Rivendell Behavioral Health Services

Hospital-Based Setting for Crisis Stabilization

Rivendell Behavioral Health Services provides acute psychiatric and substance use treatment on a 48-acre campus in Bowling Green, Kentucky. As a licensed psychiatric hospital, the facility is equipped to support individuals in crisis, including children as young as five, teens, and adults. Programs focus on short-term stabilization in a structured, secure clinical environment.

Inpatient Detox and Dual Diagnosis Support

For adults experiencing substance use or withdrawal symptoms, Rivendell offers hospital-based detox with 24/7 medical supervision. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, are used to manage withdrawal and reduce relapse risk. Integrated care for co-occurring disorders combines psychiatric treatment with group and individual counseling.

Specialized Youth and Adolescent Programs

The facility offers age-specific care through the Choices Program for children and the Trust Program for adolescents with substance use and mental health needs. These programs provide therapeutic support for emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and family dynamics. Treatment includes group therapy, medication management when needed, and academic support.

Outpatient and Step-Down Services

Rivendell offers partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care for clients who do not require 24-hour supervision or are transitioning from inpatient treatment. Therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, delivered in structured daily sessions.

Access and Assessment Options

To help individuals and families navigate care quickly, Rivendell provides no-cost intake assessments both in-person and via secure telehealth. The facility accepts a range of insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, and TRICARE. With outdoor space and activity-based programming, the environment supports recovery through structure and routine.

Client Reviews

Feedback is highly polarized, with some patients and families appreciating the support of caring staff, good food, and helpful outpatient services, particularly PHP.
