About Robert Alexander Center for Recovery

Robert Alexander Center for Recovery (RAC) provides comprehensive, evidence-based treatment to redefine the experience of addiction treatment. Located on 10 acres of beautiful countryside in Mt. Washington, one of the safest cities in Kentucky, the Robert Alexander Center for Recovery provides a safe and peaceful place for individuals to begin their journey of healing. Their mission is simple yet passionate: to make a lasting impact on those affected by the disease of addiction in Kentucky and beyond.
Clients detox on an as-needed basis at RAC, under expert clinical supervision and care. A team of nurses and doctoral staff help clients remain at-ease during detox. Comfortable living areas, housekeeping, TVs, and daily individual counseling add to the comforts RAC aims to provide. Once clients leave detox, they attend one-on-one counseling 3 times a week, with 6 hours of group therapy each day. Doing so allows for an immediate and deep immersion in healing and support.
RAC offers unique, tailor-made treatment plans that cater to the specific needs of their clients. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, they can then effectively address the root cause of the addiction in each client. They offer a variety of evidence-based and holistic therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), 12-Step facilitation, family counseling, art and music therapy, and neurofeedback.
Robert Alexander Center for Recovery combines top-notch facilities with high-quality, expert care. Their modern facility boasts luxury amenities, semi-private rooms, recreational activities, copper tub therapy, an on-site cafe, flat-screen TVs, and more to offer a once-in-a-lifetime treatment experience. RAC has over 25+ years of combined experience treating addiction and improving lives. Their team has dedicated their lives to helping those who struggle with substance use and co-occurring mental illness.
