ABOUT THE MORTON CENTER

Located in southeastern Louisville, Ky., the Morton Center provides outpatient care at varying intensities for adults, adolescents, children, and families who have been affected by substance misuse, whether their own or a family member's. As such, the center is among the 24.8 percent of addiction treatment facilities in Kentucky that provide some dedicated services for adolescents. The Morton Center is among the 51.8 percent of Kentucky-based rehabs that operate as private nonprofits.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The Morton Center uses 12-Step and evidence-based methods, in a "whole-person" treatment approach that's designed to address clients' emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. The most intensive level of care for adults and adolescents alike is an intensive outpatient program (IOP), positioning the Morton Center among the 36.8 percent of Kentucky-based treatment facilities that provide an IOP.

The program is available in the daytime or the evening, to suit a variety of schedules, and includes group, individual, family, and expressive counselingand educational programs on addiction. For individuals struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders, the Morton Center provides psychiatric services — positioning the facility among the 69.4 percent of Kentucky-based rehabs that also provide mental health services.

The IOP gradually tapers, as clients progress through the program and become more independent. Aftercare is provided in the form of an ongoing Chemical Dependency Recovery Group.

The Morton Center also provides services for the families of people struggling with substance misuse, for instance play and expressive/art therapy for children, as well as an adult codependency group and an educational program for people concerned about a loved one's substance use.
