Assessment and Enrollment

KATR does not pay for treatment itself but the resources needed to be successful in recovery.

KATR is a one-time use program with a 6-month time limit. Eligible participants may qualify for certain recovery support services.

Priority qualifying services are housing, transportation, and employment support.

KATR is designed to supplement but not replace existing programs. We provide assistance when other programs cannot provide recovery support. Individuals will need to attempt to receive funds from existing programs first.

Eligibility Requirements

In order to be eligible for services with the KATR program, applicants must be:

A resident of a KATR service county;

A first-time participant in the KATR program;

In treatment (or completed treatment within the past one (1) year) for Opioid Use Disorder, Stimulant Use Disorder, or history of overdose from Opioid use;

Low income (i.e. 200% below the Federal Poverty Level); and

In need of recovery supports that will enhance their likelihood of staying in recovery. A need for KATR support services alone is not sufficient. KATR services MUST be tied to the individual’s recovery plan which the client is working on with a recovery case manager at a referring agency. The support services must be necessary to keep the client on his/her recovery journey.

Priority will be given to individuals who meet the above criteria and are:

1) justice-involved, 2) a veteran, or 3) pregnant individuals with child(ren) under 18 living in the home.

The program serves a 34-county area including Jefferson, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, Bullitt, Henry, Campbell, Letcher, Pike, Knott, Perry, Harlan, Wolfe, Lee, Owsley, Floyd, Boone, Kenton, Grant, Gallatin, Henry, Floyd, Pendleton, Carroll, Madison, Estill, Clark, Powell, Bourbon, Scott, Harrison, Robertson, Nicholas, Montgomery, Bath, and Menifee.
