About Lexington VA Medical Center

In 2018, The Lexington VA Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, was renamed as the Troy Bowling Campus, after a former vet. Today, this campus offers comprehensive healthcare services to veterans and their families. This campus is equipped to help you work through struggles with substance use as well.

The Troy Bowling Campus offers both inpatient and outpatient services. There are accessible care options here as well including transportation to help you to your appointments and travel reimbursement cost.

Addiction Recovery Services

If you’re struggling with substance use, you’ll find supportive care through the behavioral health care services offered here. While their behavioral healthcare services primarily focus on mental health struggles including PTSD, mood disorders and other complex struggles, they also offer counseling and treatment services for co-occurring substance use struggles.

You work with mental health professionals including addiction counselors that provide trauma informed, evidence driven care. Their addiction services can support you through all stages of recovery whether it’s through an initial stabilization, medication management or ongoing support.

Specialized Services

The Troy Bowling Campus offers an array of specialized services to help bolster your recovery. For example, there’s a social worker on site that you can work with who will connect you to different treatment services in your community. This might include local 12 Step programs, helping you secure safe housing and even accessibility to free or low-cost food.

They also address the struggles of homeless vets, members of the LGBTQ community and minorities. You’ll find the care team here is made up of former vets and medical professionals who have vets in their family. With this supportive care, you’ll find the treatment team here understands the unique struggles you’re working through, and they’ll help you stay the course of your recovery plan while connecting you to different community services that will support you.

This is the absolute BEST VAMC in America. Honestly, it's the easiest to navigate and find your way around. It's absolutely the cleanest and hands-down the MOST BEAUTIFUL VA we've ever seen. As a "retired" R.N., this place makes me WISH that I was working here. I LOVE it. I'm the wife of a Vet with multiple cancers, so we've been to a lot of VA facilities. Again, the VAMC in Lexington, Kentucky is the BEST. Thank you all for your service, and thank you staff and volunteers for being SO HELPFUL!

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Recently, I had surgery at the Lexington Kentucky, VA Medical Center. From start to finish, it was the embodiment of veteran centered care. From the orthopedic clinic (my doctors, the incredible nurses, Techs, and my amazing PA - she was the most caring and competent provider, and the Phenomenal Ortho residents). To the thorough surgical and anesthesia Preop Team. Finally, the Surgical Experience- the surgical and anesthesia Team was an absolute blessing (Dr Umansky, Dr Rhyne, Barbara RN, Stacey RN, and Mandy RB) - I will never be able to say all the amazing compliments you deserve and effectively express my gratitude.. We get thanked as veterans for our service, but as a Purple heart service member who has willingly shed blood for his country - I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your service and the amazing veterans centered care you deliver to the veterans of this nation daily. The veterans and service men and women who have willingly laid down their lives in service of this country and its freedoms - all deserve this level of care, competency and compassion which are wonderful VA Healthcare system rises up to deliver. . Every single day you fulfill our nations promise “To care for those who have borne the burden of war and the cost of freedom” with the highest degree of compassion, care and attention. You All are the epitome of what superior and excellent Veteran centered care is! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Grateful veteran:).
