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.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
