About Pathways Inc

The center treats a range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Programs are available through outpatient services, intensive outpatient options (IOP), and treatment that addresses co-occurring disorders. With more than 50 years of experience, Pathways delivers individualized, community-based support throughout Eastern Kentucky.
Pathways relies on evidence-based approaches to help clients build control over their mental health.
