Questions people ask about Louisville VAMC

What levels of care does Louisville VAMC offer?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Fort Knox, 3 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what Louisville VAMC offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Elizabethtown, 12 miles away.

Is Louisville VAMC an option for a veteran?

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Fort Knox.

Does Louisville VAMC treat older adults?

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Fort Knox.

How many options are within driving distance?

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 5.0 miles away in Radcliff.

Is there a residential program at Louisville VAMC?

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Fort Knox.

Will my insurance cover this?

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask for the benefits check in writing, including what it does not reach.

Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. An employer is generally entitled to dates and a clinician's confirmation, not to a diagnosis. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
