About Sierra Sage Treatment Center
Sierra Sage Treatment Center is a residential mental health and addiction treatment facility for young women aged 14 to 17 in Minden, Nevada. Here, you’ll experience a safe, normalized high school experience as well as vocational training and counseling to help you overcome your challenges and prepare for a healthy future. They accept self payment, BlueCross/BlueShield insurance plans, and Medicaid. They’ll also work with funding from the Adoption Assistance Program.
I like that this facility offers such an enriching approach to therapy. They develop individualized treatment plans based on each client’s needs, taking their strengths and goals into account. Here, they focus on nine evidence based therapies, which are conducted in individual and group settings. Some of these therapies include dialectical behavioral therapy, Thinking for a Change, positive skill development groups, and Seeking Safety. During therapy, you’ll learn more about your condition, identify some of your triggers, and develop healthy coping skills.
While your therapy sessions will take up a portion of your day, student life also plays a major role in your recovery. While you’re in this program, you’ll attend onsite high school classes on their beautiful campus. There are also lots of extracurricular activities to explore, such as sports, intramurals, and student clubs. They definitely encourage your family to be involved in your academic and therapeutic activities as much as possible.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.

Treatments
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab 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.

Substance abuse counselors may apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Nevada during individual, family, or group sessions. Using a goal oriented approach, the therapist will help participants change negative thinking and behavioral patterns to address substance use and related challenges.
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 opportunities in Nevada allow you to see how successful recovery behaviors are modeled by your peers. You learn conflict resolution skills and are empowered to recognize your strengths and overcome your addiction.
Individual therapy provides you with a confidential setting to explore the complex factors that contribute to drug and alcohol addiction. Your therapist can provide tailored support and help you develop healthy coping strategies, improve self control, and build a foundation for sustainable sobriety.
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.
Sessions for couples therapy may involve joint meetings with the counselor as well as individual sessions. Between sessions, both partners are asked to do "homework," which involves practicing the insights and behaviors they learned about during therapy.
During family therapy sessions, your therapist facilitates discussions that help members of the family unit understand addiction and how it affects the entire family, providing you with coping strategies that help to strengthen the family unit.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
