Past Initiatives

Kentucky Access to Recovery (KATR)

Kentucky Access to Recovery served Kentucky clients with a diagnosed Substance Use Disorder or a history of overdose who needed recovery support services. The KATR program began serving clients in 2019 and ended in June of 2025. During that time period, 8,113 individuals received services and approximately 7 million in service voucher dollars were dispersed.

Covered services included rental assistance for sober living housing, bus passes, car repair assistance, dental care coverage, basic needs (clothing and shoes), employment support services and job training program assistance.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky saw a significant reduction in overdose fatalities in 2024. The University of Kentucky is conducting research on this issue that is anticipated in 2026.

KATR provided access to wrap-around recovery support in the form of housing, transportation, employment support, and other essential needs and services designed to help patients focus on their clinical rehabilitation and eliminate the barriers that can sometimes derail successful recovery outcomes.
