We believe it is important to invest in prevention of unhealthy substance use as well as in treatment of problems related to substance use.

Kentucky’s Regional Prevention Centers (RPCs) can help individuals and groups develop prevention programs that will encourage healthy choices about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Prevention specialists at each center provide education and training programs, information, and consultation services.

NorthKey Regional Prevention Center provides the following:

  • Community Development
  • Consultation and Technical Assistance

Case Management services may be provided throughout pregnancy and up to 60 days postpartum, even if the woman does not go into treatment. Through case management services, a woman’s immediate needs (e.g. safety, housing, childcare, medical care, financial assistance, employment, etc.) will be identified and addressed.

Women will be engaged with programs such as HANDS, WIC, and prenatal care; along with referral to services for substance use treatment if necessary. Women involved in case management services will be able to maximize their functioning through community supports, while reducing barriers to a healthy lifestyle.
