Isaiah House - Lisa Walker Center 2

They provide inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox, which is the whole of what this address in Harrodsburg is set up for.

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Harrodsburg has 2 other centers.

2 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 11 miles away in Willisburg.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 13 named here.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Harrodsburg.

Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. A relative can usually start the enquiry, book the assessment and hear the options before any decision is made. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
