Communicare Inc.

Communicare's outpatient program and intensive outpatient (IOP) services provide flexible addiction treatment that allows clients to maintain work, family, and community connections while building sustainable recovery skills. The center's IOP structure offers more intensive support for those transitioning from residential treatment or needing higher levels of outpatient care without full-time commitment.

Both programs utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a foundation for helping clients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build practical skills for long-term sobriety. The availability of telehealth services extends this recovery community support across the Lincoln Trail region's rural areas, ensuring consistent access to addiction treatment regardless of transportation barriers or geographic isolation.

The recovery center specializes in treating clients with co-occurring disorders, recognizing that substance use disorders often intersect with mental health conditions requiring integrated care. This dual diagnosis expertise allows Communicare to address the complex interplay between addiction and mental health, providing comprehensive treatment that tackles root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Under the guidance of Medical Director Dr. Glenna Major, the clinical team coordinates substance abuse treatment with mental health services, creating unified care plans that support whole-person recovery. This approach proves particularly valuable for court-ordered clients and those with developmental disabilities, populations that often require specialized attention within their recovery journey.

Since 1967, Communicare has built extensive connections throughout Hardin, Breckinridge, Grayson, Larue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, and Washington counties, creating a recovery network that extends far beyond Elizabethtown. This regional presence means clients can access consistent addiction treatment while remaining connected to their home communities and support systems.

The center's commitment to accessibility goes beyond geographic reach through their sliding-scale fee structure based on family size and income. No one is denied access due to inability to pay, removing financial barriers that often prevent people from engaging with addiction treatment. This policy, combined with acceptance of Medicaid and various financial assistance options, ensures that recovery resources remain available to all community members regardless of economic circumstances.
