i went here in 2016, when they had a coed hall in the acute ward for minors at the time for a long term stay. my roommate (a female) was molested by a male staff member mr.scott i was threatened that i would stay longer if i said anything to the counselors and staff. at 14-15 years old that was scary, since at that point i was 3 months into my stay. i wouldn t say this place is safe in anyway, i thought it permanently closed but i guess not. DONT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE. FIND BETTER HOSPITALS!!

Accepted Insurance

Montevista Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient Rehab
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program provides further stabilization in a therapeutic environment for clients who do not require the structure of a full day program like PHP. Clients attend IOP three hours a day. This allows clients greater flexibility to manage other commitments with their families, with work or with other treatment professionals.
aftercare iconAftercare
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides short-term, intensive rehab for individuals that require intensive care but don't require it 24/7. PHP treatment offers structured programming, often involving a combination of individual and group therapy sessions. Typically, a partial hospitalization program meets for an average of 90 days with sessions taking place 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 20 hours. While some PHP treatment provides on-site accommodation, others allow you to return home.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you enter drug rehab in Nevada, you receive professional assistance to remove drugs from your body and cease your body's need for the substance. You learn coping strategies and receive support to prevent relapse and enjoy long-term sobriety.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse treatment center has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track. Chemical dependency treatment is one of the cornerstones on which Montevista is based. Helping people to recover from substance abuse or addiction and regain healthy and productive lives has been our focus and specialty for 20 years. Their medically managed programs are both highly structured and individually crafted to provide each patient with the necessary skills for a successful recovery. Utilizing the 12-Step principles in conjunction with behavior modification, our licensed and degreed alcohol and drug counselors help patients gain valuable knowledge about their disease, relapse prevention, rebuilding healthy relationships and integrating coping skills into their daily lives.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

If you're experiencing substance use disorder, dialectical behavior therapy in Nevada can help you reduce cravings, learn healthier ways to manage stress, and avoid situations that can lead to substance abuse. Treatment includes one on one sessions with your therapist as well as group sessions to practice the skills you're learning.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Research shows that motivational interviewing is an effective approach for individuals who are unprepared for change. They may be resistant to change or simply insecure in their abilities to make changes. This therapeutic method allows clients to explore their options, reach their own conclusions, and feel empowered to make changes.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Developing life skills supports your social, psychological, and physical well being. These skills give you the ability to navigate the challenges you'll face in recovery. They include interpersonal skills, self awareness, and thinking skills.

nutritional-therapy iconNutritional Therapy

Using recreational therapy in a holistic addiction treatment program allows you to find joy and purpose within healthy activities. You might engage in group games, arts and crafts, and fitness programs that promote relaxation and physical health. These are essential for long term recovery.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Considering that in this place there are patients that need serious mental health care, there shouldn’t be any yelling from the staff members. This place needs to be reported for abuse because they don’t know the first thing about respecting their patients.

I had a horrible experience at this place..from the first day I was admitted I was scared. Patients stole my clothes from my room some of the staff were very rude especially the night staff. The showers were extremely cold and I could never get assistance when my water was having issues. The beds were super uncomfortable and I had lots of nightmares. I was admitted for having episodes after experiencing a chemical imbalance from Marijuana and I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I was put on several different medications that altered my mood and weight and I was even more depressed than I was when I first checked in. There was a tech that lied and told me Justin Beiber was there to see me, there was another tech who slammed me down a few times while I was drugged. I was slapped in my face by another patient and the staff did absolutely nothing. I am so glad I survived this place .. I am a singer songwriter that gets a chance to live to inspire others with my story and music. I appreciate the few techs and staff that made my experience worth it. I definitely feel like there should of been an investigation a long time ago for mal practice and abuse. Today I am on no medication and I ve been living my life 100% free of voices and episodes I m really blessed to have survived the crazy things that went down here. No human should ever have to experience being mistreated in a facility that is suppose to nurse you back to good health. I m so glad I finally got the courage to say something after all these years.

About a year and a couple of months ago I had been placed in the Montevista adolescent acute care unit. Overall this place was the place that helped me the most and helped me look at different approaches on how to improve myself and how to make better strides. I suffered alot of trauma and currently facing a lot of difficulties now.. But I know how to handle it with better coping skills even though sometimes its hard to see the light. I have to give a shout-out to the MHTs that helped me when I was having a hard time. Oh Not to mention Mr. Ken and Mr. Q they're great. The doctor I had was Kolade and I wish he would've listened better instead of putting me on several different medications. Its kinda funny because Ive ran into a couple staff from Montevista staff outsideUpdate: Im currently on track to graduate and I have almost a full time job and my living circumstances are stable. Im off my medications for the time being. My depression is still there and I still have anxiety but I am handling it differently and I want to say Thank you Montevista

I got admitted after I was put on a 72 hr. hold for making a suicidal threat. Which I will never do again, my initial thought when I got there was, what did I get myself into. I'm 64 yrs old woman so I was put in the 500 wing. I have lots of health problems, but no psychological issues. I submitted a list of medications I take on a daily basis at home and only after repeatedly asking for them, was I given 4 of them, and I need to mention I suffer from sleep apnea. So a family member had brought my CPAP machine, which needed to have an oxygen concentrator to feed into my CPAP, which the staff there had no knowledge on how to do that. Daily without any notice, my CPAP and their oxygen concentrator was removed from room. They take your personal hygiene items and throws them away daily. They do not allow you to have any sort of towels in the bathrooms, so if you use the bathroom and would like to wash your hands, you use toilet paper to dry them.The food was somewhat decent, but not diabetic friendly. So that did not meet my dietary needs.The next thing that irrated me was there was these 2 female patients, one which would hit other people ( staff included) and one that would scream constantly. So staff was taken away from other patients needs, to babysit these women. The screaming got to the point of working on my nerves that I yelled " Shut the F Up". I'm glad to have gotten out of there after 3 days, if it would have been longer who's to say if I'd be sane.As to the Filipino night staff that speaks Filipino to each other, I don't think that is right. One of them is Mariquit and I told her so and she made a lame excuse that the other woman asked her something in filipino. So I told her that she should've told the other filipino woman that they needed to speak english, in english. The look on Mariquit's face was like " Oh sh*t I've been caught". So I feel that is one of things that needs to be addressed by management.
