About Golden Grove

A facility built around the work that matters most.

Recovery at Golden Grove happens in conversations, in groups, in quiet moments with a counselor or a nurse. And whenever you need us — first call, middle of the night, the day after discharge — we're reachable twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Who we serve

Adults navigating substance use disorder — and the realities that come with it.

We work with patients:

  • Coming directly from incarceration
  • On probation or parole
  • Referred by drug courts and diversion programs
  • Living with complex medical and psychiatric histories
  • Whose previous treatment did not hold

Referrals come to us from public defenders, hospital discharge planners, managed care case managers, and community treatment programs.

Transportation is available — ask during your assessment call.

A Promise

The path to care should be easy.

We'll make sure it is.

Your journey

What to expect, start to long after.

From the moment you reach out to long after you leave, we walk with you every step of the way.

Confidential assessment

A focused conversation with our admissions team to understand your situation, current substance use, and goals — designed to move quickly so you get to the next step without a marathon evaluation up front.

Evidence-based treatment

Proven approaches including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care grounded in the latest clinical research and ASAM-aligned best practices.

Dual-diagnosis expertise

Integrated treatment for co-occurring addiction and mental health conditions treated together in a single episode of care — the standard for better long-term outcomes.

Recovery community

Connect with others on similar paths through group therapy, shared activities, and a supportive environment during your time at Golden Grove.

Holistic wellness

Yoga, art therapy, music therapy, breathwork, and meditative practices integrated into the daily rhythm — not bolted on as an afterthought.

Aftercare planning

Comprehensive discharge planning with outpatient referrals, MAT continuity, support groups, and relapse prevention — starting on day one, not the last day.

Your first days

What happens after you arrive.

The first day at a treatment facility is the day patients are most anxious about — and the day most providers explain the least. Here's what to expect at Golden Grove.

Within the first hour

You meet the team.

A nurse and the staff on shift meet you, confirm your arrival details, walk you through facility-specific consents, and answer any questions you have about the facility, the program, or what comes next.

Within the first day

Medical evaluation begins.

You receive a medical evaluation — vitals, withdrawal assessment, medication review, and any medical concerns addressed. If you need detox, it begins here, under twenty-four-hour nursing care with physician oversight. You're shown to your room. You meet the staff who will be with you over the coming days.

Within the first three days

Your treatment plan takes shape.

Your treatment plan is built — informed by the staff who have met you, reviewed your history, and listened to what you want recovery to look like. You begin participating in groups, individual sessions, and the daily rhythm of treatment. Family contact is established within the limits of what each patient agrees to share.

What makes us different

Built around the realities of how addiction works.

Addiction rarely shows up alone. Trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the life around all three shape what recovery actually looks like.

Trauma-informed by design

Trauma is foundational to addiction in most patients we'll treat. Our clinical team is trained in trauma-informed care, and trauma-focused approaches sit alongside CBT and DBT — not as extras.

Dual diagnosis is the default

Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder co-occur with SUD in most cases. We treat them together from intake — psychiatric medication management is integrated, not referred out.

Without ideology

Buprenorphine, naltrexone, Vivitrol, acamprosate — we offer the full evidence-based pharmacology and let clinical fit decide, not philosophy.

ASAM-matched care

We use ASAM criteria to determine the appropriate level of intensity, not what's convenient or what fills a bed. Step-up and step-down happen as your clinical need changes.

Dual diagnosis

Mental health conditions we treat.

Our Mission

Make lasting recovery accessible to every patient.

Vision

To prove that clinical excellence and accessibility belong in the same sentence — and to make that the standard, not the exception.

What we believe

We measure ourselves by the lives our patients build after they leave us.

Our values

Dignity

We treat people, not cases.

Every patient who reaches us is a person, not a diagnosis. We learn their name, their story, and the life they are trying to build — and everything else follows from there.

Wholeness

The whole person, not the diagnosis.

Recovery is more than sobriety. It is a body restored, a mind retrained, and a life rebuilt for what comes next.

Integrity

The patient's interest comes first.

What is in the patient's best interest is not one consideration among many. It is what every other decision is weighed against.

People

The right people, on purpose.

We hire the counselors, nurses, techs, physicians, and peer specialists who came to this work on purpose — who learn the patient, not just the chart.

Accessibility

We answer the call for help. Every time, every hour.

However someone reaches out — for themselves or for someone they love — recovery begins the moment we answer.

Purpose

Detox is the start. Treatment is the work. The life after is the point.

We are in the business of long-term recovery.

Stewardship

We are accountable to our patients, our employees, and the communities we serve.

We earn that trust by being worthy of it — every shift, every patient, every day.

How to get started

Recovery doesn't begin with paperwork. It begins with a phone call.

Call us.

A real person answers — twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The first conversation is confidential and there's no obligation.

Call (502) 610-4829

Talk through your situation.

The team will ask about your substance use, your history, your insurance, and what you're hoping treatment can do for you. The goal is to understand your situation, not screen you out.

Verify your coverage.

Your insurance gets checked while you're on the phone.

Come in.

Most patients begin treatment the same day they call. Transportation, what to bring, your bed — all of that gets handled before you arrive.
