About Astra Behavioral Health
Astra Behavioral Health is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 2000 Ring Road in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, serving individuals throughout the state. The center operates within Hardin County and functions as a multi-level care provider, addressing both addiction and co-occurring behavioral health conditions under the same clinical umbrella. For individuals and families in Kentucky searching for a medically supervised detox program, Astra Behavioral Health represents one of the region’s few providers combining detox with stepped-down outpatient services.
The facility offers three distinct levels of care: Medical Detox, an Outpatient Program (OP), and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Medical detox is the entry point for individuals requiring withdrawal management before transitioning to less intensive levels of care. The IOP provides a structured treatment schedule for those who have completed detox or who do not require residential placement, while the standard outpatient program supports ongoing recovery with greater scheduling flexibility.
Clinically, Astra Behavioral Health treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use — a significant distinction for patients whose addiction intersects with trauma or PTSD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the confirmed therapeutic methods used at the facility. The center operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., reflecting its outpatient and community-based service model.
Astra Behavioral Health serves a notably broad range of populations, including adolescents, young adults, seniors, veterans, pregnant women, and individuals who are court-ordered into treatment. The facility also provides services for men and women, people living with HIV/AIDS, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay, and a sliding scale fee structure — reducing financial barriers for Kentucky residents seeking detox and addiction treatment.
