DeNova

About DeNova

DeNova is an outpatient behavioral health practice in Lexington, Kentucky, with a second office in Richmond, and they treat both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Their name comes from a Latin phrase meaning “from the beginning,” which reflects their belief that anyone can start a new path, whether they’re dealing with addiction, a psychiatric condition, or both. They see patients aged 6 and older and treat alcohol and drug use alongside depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. For addiction care, they offer medication-assisted treatment, outpatient detox support, and intensive outpatient services, with next-day appointments, possible same-day visits in urgent situations, and telehealth for people who can’t easily come into the office.

Their intensive outpatient program is built mainly for substance use and gives adults about nine hours of care each week across several sessions. It can serve as a first step into treatment, as step-down care after an inpatient stay, or as a step-up from standard outpatient care. Placement starts with a multidimensional assessment that looks at substance use, physical and mental health, readiness to change, living situation, employment, and support network. Treatment centers on medication management and counseling, with relapse prevention, trigger identification, coping skills, and employment support. They also offer individual, couples, group, and family counseling, EMDR for trauma, peer support, targeted case management, SMART Recovery meetings, drug screenings, digital therapeutics for ongoing monitoring, and DUI and parenting assessments and classes.
