Safe, Successful, Sustainable Recovery
Raven Cares is a safe and recovery-focused 24-bed co-ed housing facility located in Morehead, Kentucky, which helps adults who are transitioning from short-term (acute) substance abuse recovery into long-term recovery.
Comprised of six townhomes, divided by gender, each completely renovated two-bedroom, two-bath unit houses up to four residents at a time, ensuring a communal environment with plenty of space and privacy. You’ll find a much more comprehensive approach to long-term recovery at Raven Cares because, unlike other recovery-focused living facilities, we offer our residents structure and wrap-around services to ensure accountability, success, and sustainable recovery during their time with us and well after!
Raven Cares is dedicated to enriching the lives of people committed to, or seeking, recovery from the abuse of alcohol and drugs. To foster positive change, we work directly with communities, organizations, families, and individuals, helping people affected by addiction to live productive and fulfilling lives.
Cost can be a major barrier to ongoing, effective treatment, so we offer financial assistance that can help our participants afford stable housing, healthcare, education, and childcare. We can help with transportation, educational and employment opportunities, and applying for expungement of criminal records. We also offer training and community partnerships to help our residents re-enter the community after leaving the program.
In addition to these services, Raven Cares’ programs rely on solid evidence proven to reduce future substance use — and encourages residents to pursue healthy, community-oriented activities. Licensed practitioners in Raven Cares’ clinical services lead bi-weekly therapy sessions to address co-occurring disorders, trauma, and other mental-health challenges related to addiction. We also have support groups to help participants identify and address triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms — all while creating fellowship and a support network.

Raven Cares
Our Funding
Raven Cares is made possible, in part, by funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Inspire Initiative. This initiative is part of a $12 million package for 33 new or expanded projects helping address our region’s substance use disorder crisis. Raven Cares works with other organizations to offer safe housing, remove barriers to recovery, foster sustained recovery, provide needed ancillary services, and place individuals in meaningful long-term employment. This project will strengthen our citizens, businesses, and community.
