Kentucky has been among the states hardest hit by the opioid epidemic, and its treatment system reflects that: the state expanded Medicaid, invested substantially in treatment capacity, and now has more residential and medication-assisted treatment capacity per head than most of its neighbours.
Kentucky Medicaid covers a comparatively broad range of substance use services, including residential treatment — so coverage is less often the obstacle here than it is in neighbouring states. Availability is still tighter in the eastern counties than around Louisville and Lexington.
