I feel like they're not really willing to understand you and try to accommodate your individual needs. I called to tell them I couldn't make my appointment due to a personal issue and they were not understanding at all and were not willing to reschedule my appointment.
About NKY Med Clinic
They accept several commercial insurance plans including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, United Health Care/Optum and Humana. They also take Medicare and VA Community Care. They take other insurance too, so if you don’t see yours on the list then you can contact them and ask whether they accept yours.
In the program, you’ll start with a medical and clinical assessment to evaluate your mental and physical health. They’ll develop a customized treatment plan based on your health and history of substance use. If appropriate then you’ll be started on MAT. The MAT drugs offered here are Vivitrol, Suboxone and methadone.
Treatments include individual counseling where you’ll meet one-on-one with a counselor to determine what therapies will be best for you. If you have a co-occurring disorder then your counselor will decide the best course of treatment to improve your quality of life and successfully address your substance use.
Group counseling is another part of the program. In group counseling, you’ll meet with other patients facing similar struggles. You’ll give and get feedback and support. There is also a peer support group where you’ll meet with and get guidance and support from others who have recovered from their addiction to opioids.
Motivational interviewing (MI) is another type of therapy you may participate in. It’s a short-term therapy that helps you identify and examine many of the conflicting feelings and thoughts you may have. Through MI, you’ll learn to resolve those feelings through an empathetic and practical process. With the therapies and MAT treatment together, you can work toward a healthier, happier lifestyle.

Thank you, Steve! We appreciate the kind words. Our team will love to see this! 😊
NKY Med clinic saved my life. It took me a bit to finally get clean, but when I did, & actually worked a program. My life changed. I got my family back, I was able to get a job, not only get a job but be reliable to my employer. Get my own place. I never thought I'd be able to live a life like this.
On the counselor side, I've had countless. But my most recent counselor Ashlyn, is the absolute best. She keeps me updated with any information I might need, she's always there for me to talk to, she's always consistent. Which is hard to say for some of the employees. But all in all, good place

Hi Katie! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, this truly means everything to our team! 🩵
This place is great. I have dealt with a few clinics due to moving and I will say this one is by far the best and they actually follow all the rules and give you what is deserved . At other clinics I have had people make up rules, treat others differently when we’re all equal, and just have a very unpleasant experience. This one gives you what you are owed after hard work it should be this way. Like take homes , tell you when you’re doing good, treat with respect, and many others. Monique at the front desk is always very nice and has a smile on her face when checking in, Thanks Monique, and all the others at the front desk are very nice and respectful. Also the counselors are all very nice also, Taylor has been so helpful and treated me with respect like you should be treated. Thanks Taylor for all you do. And the nurses are great also and very nice and respectful. Thanks. And to the doctors, thank you for being nice. And to anyone else there thank you ,no matter who your dealing with there , your treated with respect and they go above and beyond. 🙏 🙏 Thanks Nky Med Clinic 🙏 🙏

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those in crisis situations that may increase their risk of relapse. Clients reside at the inpatient treatment center for the length of the program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on the program design. Inpatient treatment typically includes 24-hour clinical care and extensive addiction counseling and recovery education using CBT, DBT, RBT, motivational interviewing or other psychotherapeutic approaches.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) specialize in high-level care for clients requiring robust support. This includes those in early recovery, those in crisis, and those stepping down from inpatient care. Clients typically participate in a minimum of nine treatment hours per week, but many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 hours of service weekly. Their primary treatment modalities generally combine psychotherapy and recovery education. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and/or opioid recovery is widely available.
Rehab aftercare programs ensure clients' access to continuing care after the completion of intensive inpatient treatment. Outpatient care is often considered a component of drug rehab aftercare, but most clients continue to receive support services after being discharged from formal treatment. Service portfolios are customized to clients' unique and evolving needs and are often designed in collaboration with clients' case managers and care teams. Peer coaching, career counseling, relapse prevention, and 12 step program induction are standard.
Often beneficial for individuals who don't require 24-hour supervision, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) can be an alternative to inpatient rehab or a transitional option. PHP treatment typically involves 6 to 8 hours of treatment per day, up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. PHP treatment often includes relapse prevention strategies, medication management, and other behavioral therapy interventions. While the cost of a partial hospitalization program can vary, it is often covered by insurance.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Kentucky often starts with detox, then includes inpatient or outpatient treatment, and continues with aftercare support. Specific methods used during each of these phases varies, but often include individual and group counseling, medication, and recreational therapies.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
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 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.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
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.
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.
Accreditations
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.
