Pathways - Elliott County Outpatient

Alcoholism and opiate addiction are among the many substance misuse addictions for which Pathways - Outpatient, a private treatment facility in Sandy Hook, Kentucky, offers treatment. In addition to flexible outpatient treatment, the institution provides medically supervised detoxification to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. With this method, patients may continue their recuperation process while continuing to live their normal lives at home.

Pathways customizes its programs to meet the individual requirements of various groups, including age-appropriate care for teenagers, gender-specific issues for men, and specialized therapy for women. This method improves the healing process by guaranteeing that people get assistance and direction that corresponds with their unique life stage and experiences.

The organization has changed multiple times since its founding in 1966 as the Nineteenth Regional Mental Health / Mental Retardation Board. President Kennedy's attempt to restructure the provision of mental health care led to its formation. The Appalachian Comprehensive Care Center, which serves Boyd, Carter, Greenup, and Lawrence counties, was established as a result. Later, when statewide districts were established by the federal and state governments, Elliott County was included. After changing its name to Lansdowne Comprehensive Care Center in 1972, it merged with Cave Run Comprehensive Care Center in 1982 to become Pathways, Inc.

After more than 50 years, Pathways has expanded dramatically, now employing 450 skilled professionals and providing a wide range of mental health treatments. Services include mental health, assistance for intellectual and developmental impairments, and prevention, early intervention, treatment, and rehabilitation for drug use disorders. Over 14,000 unduplicated people are served annually by Pathways, demonstrating its extensive and all-encompassing approach to mental healthcare in the area.
