The most rude and unhelpful place I have ever stepped foot in. The woman basically called me a bad person and told me she couldn’t help us because we were 30 min after some cutoff point she had an attitude the whole time while speaking to me. She told me to not even worry ...
About Lexington Mental Health
Addiction and mental health care is a vital service that every community needs and you can’t always rely on private businesses to offer it consistently or affordably. That’s why Lexington, South Carolina has Lexington Mental Health. This is an outpatient treatment center for residents of Lexington County that’s operated by the South Carolina Department of Mental Health.
Your treatment here will be based on whatever it is that you need including drug and alcohol addiction recovery. You’ll have individual therapy but you’ll also have group therapy where you’ll be with other people who are recovering from addiction. They have family therapy as well to help you and your family understand how they can support your recovery.
Something about this treatment center that I think is most notable is the fact that they’re both an addiction treatment center and a mental health treatment center. If you’re one of the many people who has a co-occurring mental health condition alongside your addiction then they can treat that here as well and they can make sure your addiction counseling and mental health treatment work together. They have psychiatric care too which means they can provide mental health medications if needed.
This facility serves adults as well as kids and adolescents. They even have specialized services for kids and teens too like a juvenile justice program and services that coordinate with your child’s school.
While this treatment center does provide an important service that the community needs the feedback isn’t very good. I noticed a lot of clients saying that they felt the care here was lackluster and that they would have long wait times when they needed more urgent care like a follow-up after hospitalization. Several clients also say that the clinic often cancels appointments with little notice. A lot of the feedback seems to be typical of a public facility that doesn’t get all the funding it needs.

Levels of Care
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.

Treatment
Mental Health
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
If you struggle with managing your emotions, dialectical behavior therapy in South Carolina might be a good method of treatment for you. This form of talk therapy helps you learn to accept yourself while working on changing unhealthy patterns of thoughts and reactions.
Group Therapy
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.
Individual Therapy
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.
Trauma Therapy
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.
Couples Therapy
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.
Family Therapy
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.
