About VOA Mid-States — Freedom House – Louisville
The idea of recovering can be overwhelming and scary but Volunteers of America Freedom House Women’s Addiction Recovery Program, located in Louisville, Kentucky, makes it a lot less overwhelming. This facility supports medically guided detox through a local hospital and will save an inpatient spot for the client once the detox period is completed. Treatment options are available same-day so there’s no wait time to get started taking the next steps toward recovery. Transportation is also available for free for those who are seeking treatment as long as they live in the state of Kentucky.
I love this program because of all they offer to help moms and expectant moms fight back against opioid and alcohol addiction. This program is designed to provide a supportive environment that allows moms to bring their children with them, no matter how many kids they have, to gain mental health support and achieve long-term recovery.
After inpatient treatment is completed, VOA allows for part-time jobs to be added to scheduling to help get recovering women back on their feet and into the normal flow of life.
Children who are brought along into the program will be given the option to be enrolled in school or summer camps depending on the time of year. However, if a mom has a young baby with her, she’s allowed to bring the infant with her to group and therapy. I love that VOA focuses on so much more outside of addiction treatment, like CPS parenting classes, birthing plan support, vocational training and continued education on drug and alcohol abuse.
It’s clear from all that the Volunteers of America Freedom House Women’s Addiction Recovery Program offers that they’re focused on the reunification of families that have been broken apart by substance abuse.
Currently, the program accepts Kentucky Medicaid plans. Even if a woman isn’t currently enrolled in Medicaid, the team at VOA will fill out an application to help her receive help. However, even if someone doesn’t qualify for Medicaid, this facility will still work with them to find a cost-effective treatment option.
