Levels of Care at Nevada Addiction Treatment Centers

There are several different levels of care involved in addiction treatment. These include:¹

• Medical detox. This is the first step for many people with a moderate to severe dependency on drugs or alcohol. In detox, patients are monitored by medical staff, who may provide medication to stabilize the patient as needed while they go through acute withdrawal. Detox is not needed for all addiction patients. For those that do require detox, most need additional treatment to address the other psychological and behavioral factors that contribute to their addiction.
• Inpatient or residential treatment. Some facilities may differentiate between inpatient treatment (provided in a hospital setting) and residential treatment (provided in a hotel-like environment). Both forms of addiction care require the patient to live at the facility while benefitting from around-the-clock care and supervision. Types of treatment provided include behavioral therapy, medications for substance use disorder, psychoeducation, peer support, and more.
• Outpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment utilizes many of the same treatment approaches used in inpatient care. However, patients in an outpatient program live at home while visiting the facility for treatment sessions.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment is a viable option for people with addictions that have a safe living environment and social support. There are various levels of outpatient treatment offered in Nevada. These include:²

• Partial hospitalization Programs (PHPs). PHPs are the most intensive form of outpatient care, often requiring patients to visit the facility each weekday for a minimum of 6 hours a day, or a weekly minimum of 20 hours.
• Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs). IOPs allow slightly more flexibility in scheduling, requiring weekly attendance between 9 and 20 hours.
• Standard outpatient treatment programs. This is the least intensive form of outpatient care. Patients visit the facility for treatment at intervals determined by the clinical staff.

It is common for patients in outpatient treatment to have completed a residential program or to move through several levels of outpatient care.

Nevada State-Funded Rehab Options

Nevada operates a free Crisis Call Center hotline 24/7 for individuals experiencing any type of crisis. This referral service helps connect individuals with resources to get the care they need.

Treatment providers certified with the state of Nevada’s Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA) are listed on the Department of Health and Human Services Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) website, which separates the facilities that are state funded from those that are not.
