Patricia A. Beck has dedicated her life to helping men and women break their cycles of addiction and despair in order to develop into productive citizens. As an ordained Youth Minister of the Lighthouse of Prayer church, she ministered to children and youth as she helped them grow and prosper into exceptional young adults. In addition to her work with children, she taught a women’s ministry and addressed issues concerning their mental, spiritual, social, emotional, and physical health.

Along with her brother, Dr. H. Wayne Creighton, she has helped to ensure the growth and development of Interlink Counseling Services, Inc., which is a non-profit, federal and state-licensed treatment facility designed to help homeless veterans who have substance abuse and co-occurring mental health issues. Her goal was to foster a holistic, transitional living facility dedicated to the physical, social, psychological, and spiritual restoration of homeless veterans around the US. Since its initial creation, Interlink has blossomed from providing ten transitional living beds to one of the largest homeless veteran programs in the state of Kentucky with over 100 beds. Interlink offers individualized treatment plans, weekly individual counseling, daily group therapy and chemical dependency recovery education, extensive relapse prevention education, aftercare, and transitional planning. Its structured, therapeutic environment is designed to further facilitate the recovery process for clients and encourages them to engage in outside self-help groups in order to establish a positive support network through AA/NA to continue their lifestyle of sobriety and serenity. Along with these services, Interlink Counseling Services currently provides a non-medical detoxification facility called the Landing Zone, Harmony House, a 90-day intensive treatment program, Genesis House program, a long-term transitional living facility, Phase II, and DUI educational classes and outpatient services.

In order to provide an opportunity for permanent supportive housing and to ease the transition into independent living for the veterans who have completed the program at Interlink, Wayne Creighton and Patti Beck partnered with Serenity Court Apartments and Coventry Commons to construct apartment complexes for low-income housing. Serenity Court Apartments is a 28 apartment sober-living community, which is currently located on Interlink campus property next to the residential treatment center. As the years progress, Patricia Beck continues to fulfill her vision of serving those in need within her community. Recently, she and Wayne Creighton have partnered with the governor of Kentucky and Recovery Kentucky to create the Alternative Recovery Center in Campbellsville, which is a 100 bed facility for men recovering from drug and alcohol abuse over 18 years old.
