The company is state and federally licensed as a Narcotic Treatment Program (NTP), Alcohol and Other Drug Entity (AODE), and Behavioral Health Service Organization (BHSO), and operates as a node within the GetWell Health System, LLC network.

Underlying clinical infrastructure includes a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Asad Ismail, MD (Director of NTP & Psychiatric Services) and Dawn Boston (Nursing Director/Program Compliance Specialist), supported by physicians, nurses, counselors, and peer support specialists. Telehealth is delivered through Doxy.me virtual waiting rooms, allowing remote psychiatric evaluation, therapy, and medication management compliant with Kentucky Medicaid telehealth reimbursement. Patient payments are processed via Trust Commerce, and all protected health information is governed by a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery reimbursable through Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, governed by state regulations; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led: direct patient outreach, healthcare provider referrals, and community outreach, with phone (502-233-3290) and website appointment scheduling as the primary intake touchpoints. Patients served include individuals with opioid use disorder (heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl), broader substance use disorders, and co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder, across the Louisville metropolitan area and surrounding Kentucky communities.
