Use this checklist when comparing rehab centers in Kentucky so you can match the level of care to your needs.
- Level of care: Does the program offer medical detox, residential treatment, and/or outpatient care?
- Co-occurring care: Can they treat co-existing mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, or anxiety?
- Insurance & payment: Are they in-network with your health plan or willing to verify benefits up front? Do they accept Medicaid?
