At Neartown, healing begins in a supportive environment where men can recover, rebuild, and rediscover themselves. Set on 100 scenic acres in Western Kentucky, Neartown offers a residential program with 28 beds, treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. With seamless access to
IOP programs and
sober living after graduation, Neartown provides a path to lasting recovery and a life filled with meaning.
At Neartown, recovery is about more than sobriety — it’s about creating a design for living filled with purpose, peace, and joy. Men find balance through self-care and contribution, whether tending to the community garden whose fresh produce is used by the on-site chef, working on property projects, or exploring new opportunities in the business center for career growth. Combined with supportive therapies, group connection, and hands-on experiences, Neartown’s approach empowers the men to rediscover meaning and build a life they love.
Neartown offers a peaceful escape from the pace of city life. Just steps from Murray, KY—named Rand McNally’s “Friendliest Town in the U.S.”—residents enjoy comfortable residences in a warm, welcoming community surrounded by small-town charm. With access to Murray State University’s events, scenic parks, a public pool, a top-rated disc golf course, and the nearby Kentucky Lake and Land Between the Lakes, Neartown blends peace and the possibility of a fresh start.
Each month, alumni come together for a shared meal and an inspiring speaker, reconnecting with familiar faces in a space where they’re truly seen. When the weather cooperates, the gathering moves outdoors around a bonfire—an opportunity to feel the warmth of a community that understands their journey. Alumni leave feeling seen, heard, and reminded that they’re part of a circle of care that sticks with them long after they’ve left program walls.
