One of Kentucky’s leaders in providing care to solve the unmet needs of those who suffer from mental illness and substance use disorders is welcoming new leadership.
SUN Behavioral Health recently announced Jared Dillow, LPP as the new Director of Outpatient Services for SUN Behavioral Lexington.
Dillow brings to the team more than a dozen years of valuable clinical, academic, and management expertise and will lead SUN Behavioral Health Kentucky’s intensive outpatient center in Lexington. He spent the entirety of his career, including the last decade in Lexington, working in various aspects of the behavioral health field.
“Jared’s impressive record in expanding operations, reducing turnover, and implementing process improvements give him the wealth of experience needed to lead operations in SUN’s intensive outpatient center in Lexington,” said SUN Behavioral Health Kentucky CEO Jason Staats.
Most recently, Dillow worked for one of the region’s largest psychiatric hospital systems where he oversaw the daily operations of a satellite assessment and referral center in Lexington.
Dillow is a graduate of Morehead State University where he obtained a Master’s degree in clinical psychology.
“I was drawn to the position here at SUN because I felt like it was an exciting opportunity to put the knowledge and skills that I’ve developed through my career into use in a way that serves my community and strengthens mental health services in the area,” said Dillow.
Services at SUN Behavioral Health Lexington include group and family therapy, stress management, and trauma-informed treatment, all of which are individualized to meet the needs of the person seeking recovery.
Programming is conducted by licensed psychotherapists, nurses, and ancillary therapists, and includes cognitive behavioral therapy, coping skills training, and a wellness recovery action plan.
In addition to the Lexington center, SUN Behavioral Health operates a psychiatric hospital in Erlanger in partnership with St. Elizabeth Healthcare.
Since opening in July 2022, SUN’s mental health professionals have served more than 250 people in Fayette County and the surrounding Bluegrass area.
