment

Alcoholism

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 Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

Their Pathways to Peace programs are recovery-based focusing on individuals with substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorders. What separates their dual diagnosis program from more traditional methods is their integrated approach to treatment. They help restore Hope and Peace to individuals and their families. They provide patient-centered treatment in a healing environment.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

At Our Lady of Peace, they offer programs that are designed to provide the best recovery options for adults 18 years or older. Their programs provide an integrated approach to treatment – addressing psychiatric and substance use disorders. A combined mental health and substance abuse treatment center 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 Addiction

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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Electroconvulsive Therapy

ECT is recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health as a successful treatment option for severe Depression, Bi-polar disorder and Schizophrenia. ECT can work quicker than psychotropic medications or traditional psychotherapy when other treatments have been unsuccessful. ECT is a safe and effective treatment. 80-85% of people have full remission of symptoms. ECT is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. Our Lady of Peace offers ECT on the Sts. Mary & Elizabeth campus. ECT is an outpatient procedure. They have staff that is dedicated to assist you from triage to recovery. The ECT team includes an anesthesiologist, a board certified psychiatrist, and a registered nurse.

Equine Therapy

Led by their Occupational Therapist their “Riding for Peace” Equine program is designed to address their patients many physical, occupational and sensory needs. Utilizing equine movement, their therapists provide patients with a multi-sensory experience that improves functional outcomes in the areas of physical gait and posture, sensory needs, social skill deficits and self-esteem.

Family Therapy

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.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Accreditations

Joint Commission

The Joint Commission, formerly known as JCAHO, is a nonprofit organization that accredits rehab organizations and programs. Founded in 1951, the Joint Commision's mission is to improve the quality of patient care and demonstrating the quality of patient care.

I went back when I was in middle school I was in 7th grade so I was between 12-14 years old at the time and when I got there it took forever to get admitted in because I was recommended for inpatient we drove almost 2 hours got there at around 4-5 pm and took forever, after waiting for over 4 hours they finally took me back took my bags checked all my clothes and then I had to fill out papers after that I finally got some food bc it was like 3am when I got to the floor they put me on then they did the strip search and I was so uncomfortable they had to take pictures and write down everything, I shared a room with this one girl she was so sweet at the time I was on the floor with all 17-18 year olds so it was pretty boring for me at my age the food was nasty some of the staff were rude but the ones I had Ms. Korpo and Mr. Ty were my favorite they were gentle and understanding but I ended up getting moved because of a suspicion of dating on the floor and I finally got moved to 4 Lourdes from 3 Lourdes with kids in my age group for the most part I had a great experience with the kids who were there I didn t really think this place helped me, if you do anything out of regulation even if you didn t know they give you a EBT(early bedtime) the School was easy but you don t really learn anything honestly but if you were failing when you came in you were for sure passing when you left they gave me anti-depressants but they only made me more depressed than what I was I was always tired you couldn t do anything without asking that goes for even using the bathroom or you d get in trouble or yelled at I got tackled and put in solitary strapped down bc someone made me mad and had to stay longer I was there for a month and hated everyday but mr ty and Mrs korpo y all were the goats my favorite

Never come here for help. This is not a place for help. It is a wake up call to turn back around and find your own way to cope or find a good friend or own therapist to talk to . It is not worth the time and energy to speak to someone who is not gonna treat you as a person just a statistic. WARNING ONCE YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING AN ASSESSMENT you will be treated as a criminal PLEASE DO NOT EVER THINK ABOUT COMING HERE NO ONE IS HELPFUL AT ALL

I went here back in 2018, I know that it s been a while but based on reading the other reviews figured it s not changed at all. I have A LOT to say about OLOP. I was only here for 72 hours, thank god. It was one of the worst things I ve ever went through. I had a shaved head at the time, was 16 and they kept arguing with me that I was a boy, and that my chart confirms I m a boy, I kept telling the desk lady that I was a female, and finally she just strip searched me. They are shady, and the facility is disgusting. I woke up in the middle of the night to a nurse doing something to me, taking blood or infusing something I m not sure. I wasn t told, I just woke up to it and then knocked out. I was extremely tired the whole time I was there, like couldn t stay awake at their school . I was sleeping an insane amount, I got yelled at my first day there for not asking to use the hand sanitizer after using the bathroom. I had no idea I wasn t explained anything about anything. I didn t get any of the stuff my family brought for me. I had to wear the paper scrubs and socks the whole time I was there, and I got yelled at for not having shoes on (when I didn t get given any of my stuff- including shoes) When I was finally released they gave my family back the bag that they brought for me, that I wasn t given for whatever reason. Their showers gave me a fungus that lasted over a year, with disgusting medicine I had to take. I showered ONCE, and it was so gross. I almost didn t after seeing the shower, but I was 16 and felt gross, I didn t know when I could go home. My first morning there there was this nasty food on the floor, and on my last morning there it hadn t moved. The whole system is awful, and I wouldn t recommend this place to anyone. I m 21 now, and it s obviously affected me this long.

Angel

This is the worst place I have ever been to the food was gross they had a level thing so basically if you was on 1 or 2 you had the same breakfast as everyone else but for lunch n dinner it was the same everyday usually a turkey sandwich tomato soup n sometimes chips and the staff were rude when I was first there I was asking a question cuz I was nervous n they snapped at me I also heard staff talking very negatively abt a child the bathrooms were disgusting they always smelled n there once was a dirty pad on the wall overall a horrible experience I wouldn't send anyone you love or you genuinely want then to get better Here I had more issues when I got out than I had before

This place and staff can be rough around the edges, and at times feels like a prison, but your in rehab, and the staff is there to help stop/force you to quit using. It's not going to be easy. If caught trying to sneak dope in, you get strip searched (skin test). Pleade note: This place does not offer methadone.

A completely and utterly worthless institution. Thanks for nothing since you did nothing but release my very unstable family member after 48 hours.

This place is neglectful, abusive, and unclean while being unprofessional and unorganized with their patients. There was a patient who was yelled at for not showering everyday, denied help when blacking out, uncooked and dirty meals, drags patients who are young to the adult side, and mixes patients up if they look alike or have the same name and this patient I mentioned was almost poked with needles by a doctor for sharing a name and was also mixed with them with the bad things the other patient did and almost sent to Tennessee all for sharing the same name. They even tried forcing to break calls during call hour due to this patient sharing to their family how unclean and neglectful this place is. Don't even get me started on the rooms or how they make patients sleep on the floor if they don't feel well or force them back to whatever they were doing.

The staff need to be in a mental institution more than the patients.

Went here for an assessment and honestly, you're better off someplace else. Waiting took hours and the lady who did my assessment kept cutting me off and was super disrespectful. Completely disregarded anything I had to say even when I specifically told them what I was going through.
