Enroll in an online Behavioral Health & Substance Awareness class built to help Kentuckians understand substance-related risks, stress responses, and healthier decision‑making. CourtCure offers flexible 4–60 hour options that you can take on your own schedule from any device. Many people in Kentucky use a general awareness class for personal growth or when a judge, diversion program, probation/parole officer, employer, or school asks for educational hours focused on choices and wellness. Because Kentucky authorities set acceptance locally, you should confirm the provider, online format, required hours, deadline, and what completion document they need before you buy. If your situation involves KRS 189A (DUI), use a certified Kentucky DUI provider instead of this general course. When you’re ready, choose your hour length and get started today—learning practical tools you can put to work immediately while meeting your verified requirements.

Kentucky-Specific Information
What to know in Kentucky: educational classes tied to court or supervision are usually set locally, not by a single statewide curriculum. Kentucky judges may order rehabilitative conditions during probation or conditional discharge, including undergoing medical or psychiatric treatment and submitting to alcohol or drug testing when a substance problem is indicated. Those conditions are discretionary and tailored to the case. ([apps.legislature.ky.gov](https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=55474)) If you are supervised by the Kentucky Department of Corrections (Probation & Parole), you must follow “Conditions of Supervision.” In addition to the listed regular rules, the court or Parole Board can add special conditions such as attending drug treatment; officers may also add reasonable conditions to support compliance. Always confirm any class hours, timelines, or documentation requirements with your officer before enrolling. ([corrections.ky.gov](https://corrections.ky.gov/Probation-and-Parole/Pages/Information-for-Offenders.aspx)) Kentucky’s Specialty Courts—Drug Court, Mental Health Court, and Veterans Treatment Court—operate within the Administrative Office of the Courts and connect participants to treatment, drug testing, and case management. These programs commonly coordinate approved services; if you participate in one, ask your Specialty Court team what educational courses (if any) they will accept. ([kycourts.gov](https://www.kycourts.gov/Court-Programs/Specialty-Courts/Pages/default.aspx)) Very important: Kentucky treats DUI education and treatment differently. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services (DBHDID) regulates DUI providers and specifies that DUI services must be completed at AODE‑licensed, certified programs; the page notes that online DUI courses are not accepted in Kentucky. For license consequences, the Transportation Cabinet accepts proof only from authorized DUI programs and publishes how to submit completion and manage reinstatement or ignition‑interlock steps. If your order or license notice mentions KRS 189A, DUI, or KIIP, you should use a certified DUI provider rather than a general awareness class. ([chfs.ky.gov](https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dbhdid/Pages/duiprogram.aspx))
How Kentucky Orders Typically Specify Classes
Kentucky does not have one statewide “behavioral health class” rule. Instead, the judge, diversion authority, or supervision agency sets conditions case by case. Under KRS 533, courts may require treatment, substance testing, or other rehabilitative steps during probation or conditional discharge. Probation and Parole also list “special conditions” that can include attending drug treatment or other services, and officers may add conditions needed for successful adjustment. Your paperwork may appear as a plea agreement, diversion order, or conditions-of-supervision form and can list hours, topics, or completion dates. Read it closely and verify with the contact named on the order before enrolling. If you are in a Specialty Court (Drug Court, Mental Health Court, or Veterans Treatment Court), acceptance of outside education is typically coordinated through your program staff. ([apps.legislature.ky.gov](https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=55474))
Important: This Is Not a Kentucky DUI Program
Kentucky’s DUI assessment, education, and treatment are regulated by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (DBHDID). The state specifies that DUI services must be completed at AODE‑licensed, state‑certified DUI programs—and it explicitly notes that online DUI courses are not accepted. For driver’s license matters, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet only accepts completions from programs it lists as authorized for DUI treatment and provides instructions for submitting proof. If your paperwork involves KRS 189A (DUI), ignition interlock, or license reinstatement, do not use this course; contact a certified Kentucky DUI provider instead and follow KYTC directions. For non‑DUI educational referrals (for example, “substance awareness” hours unrelated to KRS 189A), ask the requesting authority whether an online class like CourtCure’s is acceptable before purchase.

Acceptance & Requirements in Kentucky
Acceptance in Kentucky is decided by the requesting authority (for example, a judge, probation/parole officer, diversion coordinator, attorney, employer, or school). Before you enroll, confirm four things with the person or agency that assigned you a class: provider acceptance of an online, self‑paced course; the exact number of hours required; your deadline; and what completion document or reporting method they want (downloaded certificate, printed copy, or other instructions). Kentucky judges may set individualized education or treatment conditions under KRS 533, and the Department of Corrections can add special conditions during supervision, so requirements can vary by county and case. If you are in a Specialty Court program, ask your coordinator what is acceptable. This CourtCure page is an entry to a general educational course; it is not a substitute for any program that explicitly requires a Kentucky‑certified treatment provider. ([apps.legislature.ky.gov](https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=55474))
Completion Certificate & Documentation
After successful completion of your selected CourtCure behavioral health & substance awareness course, you can access the completion certificate/documentation provided with that course. For a Kentucky referral or requirement, confirm before enrolling what the requesting authority expects the completion document to show and how it should be submitted. The same CourtCure completion process is used for students in every state; acceptance, required hours, deadlines, and document requirements remain subject to the requesting authority.
Behavioral Health & Substance Awareness in Kentucky — Frequently Asked Questions
Will a Kentucky court accept an online behavioral health or substance awareness class?
Possibly, but it depends on the authority that assigned it. Kentucky judges can set individualized probation or diversion conditions under KRS 533, and Probation & Parole can add special conditions, so acceptance varies by case and county. Ask the judge’s office, your attorney, or your supervising officer whether an online, self‑paced class and your chosen number of hours will be accepted before you enroll. ([apps.legislature.ky.gov](https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=55474))
Is this the same as a Kentucky DUI class?
No. Kentucky’s DUI assessment, education, and treatment are regulated by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. DUI services must be completed at AODE‑licensed, certified programs, and the state notes that online DUI courses are not accepted. For license matters, the Transportation Cabinet only accepts completions from its authorized DUI treatment list. If your order involves KRS 189A/DUI, use a certified DUI provider. ([chfs.ky.gov](https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dbhdid/Pages/duiprogram.aspx))
How many hours should I choose for Kentucky?
Select the hours that match your paperwork or the guidance from your court, probation/parole officer, diversion coordinator, attorney, employer, or school. Because Kentucky requirements are authority‑specific, confirm the exact hour total (for example, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 30, or 60 hours) and any deadline before purchasing. If your order is tied to DUI law (KRS 189A), do not use this course; find a certified DUI program. ([apps.legislature.ky.gov](https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=55474))
Where can I find treatment or counseling in Kentucky if I need more than an educational class?
Kentucky’s Community Mental Health Centers (14 regional boards) provide publicly funded behavioral health and substance use services. You can locate your region’s CMHC and contact information by county through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. If you are in a Specialty Court, ask your program staff for approved referrals. ([chfs.ky.gov](https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dbhdid/Pages/cmhc.aspx))
