Covington, Kentucky Drug and Alcohol Rehab Resources

Looking for Covington, Kentucky Drug and Alcohol Rehab? Louisville Addiction Center serves Covington residents with evidence-based outpatient and day program care from medically coordinated detox and MAT to PHP, IOP, and OP and connects clients to local recovery supports and sober living referrals.

Why Covington Residents Consider Louisville Addiction Center

Covington residents often compare local options with regional providers when they need a broader continuum of clinical services. If you’re searching for an addiction treatment center in Covington, KY, consider the practical advantages of a clinic that combines medical oversight with coordinated therapy and follow-up. 

Louisville Addiction Center’s Louisville clinic provides verified services—detox coordination, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Outpatient (OP), and integrated mental health care—that many people find helpful when smaller local programs can’t offer the same breadth of day-program intensity and medical coordination. 

That integrated approach reduces handoffs and keeps treatment goals aligned across therapy and medication. Admissions will also assist with referrals, benefits checks, and scheduling, making it realistic for Covington families to attend a Louisville clinic. 

When comparing Covington drug rehab centers, weigh continuity and clinical oversight alongside location.

Programs Available to Covington Residents for Comprehensive Care from Louisville

These are available to Covington residents through our Louisville clinic and coordinated referral network.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Drug Alcohol Detox

Louisville Addiction Center offers medically supervised detox coordination and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) among its services; these supports are designed to stabilize people during withdrawal and to pair medical care with counseling for safer early recovery. 

Detoxification coordination focuses on clinical monitoring, symptom management, and safety planning, allowing clients to begin therapy from a more stable baseline. 

When clinically appropriate, MAT is integrated into the care plan and combined with counseling and case management to support sustained recovery; admissions will confirm which medications are available at intake. 

For Covington residents exploring sober living in Covington, KY or regional drug rehab centers, these medical supports can be an essential first step before entering day programs. The clinic also coordinates follow-up care and handoffs to local providers, ensuring safe and monitored transitions back to Kenton County.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab

When cravings keep overruling your best intentions, sheer willpower rarely carries you to the finish line. That’s why drug treatment in Louisville at Louisville Addiction Center pairs accredited clinicians with evidence-based therapies, turning the turmoil of active use into a clear, step-by-step path to lasting sobriety. 

Partial Hospitalization Program

Partial Hospitalization Program

Louisville Addiction Center’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers intensive, concentrated daytime clinical care for individuals who require structured therapeutic hours without the need for an overnight stay. 

PHP combines group therapy, individual sessions, practical skills training, and psychiatric support so clinicians can address stabilization and build relapse prevention plans. 

It’s often a strong fit for people stepping down from higher-acuity medical care or for those who need more than weekly outpatient visits to develop routine and coping strategies. 

The clinical team plans clear step-down goals so clients can transition from PHP to IOP and then to OP as progress is made, preserving gains and reducing fragmented handoffs. PHP is a model used by many drug treatment centers in KY as a bridge to sustained recovery.

Our PHP offers structured clinical hours, including both group and individual sessions, as well as psychiatric support, making it a bridge for individuals transitioning from higher-acuity care.

Intensive Outpatient Program

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers multi-day therapy blocks that combine group work, individual counseling, life skill training, and recovery support, allowing clients to continue with their work, school, and family roles while receiving steady treatment. 

Scheduling is frequently flexible, with morning and evening blocks available to accommodate commuting from Covington; admissions can outline travel-friendly schedules and telehealth make-ups when clinically appropriate to reduce missed appointments. 

Many people searching for an addiction treatment center in Covington, KY or comparing Covington drug rehab centers, choose IOP because it provides meaningful clinical structure without overnight stays and supports steady progress alongside everyday responsibilities. 

IOP lets you keep obligations while getting steady therapy in mornings or evenings when the schedule allows; admissions can discuss options for Covington residents.

Outpatient Program

Our Outpatient Program (OP) is the maintenance level of care, focused on weekly individual counseling, periodic family sessions, relapse prevention planning, and telehealth check-ins when clinically appropriate. 

OP supports long-term stability and is commonly used as aftercare following PHP or IOP, helping clients consolidate coping skills and recovery routines. 

The program also includes referrals to community groups, sober-living resources, and outpatient partners so the recovery plan follows you home. OP is a practical, long-term option for Covington residents balancing work, school, and family responsibilities while staying connected to a clinical team and local recovery supports.

Rehab For Veterans

At Louisville Addiction Center, we offer rehab for veterans in Louisville, Kentucky. As a veterans addiction treatment center, we provide TRICARE addiction treatment for veterans. Veterans have unique needs when it comes to substance abuse and mental health disorders. We understand that and offer specialized treatment.

Addiction Treatment in Covington, Kentucky with Integrated Mental Health Care

Intake at Louisville Addiction Center includes a co-occurring assessment and, when indicated, a psychiatric evaluation so clinicians can detect and plan for mental-health needs alongside substance use treatment. 

The clinical team uses evidence-based psychotherapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR when offered together with motivational interviewing and family therapy to build personalized plans. 

That coordinated approach treats both substance use and mental health symptoms in a combined case plan, a strategy many Kentucky substance abuse treatment centers recommend to reduce relapse risk and improve daily functioning.

Sober Living & Local Recovery Resources

Louisville Addiction Center does not operate local sober homes, but it maintains vetted referral lists and community contacts to help clients find housing and support after treatment. If you’re searching for sober living in Covington, KY, admissions can share current, vetted options, meeting schedules, and recovery hubs in Kenton County that align with your aftercare plan. 

Typical transitions the clinic supports include program → outpatient follow-up or sober living → telehealth check-ins and community meetings. 

The admissions team also provides practical assistance, such as transportation suggestions, meeting lists, and referrals to local outpatient partners to help reduce gaps in care and strengthen your chances of staying connected to recovery.

LAC was great. I participated in the evening groups through zoom, which I originally had reservations about. Even though the meetings were online, they were still very engaging, informative, and personal. The therapist and case manager were incredible. They were both very authentic and supportive, and they were easily available when we needed them. I am very appreciative and grateful for this program.

LAC is an amazing treatment facility. Truly a 5 * place for treatment. From ownership, leadership to general staff this place is incredible. The therapist, Techs and speakers are all first class. The housing, if doing PHP like I participated in was also perfect. I met so many incredible people. It’s unreal to be honest. I today this day still stay in contact with most residents who I attended with. Thank you LAC for not only all of your help but also continued support!!!
