UofL Health-Peace Hospital

Recovery rarely follows a straight line, and UofL Health – Peace Hospital structures its addiction treatment programs to reflect that reality. From medical detox at the front end to residential treatment, standard outpatient programming, and intensive outpatient (IOP) at later stages, the facility offers multiple levels of care under one system — meaning individuals can move through treatment phases without the disruption of switching providers.

The intensive outpatient program is particularly relevant for people in ongoing recovery who need structured clinical support while maintaining work, family, or community commitments. Rather than treating IOP as a standalone offering, Peace Hospital situates it within a broader step-down model that keeps people connected to their recovery community and clinical team as they transition toward greater independence.

For many people entering addiction treatment, substance use does not exist in isolation. UofL Health – Peace Hospital formally treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis cases, integrating care for conditions like trauma and PTSD alongside substance abuse treatment. This matters in the context of sustained recovery: mental health conditions that go unaddressed during rehab are among the most common contributors to relapse after discharge.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed clinical method used at Peace Hospital, a structured, skills-based approach that helps individuals identify and shift the thought patterns underlying addictive behavior. When applied to dual diagnosis cases, CBT provides a framework that works across both the substance use and the co-occurring condition simultaneously — supporting the kind of integrated recovery that longer-term sobriety requires.

UofL Health – Peace Hospital serves a broader range of populations than many substance abuse treatment centers in Kentucky. Adolescents, seniors and older adults, and individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing are all specifically included — a deliberate design choice that reflects the hospital's behavioral health roots and its commitment to accessibility across the community.

The facility accepts a wide range of payment methods: Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay and cash, and financial assistance. That coverage spans many of the most common financial situations people face when entering residential treatment or outpatient programs, reducing one of the most practical barriers to starting — and staying in — recovery.

UofL Health – Peace Hospital operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 2020 Newburg Road in Louisville, Kentucky. The facility can be reached directly at (502) 451-3330, and its location within Jefferson County places it at the center of one of Kentucky's largest population centers — accessible for families and individuals throughout the Louisville area who are beginning to evaluate their recovery options.

Whether someone is looking at medical detox as a first step or exploring residential treatment and outpatient programming as part of a longer-term recovery plan, the 24-hour availability means there is no waiting for a weekday or business hours to make that first call. For families supporting a loved one, that accessibility can matter as much as any clinical detail.
