Questions people ask about NKY Med Clinic

Which levels of care does NKY Med Clinic have?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Covington has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does NKY Med Clinic offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Covington, a few streets away.

Can you stay overnight at NKY Med Clinic?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Covington has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

Which medications does NKY Med Clinic prescribe?

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into Covington.

Is NKY Med Clinic an option for someone over 65?

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Covington cover.

Is there a program at NKY Med Clinic for people like me?

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Covington does.

Is 30 days enough?

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. The early part of any program is mostly stabilizing, and the work people picture when they think of treatment starts after that. Ask what the schedule is day by day, because that is what you will be living.

Can I keep my job if I go to treatment?

You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. A documented medical leave is a stronger position than an unexplained absence, which is the comparison that matters. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
