About Stepworks of Bowling Green
Stepworks of Bowling Green is the Warren County campus of Stepworks Recovery Centers, the Kentucky-based addiction treatment network founded by Tom Ingram, MD. The campus serves both men and women from Bowling Green and the surrounding south-central Kentucky region, offering a structured continuum of substance use disorder care under the Stepworks brand.
The core program is a 30-day detox and residential pathway, where clients receive medically supervised withdrawal support and engage in early recovery work. Short-stay detox-only is also available for clients who do not need extended residential care. Step-down options include the intensive outpatient program (IOP), structured as three group therapy sessions and one individual session per week, focused on disease management and relapse prevention. Sober living apartments on the Stepworks network provide a drug-free transitional housing option while clients continue IOP, smoothing the bridge to independent living.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is offered for opioid and alcohol use disorders, with physician-managed medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol paired with counseling. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a core modality, and the program is structured to address trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use.
Stepworks accepts most commercial insurance plans and Kentucky Medicaid, including Anthem BlueCross, Aetna, Humana, CareSource, Passport, Wellcare, Optum, and Cigna. The program is CARF accredited. Across its five-location Kentucky network — Bowling Green, London, Elizabethtown, Nicholasville, and Crowne Pointe — Stepworks supports thousands of Kentuckians in recovery from substance use disorder each year.
