New Guided Search Tool Helps Kentuckians Find Treatment and Recovery Resources

October 20, 2026 - 15:04

A new guided search feature from FindHelpNow.org makes it easier for Kentuckians to find substance use disorder treatment, mental health care and recovery resources that fit their needs.

The tool walks users through a series of simple questions about their situation, location and preferences, then narrows the results to programs and services that match. Instead of scrolling through long lists of providers, people can answer a few prompts and get a shorter set of options that are more relevant to what they are facing.

Organizers say the feature was built for people in crisis as well as family members and friends trying to help someone they care about. The guided format is meant to reduce the guesswork that often comes with searching for care, especially when someone is stressed or unsure where to begin.

Users can filter results by factors such as the type of service, payment options and location. The search also covers mental health support and recovery resources, not just treatment programs, so people can find help at different stages of their journey.

Kentucky has struggled with high rates of substance use and overdose deaths in recent years, and advocates say connecting people to care quickly can make a difference. The guided search is available online and can be used on a phone or computer.
