LGBTQ Addiction Treatment in Nevada

Treatment rules and programs in Nevada

Who oversees treatment

Nevada's Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA), within the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, is the state's Single State Agency and certifies alcohol and drug programs under NRS 458.025.

Prescription monitoring

The Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program is a database of dispensed controlled substance prescriptions that prescribers and dispensers check, hosted on the State Board of Pharmacy's website.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

NRS 453C.150 protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for certain drug possession, use, and paraphernalia offenses when the evidence came from seeking help.

Court-ordered treatment

Nevada's involuntary court-ordered admission law (NRS 433A) is built around mental health crisis, and dependence on or addiction to alcohol or other substances does not qualify by itself unless a diagnosable mental illness is also present.

Featured IOP and day programs in Nevada

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

How IOP and PHP work

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) usually meet about three hours a day, three to five days a week. Partial hospitalization programs (PHP), also called day treatment, run most of the day while you sleep at home. Both deliver group and individual therapy, and many include medication management.

Every program on this page reports one of these levels of care plus an LGBTQ program or group.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
