Lexington VA Medical Center

About Lexington VA Medical Center – Lexington

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.

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.

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.

Levels of Care

Aftercare 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).

Intensive 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.

Outpatient

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.

Partial 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.

Programs

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

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.
