Lifeline Recovery Center gets $422,000 in state funding

It was announced last week that Lifeline Recovery Center of Paducah will receive $422,120 from the state of Kentucky’s Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission over the next two years.

Funding comes from the state’s share of more than $1 billion in settlements with corporations involved in the opioid crisis.

The grant will fund Lifeline’s workforce development program, which has a 100% job placement rate, along with expanded staffing, women’s campus furnishings and operational expenses.

Lifeline is a Christ-centered, long-term residential recovery program serving approximately 200 area adults each year, totaling more than 3,000 since it began in 2004. Lifeline operates a 45-acre men's campus acquired in 2022 and is currently developing a 45-acre women's campus near Barkley Regional Airport.
