The Healing Place is an establishment where individuals can find hope. We cater to those who are struggling with addiction, those seeking help for loved ones, and those in search of an effective recovery model. Our program stands out from others in the country because it is based on a social model, which emphasizes empowerment rather than entitlement. This unique approach has proven to be over five times more effective than the national average in helping individuals maintain sobriety. Additionally, our program is open to everyone and is more cost-effective than most other facilities.
ABOUT THE HEALING PLACE – MEN’S CAMPUS
Originally established as a homeless shelter in 1989, The Healing Place has evolved into a long-term drug and alcohol recovery program specifically designed for adult men. We place a strong emphasis on personal accountability, and our treatment includes detox, 12-step support groups, and peer mentoring. These services are provided entirely free of charge. We also have a separate facility for women and children located nearby.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At The Healing Place, we remain committed to our original mission of providing meals and a safe place to stay for the homeless. However, due to limited space, priority is given to residents of Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Our treatment approach incorporates the 12-Steps, peer mentoring, and a focus on personal accountability. It consists of three distinct phases: detox, “Off the Streets” where clients transition away from a “street mentality” and fully commit to the program, and the Recovery Stage where clients attend classes, complete written assignments, and learn from mentors who have successfully completed the program. The final phase emphasizes personal accountability, followed by a focus on interpersonal skills and community involvement.
We are proud to report that 75 percent of our alumni remain clean and sober one year after completing treatment. This impressive success rate is attributed to our empowerment-based program model.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Our dedicated staff is comprised of professionals in programming, operations, and development. It’s important to note that while we have numerous medical doctors on our board of directors, there are no doctors directly involved in the treatment team.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
At this time, details about our gender-specific program are limited. However, our men’s campus is currently undergoing expansion to double its size and add 200 additional beds. The current capacity is 250 beds.
