How DeNova Stands Out from Lexington’s Mental Health Clinics: Why More Patients Are Choosing Denova

When searching for addiction treatment or mental health support in Central Kentucky, you’ll come across several options, like 2nd Chance Clinic, Spero Health, and BrightView. While each of these programs offers essential services, it’s important to find the provider that best aligns with your needs for care, convenience, and long-term success.

Why Patients Are Choosing DeNova Over 2nd Chance, Spero Health, and BrightView

Here’s a side-by-side look at how DeNova compares to these other well-known treatment centers:

Same-Day/Next-Day  Appointments, No Waitlists

Unlike many competitors who have waitlists, DeNova is currently accepting new patients with immediate availibility for therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), mental health services, and court-ordered evaluations. Whether you’re in crisis, transferring yoru care, or ready to begin your recovery journey, you won’t have to wait weeks to get help.

While some clinics focus primarily on medication or outpatient detox, DeNova provides comprehensive care including:

• Mental health therapy for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and more

• Opiate addiction treatment

• Alcohol rehab and recovery support

Local, Independent, and Patient-Focused

• Decisions are made locally, not by corporate headquarters

• Our providers live and work in the Lexington and Richmond communities

• We build long-term relationships and offer continuity of care, not just check-the-box treatment

Fully Staffed and Compassionate Team

Many clinics struggle with turnover or limited clinician availability. At DeNova, we are fully staffed with experienced counselors, nurse practitioners, addiction specialists, and case managers. We focus on relationship-driven, trauma-informed care that helps you feel safe, seen, and supported.

Whether you’re struggling with opioids, alcohol, stimulants, or prescription drugs, we treat our patients with compassion and without judgment. We proudly serve patients with or without insurance and have affordable self-pay options for those in need.
