Abstract

Substance abuse in Western Kentucky has reached near epidemic proportions. One of the major concerns for this epidemic is limited access to treatment. Although access to treatment in Western Kentucky may be limited, the region offers many different treatment options. This manual will help each individual to take an honest look at their drinking and drug use, assist them into entering a treatment facility, and provide long term treatment alternatives to help obtain sobriety. Recovery is a way of life and results vary for each person and are dependent upon their efforts to change their entire way of life. This guide will give those affected a hope for freedom and many healthy alternatives to substance abuse.
