About ARC Counseling Centers
The Louisa Counseling Center is Addiction Recovery Care (ARC)’s outpatient site for Lawrence County, located at 31 Torchlight Road. Within the broader ARC continuum — which includes the Bellefonte Psychiatric Hospital and Detox Unit, multiple residential sites, and ARC Anywhere telehealth — the Louisa center serves as the local point of entry for adults and young adults who can engage in treatment while remaining at home, employed, and connected to family.
Clinically, the Louisa Counseling Center delivers ARC’s four-pillar model: evidence-based clinical care, medical services, a spiritual emphasis grounded in 12-step participation and chaplaincy, and vocational programming through the Crisis to Career pathway. Medication-assisted treatment is available for clients whose recovery is supported by buprenorphine, naltrexone, or other addiction pharmacotherapy. Individual and group counseling form the day-to-day rhythm of outpatient care, with peer support specialists providing the lived-experience connection that ARC has built its reputation around.
The Louisa site is CARF accredited as part of ARC’s network-wide accreditation, and it accepts Kentucky Medicaid, Ohio Medicaid, Aetna, Anthem, United Healthcare Community Plan, and WellCare. Medical leadership across the rural Kentucky sites includes Chris Jude, DO, Associate Medical Director for Rural Health, and Arun Kaithi, MD, Medical Director for the Bellefonte Hospital and Recovery Center. Their roles ensure that even rural outpatient sites like Louisa benefit from physician oversight comparable to ARC’s larger campuses.
Louisa residents who need stepped-up care can access ARC’s residential centers, medical detox at Bellefonte, or specialty programs like Karen’s Place maternity treatment without changing organizations. With a 4.2-star Google rating across nearly 20 reviews, the Louisa Counseling Center has built community trust as a meaningful local resource in a region where access to evidence-based addiction treatment is otherwise limited. Admissions, including Casey’s Law civil-commitment referrals, can be initiated through the local number (606) 328-1714 or ARC’s central admissions line.
