Washington, one of the safest cities in Kentucky, the Robert Alexander Center for Recovery provides a safe and peaceful place for individuals to begin their journey of healing. Their mission is simple yet passionate: to make a lasting impact on those affected by the disease of addiction in Kentucky and beyond.
Clinically Monitored Detox
Clients detox on an as-needed basis at RAC, under expert clinical supervision and care. A team of nurses and doctoral staff help clients remain at-ease during detox. Comfortable living areas, housekeeping, TVs, and daily individual counseling add to the comforts RAC aims to provide. Once clients leave detox, they attend one-on-one counseling 3 times a week, with 6 hours of group therapy each day. Doing so allows for an immediate and deep immersion in healing and support.
Personalized Treatment Plans
RAC offers unique, tailor-made treatment plans that cater to the specific needs of their clients. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, they can then effectively address the root cause of the addiction in each client. They offer a variety of evidence-based and holistic therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), 12-Step facilitation, family counseling, art and music therapy, and neurofeedback.

Levels of Care
Your Care Options
Specializations
Alcohol
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Chronic Relapse
Consistent relapse occurs repeatedly, after partial recovery from addiction. This condition requires long-term treatment.
Cocaine
Cocaine is a stimulant with euphoric effects. Agitation, muscle ticks, psychosis, and heart issues are common symptoms of cocaine abuse.
Opioids
Opioids produce pain-relief and euphoria, which can lead to addiction. This class of drugs includes prescribed medication and the illegal drug heroin.
Trauma
Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."
Who We Treat
Executives
Executive treatment programs typically directly support the needs of people who manage businesses and may provide flexible schedules and office space to allow work during treatment.
Young Adults
Emerging adults ages 18-25 receive treatment catered to the unique challenges of early adulthood, like college, risky behaviors, and vocational struggles.
LGBTQ+
Addiction and mental illnesses in the LGBTQ+ community must be treated with an affirming, safe, and relevant approach, which many centers provide.
Professionals
Busy, high-ranking professionals get the personalized treatment they need with greater accommodations for work, privacy, and outside communication.

Experiential
Expressive tools and therapies help patients process past situations, learn more about themselves, and find healing through action.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.

A non-medicinal, wellness-focused approach that aims to align the mind, body, and spirit for deep and lasting healing.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Non 12 Step

Personalized Treatment
The specific needs, histories, and conditions of individual patients receive personalized, highly relevant care throughout their recovery journey.
Twelve Step
Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.

Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Adventure Therapy

Animal Therapy

Aromatherapy

Art Therapy
Visual art invites patients to examine the emotions within their work, focusing on the process of creativity and its gentle therapeutic power.
