Recovery Grounded in Faith, Offered Respectfully

The center incorporates a Christian-based perspective for those who find faith helpful in recovery. Although a component of group discussions, religious activities are offered as an optional element of therapy.

Beyond Treatment: Housing and Job Training

Services extend beyond therapy to support long-term recovery. The facility offers recovery housing, an option that helps clients stay connected to treatment while building independence. In addition, the Protea Auto Group provides hands-on training in automotive repair, upholstery, and sales. These vocational pathways can help clients develop new career goals and rebuild their lives.

Serving Clients Involved in the Legal System

Protea is an approved provider under Kentucky’s Good Time Credit Program, which allows eligible individuals to reduce court-ordered sentences through treatment participation. This alignment with the Department of Corrections offers an additional layer of structure and motivation for clients navigating both recovery and legal obligations.

Patient Reviews: Heartfelt and Honest

With a 4.8-star average from 17 patient reviews, Protea receives consistent praise for its life-changing impact. Clients credit the staff with saving lives and restoring dignity, often describing the program as the turning point in their recovery journey. While most feedback is deeply positive, prospective clients should weigh both the program’s faith-based identity and some concerns raised about facility maintenance to determine if it’s the right fit for them.
