ABOUT CENTERSTONE ADDICTION RECOVERY CENTER
Formally known as the Jefferson Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center (JADAC), the Centerstone Addiction Recovery Center is an 80-bed treatment facility that provides inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), and aftercare for adults struggling with chemical dependency. Located in Louisville, Ky. and a division of Centerstone Kentucky, a regional treatment provider, the center also offers specialized programming for pregnant clients. If necessary, medical detoxification services are available on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients undergo an initial substance abuse assessment to determine an appropriate level of care. If detoxification is necessary, or the client requires supervision and structure to acquire and sustain sobriety, the individual may be referred to the facility’s inpatient program. According to the facility’s website, the length of inpatient care varies depending on the client’s needs. The facility does provide an inpatient-based residential program, which provides extended inpatient care.
Centerstone Addiction Recovery Center’s programming adheres to the disease model of addiction and 12-steps model of recovery. During inpatient care, clients attend on-site 12-step meetings, study fellowship literature, and perform associated “step-work.” In addition to 12-step immersion, clients also participate in group and individual counseling sessions, as well as attend educational classes on the nature of disease and addiction, life skills training, and relapse prevention. An educational, three-week “concerned persons” program is also available to loved ones of clients.
Once a client completes an inpatient program, clinicians provide discharge planning and referrals to community services. The center also offers a specialized case management services for pregnant women called Project Link. In some cases, clinicians may encourage residential clientele to utilize the facility’s intensive outpatient program (IOP) as “step-down” aftercare service.
