Adult's Mental Health Services

Outpatient MH Clinics

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. When that happens, people need someone to listen and to provide support. Since 1967, Communicare has had a reputation for maintaining competent and caring staff. Outpatient therapy services, including individual, group or family sessions, are offered at each of our clinic locations. Our clinics also offer alcohol and drug counseling, marital counseling, psychiatric care, and school based services. We are your community source for behavioral health care. Clinics are located in Bardstown, Brandenburg, Elizabethtown, Hardinsburg, Lebanon, Leitchfield, Radcliff, and Springfield. Residents of Larue County may access services in Hardin County.

Toll-free access telephone number to schedule an appointment at any clinic location: (888) 344-8066.

Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program

The TRP is a daily treatment program for persons with severe mental illness who require less than 24 hour a day care, but more than outpatient counseling. Individuals who participate in this program engage in activities which enhance their social and daily living skills and enable them to be a vital part of their community. Therapeutic Rehab Programs are located in Bardstown, Elizabethtown, Lebanon, and Leitchfield.

Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit

Mental Health Emergencies don’t always happen between 9 and 5. When immediate attention is needed, the Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit (ACSU) is a 24-hour alternative to hospitalization. Our staff is available to assist mental health consumers through a time of crisis and help them return to their normal routine. Our treatment team focuses on linking the consumer with community resources and returning them to their home as quickly as possible.

Community Support Program (Adult Case Management)

For adults suffering from severe mental illness, the Community Support Program promotes social and emotional growth. By providing a comprehensive array of services we assist these individuals in becoming more successful at home and within the community. Our dedicated professional staff takes to heart the well-being of each person who receives our services. These services can be accessed through each of our clinic locations, the Recovery Center, and the Elizabethtown TRP.

Residential Placements

Two apartment complexes are available for adults with mental illness who are able to live independently. These complexes are located in Elizabethtown and Bardstown. Applications are accepted from individuals regardless of county of residence.

Community Medications Support Program (CMSP)

Adults with severe mental illness and children with emotional disabilities who have no other means of obtaining needed psychotropic and neuroleptic medications may receive support from the CMSP.

Severe Mentally Illness (SMI) Case Management

SMI Case Management offers support to adults with severe mental illness by providing identification and access to resources and services that may enhance his/her quality of life. It provides support in a variety of tangible ways, tailored to the client for the purpose of promoting empowerment and dignity in every day living.

Hardin Memorial Hospital – Lifespring Unit Medical Coverage

Through a partnership with Hardin Memorial Hospital, Communicare is able to provide in-patient psychiatric care to all consumers within our region. This program has been recognized by the National Alliance on Mental Illness and Eli Lilly as a recipient of the annual “Heroes in the Fight” award, which celebrates dignity, courage, hope, and recovery in the treatment of people with severe and persistent mental illness within specific local or state communities.

Pre-Admission Screening Resident Review (PASRR)

Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) provides evaluations as required by the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 for all people residing in or seeking nursing home placement who have a diagnosis of either mental illness, mental retardation or a related condition (severe chronic disability that results in impairment of general intellectual functioning). This evaluation ensures that individuals with these diagnoses are appropriate for nursing home care and that their mental health and mental retardation needs will be met while they reside in that facility.

Emergency Services

Adult consumers in the Lincoln Trail Region may receive 24-hour emergency services in the form of On-Call Mental Inquest Warrant evaluations; linkages to in-patient psychiatric units (Hardin Memorial Hospital: Lifespring Unit and Central State Hospital); Jail Triage On-Call Consultation and Disaster / Emergency Response. This program also provides education and training on legal issues related to mental health to Communicare staff, consumers, consumer families and other persons in a position of support and external agencies.
