FLOYD COUNTY, KY (WOWK) – Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear visited Floyd County Wednesday for the opening of a new residential treatment facility.

Frontier Behavior Health is a 54-bed facility along Kentucky Highway 122 in the Martin area of Floyd County to help empower and restore hope for those seeking recovery treatment for addiction. During a speech at the ceremony, Beshear shared his support for those going through treatment and trying to get better.

“And this is a part of what we’ve been trying to do all over Kentucky, and that’s to ensure no matter where you are, no matter when it is, that if you’re ready for treatment, that there is a bed ready for you that day. That’s what everyone deserves,” Beshear said. “No matter if it’s your first time in treatment, your second time of treatment, your tenth or your twentieth time. As long as you are still trying. We are so proud of you and will support you.”

The governor and other community leaders took a tour of the facility after the ceremony.
