Stepworks of Nicholasville Residential Treatment Services

Stepworks of Nicholasville Residential Treatment Services is a 24-hour medical detox and residential treatment facility located at 151 Coconut Grove Dr in Nicholasville, Kentucky, serving individuals across the state who need structured withdrawal management and inpatient addiction care. Founded by Tom Ingram, MD, the facility operates under physician leadership and is positioned as a full-continuum addiction treatment provider in Jessamine County. For individuals or families making urgent, same-day decisions about detox, the center can be reached directly at (800) 545-9031 for a free addiction screening and consultation by phone.

The facility’s levels of care span from medical detox through long-term recovery support. Medical detox and a 30-day detox and residential program form the core of the clinical offering, with a short-stay detox-only option available for those who need withdrawal management without a full residential stay. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is integrated into the program continuum. Beyond detox and inpatient care, Stepworks of Nicholasville also provides an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a sober living program for individuals transitioning out of higher levels of care.

Therapeutic services at the facility include group therapy, individual therapy, and relapse prevention programming. These methods are applied across the residential and outpatient levels, giving patients structured clinical support throughout their time in treatment. The combination of medically supervised detox and ongoing therapeutic programming reflects a continuum designed to address both the physical and behavioral dimensions of substance use disorder.

Stepworks of Nicholasville accepts a broad range of insurance coverage, including Aetna, Humana, CareSource, Passport, WellCare, Optum, and Cigna, as well as Kentucky Medicaid — making the program accessible to a wide range of Kentuckians seeking medically supervised detox or residential treatment. The facility’s 24-hour operating schedule means intake support is available at any hour, which matters for individuals and families facing a withdrawal crisis and needing immediate answers about admission.

Stepworks of Nicholasville provides medically supervised detox for adults in Kentucky who need clinical oversight during withdrawal. The facility operates 24 hours a day, and its medical detox program is led under the direction of Tom Ingram, MD, the center's physician founder. For individuals whose substance use has reached a point where stopping without medical supervision poses serious risk, having access to around-the-clock clinical care is a critical factor in choosing a detox program.

Two distinct detox pathways are available: a short-stay detox-only option for those focused solely on withdrawal management, and a 30-day program that transitions directly from detox into residential inpatient treatment. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is also offered as part of the facility's clinical approach, providing FDA-approved pharmacological support alongside detox and residential services. Families or individuals who want to discuss which pathway fits their situation can call (800) 545-9031 for a free screening and consultation.

One of the distinguishing features of Stepworks of Nicholasville is the breadth of its care continuum under one provider. After completing medical detox, patients can step directly into residential inpatient treatment without changing facilities or clinical teams. From residential care, the step-down options include an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a sober living program — allowing individuals to reduce clinical intensity gradually rather than exiting treatment abruptly.

This continuum is particularly relevant for Kentucky residents who want to avoid the disruption of transferring between multiple providers at vulnerable points in their recovery. Therapeutic programming across levels of care includes group therapy, individual therapy, and relapse prevention — giving patients structured clinical engagement whether they are in the acute phase of detox or navigating the transition back to independent living through sober housing.

Stepworks of Nicholasville accepts both commercial insurance and Kentucky Medicaid, which broadens access significantly for residents across the state. Verified insurance carriers include Aetna, Humana, CareSource, Passport, WellCare, Optum, and Cigna. The facility's willingness to work with Kentucky Medicaid plans — including CareSource, Passport, and WellCare — makes medically supervised detox and inpatient treatment a realistic option for individuals who might otherwise face significant financial barriers.

A free addiction screening and consultation are available by phone at (800) 545-9031. Because the facility operates 24 hours a day, prospective patients and family members can reach admissions staff at any hour — an important practical consideration when withdrawal symptoms or a substance use crisis cannot wait for standard business hours. Those seeking detox programs in Jessamine County or the broader Kentucky region can use the consultation call to determine whether Stepworks of Nicholasville is the right clinical fit.

The facility treats adults experiencing substance use disorder and addiction who require structured, medically supervised care. Its service area covers Kentucky, making it a regional resource for individuals in Nicholasville, Jessamine County, and surrounding communities who need inpatient detox or residential treatment. The combination of medical detox, MAT, and a step-down continuum means the facility is equipped to serve both individuals entering treatment for the first time and those who have previously attempted detox or outpatient programs without sustained results.

For family members trying to navigate a same-day decision about detox placement, the free phone consultation is the recommended starting point. Staff can help assess whether the individual's clinical needs align with what the facility provides and walk through insurance verification on the same call. The 24-hour schedule ensures that reaching someone in an informed position to help is not limited to weekday business hours.
