Grants available for opioid addiction treatment

By Zac Oakes
Isaiah House Treatment Center Public Relations Assistant

The cost of treatment can sometimes be a barrier for those seeking help with opioid addiction, but through Kentucky's Opioid Response Effort (KORE), those in need have a new option, as funds are available for individuals without insurance seeking residential treatment for an opioid use disorder.

Kentucky residents who have an income not exceeding 150 percent of the federal poverty level annually, which is approximately $18,000 for a single household, can qualify to have the cost for 30 days of residential treatment for opioid use disorder covered by KORE.


KORE funding will also pay room and board for individuals continuing treatment in an intensive outpatient level of care in a residential treatment facility. Those room and board charges are covered for an additional 30 days.

The person seeking treatment must apply through a qualified provider (such as Isaiah House, Inc.) Qualified providers are licensed in the state of Kentucky as an Alcohol and Other Drug Entity (AODE) and a Behavioral Health Services Organization (BHSO).
