About NKY Med Clinic – Covington
NKY Med Clinic is part of Pinnacle Treatment Centers and this is one of their outpatient clinic locations. The clinic is on Madison Avenue in Covington, Kentucky and is CARF-accredited. They offer comprehensive support for opioid use and co-occurring disorders. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and therapy are the core treatment services.
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.
