Types of Therapy

Family Dynamics

Addiction takes a toll on family members as well as patients, which is why our counselors invite your loved ones to participate in therapy.

Medication Management

Because the effects of medications vary from patient to patient, we monitor reactions to ensure your dosage and schedule are correct.

Relapse Prevention

A cognitive-behavioral therapy that teaches you how to recognize situations and mental states that might cause you to turn back to opioids.

Stages of Change

Substance abuse happens in cycles. Understanding the feelings and behaviors associated with each step in the process helps you break free of old habits.

Life Skills

Helps you re-learn how to communicate and manage your emotions, which may have been neglected during your addiction.

Motivational Interviewing

A practical, empathetic, and short-term process that helps you identify, examine, and resolve conflicting thoughts and feelings.

What to Expect

When you first arrive at NKY Med Clinic, you’ll meet with a counselor who will evaluate your condition and work with you to develop a treatment plan. Once our assessment is complete, a typical day in an outpatient program may involve:

Prescribed medication administration
Individual therapy sessions with an assigned counselor
Group therapy sessions with other patients
Family counseling with parents, siblings, or close relatives
Life skill classes to practice problem-solving, critical thinking, and self-management
Regular check-ins to gauge progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed

Most health insurance covers substance abuse rehabilitation and mental health counseling.

However, coverage varies between individual policies, which may include provisions about in-network vs. out-of-network, as well as the duration of treatment.

The staff is wonderful. They actually care about you and want to help you make your life better.

Keina K.

To many people judge when your a addict. I'm Greatful that there is a place people can go an receive treatment with out prejudice!

Don H.

I would rather b broke and feel good than have money and feel bad. But it would b nice if nky med accepted medicade. Care source covers methadone for substance abuse but nky med has to b a provider and they're not.

Jerri O.

This is an amazing place and my worker is awesome she helps uvsrmtay on the right path and just wants the best for you

Stephany G.

Literally an truly saved my life.

Tracy A.

Long line with a few rude people working at the pay windows, however the dosing line is hardly ever long after 10am to close and all the nurses are very friendly and helpful plus the fact that this place serves a much needed community service on top of turning people's lives around 180*

David P.

I've been reading the reviews and I'm amazed that people complain about how much money they pay and how because of the $15 a day they deserve to be treated so great. I'm new to this location but I've been on methadone for 2 years. I remember when i used dope and how I would sit in a car in the hood for up to an hour before my dealer finally show up and then yelled at me for calling too much!! I also remember spending hundreds of dollars a day at times for them to treat me this way, not 15!! Grow up an realize that nothing is perfect and no matter what life is way better now than it was back then!

Amanda R.

I have failed at many treatments. I even failed coming out of prison. Today I have two years off of any illicit substances and am only on 5mg. Of methadone. Soon to be zero. I thank god for this place.

Christina C.

This is a great place to go to get help with opiates. You have a counselor, and many doctors your able to talk to about a treatment plan. They are usually very quick about getting you in and out on dosing days. They may put you on a temporary hold to speak with your counselor or you have to perform a urine test. As long as you do what your supposed to do it will go smoothly. I suggest if you have a job try to go in as early as possible it just in case. This place has had my back more than once.

Kristin H.

The girls up front are awesome and the dosers are awesome also

Lawrence H.

I have had good experience with them .. Yes some are rude at times but dam when u got 1,000 people wanting to dose and there counselor have them on hold there is nothing the ladys at the desk can do .. So if your yelling at them I see why thay would be rude... Other then that I do subox and I stay sober

Edna T.

Thank You!!! NKY Med Clinic and all your Staff, Especially the Nurses for the good care that you gave to so many people. But Most of all , I want to Thank My Counselor Alyssa Ball For All Her Knowledge and Caring she has helped me in So many ways. Your Clinic and Staff have Saved So Many Life's. God Bless Each and Everyone of You 🙏❤️🙏

Nancy T.

This place save my life changed my life for the better

Jason M.

I would be dead if it wasnt for this place

Kymberlee R.

Great place with some really cool Covington Cops hired to thwart illicit drug sales on or near the property. Beginners are UA tested weekly. Other local clinics should follow.My only complaint is there are too many clients willing to keep using or sell a portion of their meds, which holds back ALL of us from being to fill our meds like any responsible adult.........at our local pharmacy! Please take time to learn the FACTS, not the rumors of how methadone works! Best clinic in the tri-state! As to the above person being "stuck" there......I'm sure your drug dealer would be happy to take your money and always "be there" for you? If U R not happy with the clinic, you can always pick up the needle again, Right?

Brian W.

I have been at NKY med clinic for six years now. The first year it opened was a complete mess!! but as of right now I owe that place my life , had awesome counselors and horrible ones but I can truly say it has saved my LIFE!!!! Only one thing is that I have been clean for so long now their should be extra privileges for patients for the ones that are doing it the correct way..... For the ones still in active addiction need more intense help !!! Maybe from people that have walked a mile in the patient's shoes.... ???? Over all I appreciate every staff member there .....

Jamie D.

The staff in the front, are the rudest people i have ever seen in my life! i pay good money for this treament and i never disrespect them! and i expect them to treat me the same!!and i am sure a lot of people feel the same!someone needs to give them lessons on there manners!! When i come in to pay 200$for 2 wks!! once every 2 wks is all i every BUG them, i should be treated with just a little resecpt that is all i ask !when i come in the door i should'nt have to wait for them to get through there consversation that has nothing to do with work bfore i can be waited on i have a job too!!and there never a thank you even if you say it first !! The wrost!

Kelli M.

Looking at these comments, it's funny how so many addicts have a problem with someone trying to help, following rules, or being treated like an addict......we are what we are and there will always be people that are judgemental, ones who act so much better, that's life...but if u want to clean yourself up and get a life then it's a great place....7 years clean now off heroin...used for 16 years so I'd say it helped

Jennifer C.

Fortunate to have a facility that is helping individuals get off dope. My experience is that you have to want to be clean. This facility gets a bunch of negative feedback but just remember addicts are manipulators and want to get what they want when they want it!

Kimberly S.

The staff and couselors are awesome for the most part. Def helps with stayin on the right track.

Jennifer R.

I'm a patient there and was reading some of these review's and some of these people on here are liar's flat out. If you're serious about getting clean and follow rules and treat people with respect than it's a wonderful thing to be a patient there. Working people can't just afford to detox and lay around for weeks getting better. It's been a life saver for myself and would recommend it to anyone. Swear people lie so bad smh!

Joseph V.

I transferred in from a clinic in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are a bit more relaxed and the atmosphere is not really monitored. My counselor Davon has been wonderful to work with and seems to know me personally and is interested in what my goals are. MAT is a blessing to me and my family I couldn't have stayed clean and sober for 7 years without it. NKY Meds is just like any other clinic, you get out of it what you put into it and so far I'm loving this place ❤

christine d.

Always treated like a person. Nice and fast people . no complaints. Been here for a month and it has helped alot. -Nick Fellows

Nick F.

The service provided is life saving.. they could do better in ways of being more personable with patients because gathering the courage and will power to ask for help is not easy and can be very stressful and scary.

Teresa I.

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.

ItsJoeyMon

Sometimes there's a very long wait. Conveniently located. $15.00/day. It states that it opens at 5:30am but that is only if you have a "work pass." The doors open for everyone at 6:00am. Children are allowed. You will have to wait 10min to 1hour depending on the time, please be prepared to stand in line.

Bo S.

My children's father has recently started here at this clinic and its the truth! Meaning things are wayyyy more manageable in our daily life now that he isn't chasing a drug allll day. I'm so thankful for this program... All though it is a bit expensive it last all day for him and has been the best answer so far. So for all of that I am greatful !! 😀😀

Jacq E.

They do a great job keeping people sick. They don’t really help. Not a good clinic.

Sydney H.

I have had a great experience at nky medical clinic there were a few things that bothered me at first but after I got put with the best counselor that is trying to do more than just her job but above and beyond she has helped me overcome so many obstacles in my life and I want people to know that there is help out there and don't be afraid to reach out her name is Alyssa and she has been one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life if it wasn't for her I don't know where I would be

Millie B.

Jazlyn does an amazing job

Kayla P.

I have been going here for a while and I only come once a week I get take homes for all the other days... I have NEVER had a problem here I've always paid when I was suppose to and seen my counselor when I was supposed to... With that being said if you do what your supposed to do YOU WON'T HAVE PROBLEMS simple as that! I have stayed clean here for a couple years and I'm dosing out now with no problems! If you want it bad enough and follow rules you'll be fine.. It's a great place! Saved my life and my relationship with my family...

Melissa B.

Since I started at this MAT Facility, I've made some real positive changes in my life. My particular counselor is very attentive and the supporting staff have been very helpful and friendly. My only suggestion would be that they start offering more incentive-based programs (like classes or meetings) that offer discounts or account credit.

Kelsey N.

Been here for over a year it saved my life instead of chasing that high and calling dope dealers and worrying about getting busted it's cheaper safer and monitored at all times by doctors nurses and counselors. The counselors can be a joke at sometimes because they hop you from counselor to counselor sometimes because they can't keep no body there to work it's sad that such a great place can't keep people to work there.

Georgia Q.

Love it ,it really works for me, tell Anyone to try it I no it's scary for me to, but once I started it work ed sure I messed up A few times ok several time well nobody perfect Hope you give it a try an good luck to ya

Angela N.

Most of the time you are in and out in no time at all. There was one time during a snow emergency that I waited in line for almost 2 hours but considering the circumstances, they did the best they could. The employees have always been helpful amd kind to me but I've seen and heard of other people having issues. It can be kind of loud at times
