About UofL Health

UofL Health – Peace Hospital is a Joint Commission-accredited substance use treatment facility located at 2020 Newburg Road in Louisville, Kentucky. Operating under the UofL Health system, Peace Hospital provides a medically grounded setting for individuals who need structured withdrawal management and longer-term addiction care — not a freestanding rehab, but a hospital-affiliated program with the clinical infrastructure that distinction carries.

The facility offers four levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, an outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). That continuum means patients can move from medically supervised detox directly into residential or step down to outpatient services without leaving the UofL Health network — a logistical advantage that reduces gaps in care during one of the most vulnerable windows in recovery.

Treatment at Peace Hospital addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside substance use, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among the confirmed therapeutic methods used. The dual-diagnosis capability is clinically significant: many people seeking detox are managing PTSD or other mental health conditions simultaneously, and programs that treat only the substance piece often see faster relapse. The facility operates seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Peace Hospital serves a notably broad population — adolescents, seniors and older adults, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, a population that frequently faces access barriers at general addiction programs. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, private insurance, self-pay, and financial assistance, making the program accessible across a range of financial circumstances for Louisville-area residents.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Louisville

UofL Health – Peace Hospital provides medical detox as the entry point for individuals whose substance use requires supervised withdrawal management before other treatment can begin. As a hospital-affiliated program, Peace Hospital brings clinical infrastructure to the detox process that many freestanding facilities cannot match — a meaningful difference for patients whose withdrawal carries medical risk.

Detox at Peace Hospital feeds directly into a residential treatment program and outpatient levels of care within the same system. For someone in Louisville seeking a detox center that does not leave them searching for the next placement on their own, that connected continuum is a concrete operational advantage.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorders

Peace Hospital treats co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside substance use disorders — a clinical capability confirmed in the facility's program scope. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the therapeutic methods used. For individuals entering detox who are also managing PTSD or other behavioral health conditions, having both addressed within the same program reduces the fragmentation that can undermine early treatment gains.

The facility's dual diagnosis focus is not an add-on; it is built into the treatment structure across detox, residential, and outpatient levels of care. This matters most during the medically supervised detox phase, when untreated psychiatric symptoms can complicate withdrawal management and increase medical risk.

Who Peace Hospital Serves and How to Pay

Peace Hospital's confirmed populations include adolescents, seniors and older adults, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Each of these groups faces distinct barriers when seeking detox programs — adolescents require age-appropriate clinical protocols, older adults present different medical profiles during withdrawal, and deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals are frequently underserved by programs without appropriate accommodations. Peace Hospital's scope addresses all three.

On the financial side, the program accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, private insurance, self-pay or cash, and financial assistance. For Louisville residents weighing detox options, the combination of health-system affiliation, JCAHO accreditation, and a wide payment base positions Peace Hospital as a practical option regardless of insurance status. The facility can be reached at (502) 451-3330 and operates seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Accreditation and Program Structure

UofL Health – Peace Hospital holds accreditation from the Joint Commission (JCAHO), one of the most recognized standards bodies in healthcare. For families evaluating detox centers under time pressure, accreditation status is a fast signal of whether a program meets defined clinical and safety benchmarks — and Peace Hospital meets them.

The program runs seven days a week with consistent hours, which matters for individuals and families making same-day decisions about detox placement. Operating hours of 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily mean admissions and assessments are not limited to standard business windows. Peace Hospital is located at 2020 Newburg Road, Louisville, KY 40205, serving Jefferson County and the broader Louisville metro area.
