FAQs About Addiction Recovery Resources in Louisville

1. Are these resources free to use?
Many support groups and hotlines are free. Housing and some nonprofit programs may charge fees, but scholarships or Medicaid assistance may be available.

2. Can Reclaim Recovery help connect me to these services?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with local support groups, housing, and nonprofits to help build a full recovery network for our clients.

3. What’s the difference between AA, NA, and SMART Recovery?
AA and NA are 12-step-based programs. SMART Recovery is secular and uses cognitive-behavioral tools. All offer peer support with different philosophical frameworks.

4. How do I know if I need professional treatment in addition to these resources?
If you're struggling to stay sober, experiencing mental health challenges, or feel overwhelmed by triggers, professional treatment may be the next step.

5. Does Medicaid cover any of these programs?
Kentucky Medicaid may cover parts of treatment (e.g., therapy, residential care) but not necessarily peer-run support groups or housing. Our staff can help you verify coverage.

6. Can I attend both Reclaim’s IOP and outside support groups?
Absolutely. Many of our clients find that combining structured care with community-based support groups strengthens their recovery.
