Recovery Rowan County to Expand Programs With Federal Funding

Lexington, KY, October 13, 2026 —

Recovery Rowan County will use more than $1 million in federal funding awarded over three years to expand its addiction recovery programs, including extending services into Bath and Morgan counties and restarting a jail-to-community reentry program.

The nonprofit’s plans combine an expansion of services into two counties with the resumption of a program connecting people leaving jail with the community. The summary of the funding announcement does not specify what services will be added in Bath and Morgan counties or when they are expected to begin.

It also does not provide the exact grant amount, the date the funding was awarded, or the federal agency that supplied it. The funding is described as being awarded over three years, but no start or end dates for that period were provided.

Details about the reentry program’s operations were not included. The available information does not say when the program will restart, which services it will provide, or how many people it is expected to serve. No information was provided about the nonprofit’s current service area or the number of people its programs reach.

The grant is intended to support both the geographic expansion and the reentry program restart. Further details about how the funding will be divided between those efforts were not provided. The stated plans identify the counties and program involved, but do not include a schedule or additional implementation details.
