Recovery help available for all dealing with addiction By Linda Waggener For individuals and families facing addiction, financial hardship, transportation challenges, or reentry into society after incarceration, local advocate Mary Bardin wants the community to know that help is available. Bardin serves as a local advocate resource representative for Redemption Road Recovery for Men and Hope City Recovery for Women, faith-based recovery programs headquartered in Barbourville, Kentucky. Her guiding message is simple: "Give us the opportunity to be the lock to your past and the key to your future." A retired nurse with a lifelong commitment to helping others, Bardin chose to partner with the recovery programs after witnessing firsthand their willingness to assist people regardless of their financial circumstances. Recovery Programs Offer Comprehensive Support The programs provide faith-based assistance for adults throughout the region who are struggling with addiction and other life challenges. Recovery services include housing through a structured six-month program, with some participants progressing into employment opportunities and choosing to remain as long-term residents within the recovery community. Families seeking help for a loved one battling addiction are encouraged to call 270-385-1525 for information and assistance. Assistance Beyond Recovery Bardin's work extends beyond addiction recovery. She maintains food boxes and coordinates a broad network of referral services to ensure that individuals and families receive support, even when their needs fall outside the scope of recovery programs. "No one goes away without some help," Bardin said. Her services include assistance with transportation, court appearances, and helping individuals transitioning from incarceration take the next steps toward rebuilding their lives. This may include obtaining employment, restoring driver's licenses, accessing community resources, and working toward responsible citizenship. Building Partnerships Across the Region Bardin works closely with numerous organizations and community partners, including Put Kentucky First with Jaime McQueary, with Bowling Park in Edmonton, and with JOY Ministries in Adair County. She assists residents throughout the area, with a primary focus on Adair and surrounding counties. Community Resource Available Bardin maintains an office at the corner of the Public Square and Campbellsville Street in Columbia. While office hours vary based on community needs, she remains accessible by phone and encourages anyone seeking help to reach out. For information about recovery services, community resources, or assistance for a family member struggling with addiction, contact 270-385-1525. About Redemption Road Recovery and Hope City Recovery Redemption Road Recovery for Men, and Hope City Recovery for Women, are faith-based recovery programs dedicated to helping individuals overcome addiction and rebuild their lives through structured support, housing assistance, spiritual guidance, and community engagement.
