About Us
The scope of the drug problem in rural Kentucky encompasses alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy, mushrooms, inhalants, cocaine, oxycontin, and illegal use of prescription drugs, methamphetamine and LSD. According to a statewide household survey, an estimated 40 percent of youth ages 12-17 in Kentucky use alcohol and illicit drugs.
Based at the Cumberland River Comprehensive Care Center, Reclaiming Futures in the Cumberlands is using the Reclaiming Futures model to improve the quality of alcohol and drug treatment services available to youth in our justice system. We plan to do the following to help young people in our area:
- Improve treatment services for drug and alcohol use
- Create a comprehensive system of care that coordinates social services, and
- Involve the community in creating new opportunities for youth.
