The Joint Commission for Behavioral Health Care

Desert Hope is accredited by The Joint Commission for Behavioral Health Care, an internationally recognized symbol of healthcare quality and the gold standard of care for the industry.

This accreditation signifies that, through external, unbiased evaluation, we have met or exceeded The Joint Commission’s standards for providing addiction treatment for all of the levels of care offered at Desert Hope, American Addiction Centers’ Las Vegas addiction treatment center, including high acuity medical detox.

Communication

A loved one can  receive information about a patient if the patient signs a release of information for that individual.

Patients will be able to speak with loved ones after medical detox is complete, or after the first 72 hours of residential treatment. This brief period of no communication provides time for the patient to settle in to the facility and adjust to their new treatment schedule.

After the initial waiting period, patients will have the opportunity to speak with loved ones any time outside of programming hours (e.g., times they’re receiving therapy and psychoeducation).

Programming

Having a strong support network is vital in healing from addiction. Unfortunately, substance abuse can damage certain familial relationships and other relationships with loved ones.

To begin healing those relationships damaged by addiction, Desert Hope offers a family day every other Saturday from 1:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.* The leader of this program invites patients and their families to partake in an interactive and educational discussion. After the family day programming ends, staff members offer an opportunity for patients and families to visit with one another.

* Family days are currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Couples Now Accepted

Desert Hope is now allowing accepting couples, family, and friends to attend treatment together. Going through treatment together can offer families and couples a unique opportunity to take steps toward their future in recovery together.

Visiting Your Loved One

With patient consent, loved ones can visit patients every other Saturday, after the family day educational programming.* During your loved one’s treatment, we can work with you to plan a visit to our Las Vegas rehab center. Your loved one’s treatment team will provide you with all of the information you need to schedule your visit.

* Family visits may be on hold due to COVID-19.
