We are a centralized network of recovery housing and other supportive services who helps Kentuckians rebuild their lives with dignity, stability, and purpose.
Since 2005, Recovery Kentucky centers have provided peer-led recovery housing across the Commonwealth. Built as a public-private partnership, the program combines evidence-based recovery supports, stable housing, and pathways to employment. Over nearly two decades, RKHP has become a model recognized nationally for reducing incarceration, saving taxpayer dollars, and changing lives.
