About us
The flagship institution of Stepworks’ five campuses devoted to adult drug abuse treatment is Stepworks of London, which is situated in the tranquil countryside of London, Kentucky. This institution is unusual in that it serves only guys and provides a customized residential recovery program tailored to the requirements of men who are battling addiction.
Detoxification under medical supervision is often the first step in Stepworks’ treatment programs. Stepworks offers buprenorphine/naloxone for people in need in order to help with the symptoms of withdrawal and facilitate a more seamless transition into recovery. In order to ensure that clients are medically stable before advancing to more extensive therapeutic treatments, the detox phase is an essential first stage in the recovery process.
Clients go into the residential treatment program after detox. The daily therapeutic groups that are the foundation of this program’s framework include participants in recovery-focused conversations and exercises meant to better understand and manage their addiction. A qualified therapist’s individual therapy sessions and routine meetings with medical experts are essential components of the treatment plan that guarantee each client’s progress is continuously monitored and modified as necessary. Practical life skills are also included into the daily schedule to assist clients lay the groundwork for a self-sufficient, healthy life after recovery, such as cooking meals in groups.
Stepworks of London is unique in that it places a strong focus on family engagement in the healing process. Family therapy sessions are recommended because they provide a safe environment for loved ones to go through their experiences, understand the nature of addiction, and get the help they need to recover with the client. This all-encompassing strategy emphasizes the idea that addiction impacts the whole family, not just the addict.
Many insurance policies are accepted by Stepworks of London, such as Aetna, CareSource, Passport Health Plan, WellCare, Cigna, Anthem, Humana, and Optum. Medicaid and Medicare customers are also accepted at the institution. In order to make sure that access to critical treatment services is not hampered by financial constraints, the staff is ready to help those without insurance enroll in Medicaid after being admitted.
The foundation of Stepworks’ philosophy is the conviction that addiction is a medical condition rather than a moral fault. Established more than ten years ago, the goal of Stepworks is to support individuals in their recovery from addiction by emphasizing customized treatment as opposed to a one-size-fits-all strategy. This aim is motivated by the knowledge that addiction affects all facets of a person’s life and that recovery requires a comprehensive strategy that takes into account these complex issues. Stepworks has reinforced the idea that there is always a route to recovery by helping countless people and families find hope and healing via their programs.
