Apply for Recovery Ready Communities
The
Recovery Ready Communities Certification Program is designed to provide
a quality measure of a city or county's substance use disorder (SUD)
recovery efforts. The program offers local officials, recovery
advocates, and concerned citizens the opportunity to evaluate their
community's current SUD treatment programs and interventions in a
framework that is designed to maximize positive public health outcomes
among Kentuckians suffering from SUD.
Kentucky scores another BIG win!
In 2024, Kentucky experienced a decrease of 30.2% in overdose related fatalities, marking the third consecutive year of decline.
“Today's announcement is made possible by every state agency, local community, health department, addiction treatment program and advocate who has put politics aside and fought for our Kentuckians to obtain recovery. Thank you for moving Kentucky forward and doing this good work."
- Office of Drug Control Policy Executive Director Van Ingram
While we acknowledge this great progress, we remain committed to reducing addiction and saving lives. The loss of 1,410 Kentuckians to overdose last year reaffirms we have more work to do - and we will stay vigilant.
