ASHLAND, Ky. (Nov. 25, 2024) — Today, Addiction Recovery Care (ARC) celebrates a significant milestone as Bellefonte Hospital and Recovery Center in Greenup County marks its one-year anniversary of providing vital psychiatric and behavioral health services to the community.
Since opening its doors in November 2023, the facility has been dedicated to supporting individuals through some of the most challenging times in their lives, offering specialized psychiatric care and recovery services in a compassionate, safe environment.
In its first year of operation, Bellefonte Hospital has served over 250 patients, providing high-quality mental health services to those in need. The hospital's psychiatric unit is designed to offer care for individuals experiencing severe mental health crises, with a focus on safety, stability, and a holistic approach to recovery.

We look forward to continuing this vital work for many years to come. I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community for their unwavering support—it has been instrumental in our success."
Bellefonte Hospital provides inpatient psychiatric care primarily for individuals who are medically stable and experiencing severe psychiatric symptoms that require immediate intervention. The hospital's certificate of need allows it to serve individuals facing primary mental health challenges, including:
- Suicidal or homicidal thoughts with a clear plan to act on those thoughts
- Severe psychosis or psychotic features that significantly impair daily functioning
- Major depression that causes a significant decline in the individual's ability to function
Bellefonte’s psychiatric unit is equipped to provide intensive care and support for those experiencing these critical mental health conditions, with the goal of stabilizing patients and setting them on a path toward long-term recovery. The facility does not treat patients with complex medical needs or high medical acuity, and all patients must be medically stable prior to admission.
