Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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 iconInpatient

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

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.

aftercare iconAftercare

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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

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.

Our Policy: NKY Med Clinic works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

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.

So I was a customer(I can t call myself a patient because I was reminded too many times that I was a customer first and foremost) for 5 years. I used to battle opiate addiction. At first I thought the clinic was a God send because I had a legal means to control my cravings, avoid withdrawls, and work on building some stability in my life. My first counselor was very ill equipped. His name was Ricardo and one day I went to the clinic after missing 4 days. I made a comment about how bad I felt and he said well if it s day 4 of not having anything you should be feeling fine. I couldn t believe someone working with people on methadone doesn t know about the withdrawal process.The first couple years I paid out of pocket with no help from insurance, and I can t tell you how many times I dug through my car looking for change because I was short by maybe $1. $15 a day is a lot of money for anyone, and I would ask them if there was any was they could help me and let me pay the difference the next day, but they never would. You used to be able to charge. First It was from 10 am-12, then it was 10 am to 11, then they got rid of it all together. Thankfully when I became pregnant from and SA charging was still an option because there s no way I could ve dealt with going through withdrawal after going through something so traumatic. I definitely would ve gone back to heroin had charging not been an option. I feel so sad for anyone that would end up pregnant that goes to the clinic today. You would think that a place who s supposedly about helping people and has the brinx truck come twice a day would be able to let people charge for at least a day or two, but the more time goes by, the more lifelines I see them take away from people.I never let them take me over 60 mg because I know how long it can take to taper down. I actually managed to taper all the way down to 13 mg, I went over 2 years without a dirty drug test, and got my take homes. They took my insurance so the last 2 or 3 years roughly I didn t have to pay anything. I gave my life to God and found my calling working in home health care/hospice. Things were good for a while. One day I got called for a call back. I had to be at work the next day at 5:30 am. The clinic opens at 5 and I asked them to please work with me somehow because there s no way I could go there, and make it to work on time. I do one on one patient care so I can t just leave and come back. They told me they used to have exceptions for people that had to work early but they got rid of it because people were abusing it. Why not make it harder for people to abuse it? Yet another life line they took away. This was really the beginning of the end for me because not long after losing my take homes, my car broke down. I had to miss several days because there s no way I could take the bus to the clinic and make it to work on time. After 30 days I tried to get them back and my counselor advocated for me, explained my situation(I was only at 10 mg at the time) and they didn t care they said no because of my attendance which is stupid because I was only missing days due to my lack of transportation and the fact that I was missing days only proved that I would ve benefited from getting them back. But as long as they re getting paid, they don t care you re just another number.The next issue and real nail in the coffin was losing my insurance. After the pandemic ended, a lot of people were asked to prove income to see if they still qualified and I technically made too much. I lost my insurance July 1st and July 6th is when they noticed at the clinic. I was hoping I d at least get by for a couple weeks u til they noticed because my savings were wiped out after fixing to my car twice. My new insurance wouldn t go into affect until august 1st, and I asked them if there s anyway they could work with me, maybe letting me charge for two weeks or figuring out some kind of plan to help me get by until then, but nothing Again I was reminded that I m a customer, not a patient.

NKY Med Clinic has been a saving grace for me. I truly never thought I would make it to this point in my life. Thanks to the help I ve received from this program, I m getting my life back. I ve had spectacular counselors including Liza and Ed, both of which have always gone above and beyond to be compassionate and provide me the best possible care. The nurses, while being under immense pressure at times, are always kind, patient and caring. Seeing them each morning has become something I truly look forward to. Overall the love and support I ve received from EVERYONE at NKY Med has been a cornerstone to my recovery. I m eternally grateful for all the work the staff here does.
