About Communicare – Lebanon
You’ll find Communicare in Lebanon, Kentucky a little over an hour southeast of Louisville. Since 1967, this behavioral health provider has offered services for residents across eight Lincoln Trail region counties. You’ll benefit from comprehensive outpatient care for substance abuse and mental health as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities.
With outpatient care you can attend treatment while living at home. Their clinic provides proven therapeutic interventions to help you get to the root of addiction and gain healthy coping skills. You can participate in group, individual or family sessions, psychiatric medication management, targeted case management, specialized programs and more. These approaches can help you recognize and change the behaviors contributing to addiction.
The program that I found very interesting is the KY Moms Maternal Assistance Towards Recovery (KY Moms MATR) program. This track provides universal prevention services for pregnant women battling addiction. To prevent babies born affected by substances, they collaborate with various community agencies to find and invite women to participate. You’ll benefit from treatment best practices like contingency management and motivational interviewing to gain the tools to achieve and sustain recovery.
Another standout feature I noticed was their medication assisted treatment services. If you’re battling heroin or other opioid addictions then this 18 to 24 month program strives to help you with an integrated approach. They have FDA approved medications to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings that can get in the way of your recovery. They complement care with substance abuse and co-occurring disorder therapy to help you address addiction’s psychological effects.
I also think it’s great that they provide affordable services for everyone. Private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare cover many of their services. And you can still get the help you need even if you don’t have insurance. They provide discounted sliding fee scales to fit your unique needs. That way finances won’t get in the way of starting your journey.
