The Kenton County Circuit Court issued a Temporary Injunction against Twin Rails Sober Living at the request of the City of Covington on Apr. 15, citing failure to meet state and local standards required for recovery residences. The court had previously given Twin Rails time to comply with all applicable state statutes and city ordinances, but the facility did not resolve its deficiencies and will now have to cease operations at its property located at 1629 Madison Avenue.
The City of Covington has created a plan to help current residents transition into properly licensed recovery residences within the city, aiming to ensure continuity of care and access to support services. Residents in need of assistance are encouraged to contact the City’s Neighborhood Services Department for information about transitional support.
