Brook Hospital KMI Review
Founded in 1985, The Brook Hospitals in Louisville, Kentucky have been offering a continuum of care including detox, inpatient, outpatient and aftercare services for thirty years. The Brook Hospitals have two facilities, KMI (referring to its former name: the Kentucky Military Institute) and Dupont. The KMI location offers mental health and addiction treatment services to adolescents and adults using evidence-based treatment methods and 12-step recovery. The programs treat clients in a medically monitored setting requiring active participation in various groups throughout the day, with support for those with co-occurring disorders.
Accommodations and Food
The Brook Hospital KMI is a 94-bed facility with double occupancy rooms. Out of the 94 beds, 56 are reserved for adults. The facility is separated into age-specific halls, allowing teens and adults to live among their peers. Each hallway has several rooms with twin beds, dressers, desks and a bathroom. Though the rooms are gender specific, the rest of the facility is co-ed. There is a large living area with comfortable couches and a collection of board games for clients to enjoy during down-time. There’s also a game room with a pool table, a ping pong table, a Foosball table and work-out equipment. Residents also have access to a rock climbing wall and basketball courts. All recreational amenities are integrated into weekly treatment.
Meals are prepared on-site and served in a cafeteria setting. The menu includes a variety of traditional American-fare options including pizza, pasta, soups, lasagna, salads and hot and cold sandwiches.
Treatment and Staff
Treatment at KMI begins with a free assessment, after which clients develop individualized treatment plans to suit their medical and psychiatric needs. Those with co-occurring disorders are offered medication management. KMI also provides on-site medically monitored detox for those who need it.
Residents are encouraged to stay for eight weeks, during which time they attend individual and group therapy, 12-step meetings, occupational and recreational therapy, art therapy, and aftercare planning. Groups are divided by age and gender. The adolescent groups include teens between the ages of 13 and 18 while adult groups are for those 18 and over. Typically, all groups cover topics like relapse prevention, addiction as disease, substance abuse education, coping skills, anxiety, depression and anger management. There are a few differences in the groups—for example, there is a teen group for girls that focuses on addressing eating disorders and an adult trauma group for women. Individual sessions are scheduled as needed but usually meet once a week for an hour at a time. These are used as check-ins as well as an opportunity to delve into more personal issues.
The staff consists of CASACs, CSWs, a CTRS and a psychiatrist.
