Methadone/Opiate Rehabilitation and Education Center (MORE)
Located in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky, the Methadone/Opiate Rehabilitation and Education Center (MORE) is a critical resource dedicated to helping individuals overcome opioid addiction. MORE provides a compassionate and structured environment where recovery is not just a goal, but a reality achieved through comprehensive, evidence-based treatment modalities. Recognizing the complex nature of opioid use disorder, MORE focuses on healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while facilitating a stable transition back into daily life.
Our Core Philosophy on Opioid Treatment
At MORE, treatment revolves around Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), which is globally recognized as the most effective approach for opioid dependence. Our integrated program combines pharmacological support with extensive behavioral therapies. We believe that sustained recovery requires both addressing the physical dependence and providing the tools necessary to manage psychological triggers and co-occurring mental health challenges. This dual approach ensures patients receive a robust foundation for long-term sobriety.
Comprehensive Services Offered
The facility offers a variety of specialized services tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. Before starting treatment, every individual undergoes a thorough assessment to determine the most effective combination of services. Our offerings are designed to provide support at every phase of the recovery journey.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Primarily utilizing Methadone, this treatment helps stabilize patients by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, allowing them to focus on therapeutic work.
- Individual Counseling: Personalized one-on-one sessions with licensed therapists to explore the underlying causes of addiction and develop coping strategies.
- Group Therapy: Facilitated sessions that provide peer support, share experiences, and teach essential life skills in a communal setting.

The Path to Lasting Recovery
Recovery is a deeply personal journey, and MORE is committed to walking that path alongside every client. Our dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and counselors collaborates closely to adjust treatment plans as needed, ensuring continuous progress. Success in treatment is measured not only by abstinence but also by improvements in health, employment status, family dynamics, and overall quality of life. We strive to empower our clients to reclaim their independence and build a fulfilling future free from the constraints of addiction.
