Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) 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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

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.

Rational Behavior Therapy

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

This is a review of the Dermatologist Dr Solomon. Without warning he abruptly pulled my shorts down while I was laying on my back during an exam. My junk fully exposed. Creeped me out. If he had professionally explained or warned me the first time I would have been okay with it but to just yank my drawers down was inappropriate in my opinion.

Attention United States Department of Veteran AffairsHere are my boundaries, my preferences, my rights, and also a template for my treatment plans. Please prioritize my needs and everything that I mentioned in my messages such as the following included:After being stranded at the Las Vegas VA for approximately 2 hours I have decided in order to protect myself from stress anxiety depression and other psychological harm I must post this message including details that are in my best interest:To Christina Ryan program chief of the mental health intensive case management program and supervisor of my registered nurse / case manager please ensure and provide me with confirmation that the following is available to your colleagues and signed off with my providers attached in your cprs free from any nonclinical personal opinions such as what we have discussed concerning VA personnel criticizing something as weird with no clinical professionalism such as when I was deemed incompetent in 2018 and suffered until I am finally free of my micromanagement and loss of privacy and Independence from the fiduciary program it is now August 1st 2024 and I am still waiting for my freedom and financial autonomy regained. Not only do I request that you and everyone else assigned to me at the VA assist me to ensure that never again will I face any removal of my privacy and freedom rights again especially after my service to this nation and my willingness to serve to protect the freedoms of others to include their privacy rights and other freedoms such as financial autonomy. Also this experience has caused me to suffer intense poor self-esteem mental health issues all these years. Thinking that well yes the VA says I am incompetent then it must be true despite the fact that there never was any evidence to sustain that nonclinical personal opinion from someone who apparently had malice intent to disrupt my life versus providing me with an improved quality of life.At this time I do not feel safe interacting with VA services after I was abandoned and neglected with chest pains high anxiety depression and later on nausea for approximately 2 hours on July 31st 2024 at the Las Vegas United States Department of Veteran Affairs Hospital emergency room after the failure of my Uber health driver scheduled by the VA beneficiary travel office and my VA registered nurse and case manager. Please adhere to the following:Living boundaries, especially when dealing with individuals who exhibit narcissistic traits and gaslighting behaviors, is crucial for maintaining your mental health and personal integrity. Here are the key takeaways and details you should understand:### Key Takeaways:1. **Consistency in Actions**: Living boundaries means your actions consistently reflect your boundaries. This reinforces your limits more effectively than words alone.2. **Non-Engagement**: Minimize or avoid engagement with narcissistic behaviors. Responding or reacting can fuel their behavior.3. **Self-Care**: Prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Regularly engage in activities that rejuvenate and protect your mental health.4. **Clear Communication**: When necessary, communicate your boundaries clearly and firmly. However, actions will speak louder.5. **Support System**: Surround yourself with supportive people who respect your boundaries. This helps in reinforcing and living them.### Detailed Understanding:1. **Understanding Narcissism**: Narcissistic individuals often lack empathy, have a sense of entitlement, and require excessive admiration. They may exploit others without guilt or shame.2. **Recognizing Gaslighting**: Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic where someone tries to make you doubt your reality or perceptions. Signs include:- Questioning your memory of events.- Denying things they said or did.- Trivializing your feelings.3. **Living Boundaries**:- **Actions Over Words**: Consistently act in ways that enforce your boundaries. For example, if you have set a boundary about not tolerating disrespect, leave.

I hesitate to write about the phenomenal services and care I have experienced here because I fear the hospital will become overcrowded. The Women's Health Facility feels more like specialized private care. The entire VA Facilities, Staff, Cleanliness, Technology, Appointment availability , Cafeteria food etc ALL EXCELLENT! This VA Hospital deserves every solid 5 STAR Review hands down. I just hope it can handle the masses as more veterans discover the EXCELLENT Whole Health services and care provided here. THE BEST!!The only negative is parking on some days is very full...however I discovered there's usually plenty of parking on the far away east side...

Come today to get blood work for primary doctor visit on Wednesday. Still waiting for my number 125 to be call. When I got the ticket, VA calling for #95 that was 11:10. Now 12:30 and Still waiting for my number to be called. That is 30 people to get blood drawn. They act like we have all day or something. UNBELIEVABLE.

Absolutely the finest Veteran patient care facility I've ever been to. The nicest, most modern, professionally equipped VA Hospital ever. The staff are so kind and helpful. Unprecedented service from truly dedicated medical professionals. I've been in the VA system for decades and praise this facility. The care is so good it literally brings you to tears. Please don't believe any negative reviews. There is a big DAV presence here, thanks for their service and dedication !

As a U.S. Army trained and tested 91bravo20 (Medic) who also served as a combat medic with the 1st Infantry Division as well as working (post combat tour of duty) as a "Medical Specialist" at one of the U.S. Army Hospitals that treated the worst of the worst war casualties (aka: wounded) - which included taking care of patients in ICU, the Burn Unit, Pre and Post Op etc. etc. - and then, post my Army years) I also served as a "Medical Advisor" in the U.S. Peace Corp assigned too and cared for (medically) a small village of about 500 (men, women and children of all ages) - here is my take on this particular VA Medical Facility.My treatment was so bad there (over a period spanning about 4 years) that ultimately, for health concerns, I had to leave Las Vegas (after a 15 year residence) and relocate to another VA region in order to have my health issues properly cared for.I fully understand this only represents 'my' personal experience but, as the axiom goes, there is something rotten in Denmark, so to speak - IMO - at the VA Southern Nevada (facilities; including the satellite facilities).

Almost impossible to get anyone to answer the phone. Call different depts, no answer. Last week I had to call the emergency nurse line, get the nurse to get someone to call me. That person had to physically walk the whole length of the hospital to get the dept I wanted to call me. He said he knows nobody answers the phones anymore . Then I wanted to talk to a nurse at the Laughlin Clinic, was told they don't answer phones anymore. Need an appt with Urologist, told me next available was in Oct.We Veterans need a CARD, like rMedicare or?? So we can make our own appts locally, like Bullhead City or Kingman.TERRIBLE WAY TO RUN ANYTHING !!!!

My doctors are great. The facility is clean and bright. I lived here when there was really nothing for veterans. I've watched the VA health system build up here and am extremely pleased with the work they've done and the services they now provide to veterans. Would highly recommend.
