What to expect at Painted Grove Recovery
You arrive with your own story, and your plan is built around it. We meet people where they’re at. The answers below follow a stay from arrival to discharge planning.
Will you be welcomed with care?
Yes. When you arrive, staff explain what comes next. It’s a big step, so ask questions before you get here, too. Admissions answers 24/7.
What does detox look like?
Withdrawal management, also called detox, is where your stay begins if you need it. It is medically supervised, with 24/7 nursing support. You have supportive care, comfort measures, and, when appropriate, medication to ease symptoms. Length of stay is determined by medical necessity.
What happens after detox?
Once you’re medically stable, residential treatment is the next step if it is part of your plan. Length of stay is determined by medical necessity. The program gives you structure, accountability, and room to focus on recovery. It includes:
- Therapy: group runs daily, and individual and family therapy run weekly.
- Support for co-occurring conditions: ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, and PTSD are treated alongside substance use.
- Trauma-informed care: many people come to treatment carrying trauma. Staff work with that history, with patience and without judgment.
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT): Medications like Suboxone, buprenorphine (Subutex), and Vivitrol may be offered when clinically appropriate to help reduce cravings and support recovery.
This is where most of the therapeutic work happens: sessions, coping tools, and planning for life after discharge.
What should you bring with you?
Here is what to bring:
- Comfortable clothing and shoes
- Alcohol-free toiletries
- A journal or approved reading material
- Any prescription medications, which must be reviewed by medical staff
Leave at home anything containing alcohol, weapons, or items not permitted under care guidelines. Admissions walks through the rest on the call.
How long will you be in treatment?
It depends on you, not on a calendar. Length of stay is determined by medical necessity, and your treatment team reviews it with you as you go. It can depend on:
- The severity of your substance use
- Your mental health needs
- Your support system at home
- Your progress in treatment
Discharge planning begins on arrival, as part of your treatment plan. It covers referrals to continuing care and connection to peer-support pathways such as SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, and 12-Step.
What sets Painted Grove Recovery apart
Plenty of programs offer detox and residential treatment. What matters is whether you can get in, and what the stay is like once you do. Here’s what that looks like at Painted Grove Recovery:
- Medicaid accepted: Painted Grove Recovery is in network with Kentucky Medicaid. Coverage check happens on the call.
- 24/7 admissions: Admissions answers 24/7.
- 24/7 nursing support: nurses are part of your care from detox through residential treatment.
- A plan built around you: your history, your goals, and your progress shape it.
Treatment is evidence-based whether you come for alcohol use, drug use, or a co-occurring mental health condition alongside either. What changes from one man to the next is the plan, not the standard of care.
