Drug Abuse in Nevada

Nevada is a wonderful place to live but issues stemming from drug abuse continue to impact communities throughout the state. The Nevada Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency reports that drug abuse was directly responsible for 1,682 overdose deaths, 52,632 inpatient hospitalizations, and 64,502 emergency room admissions in 2018.¹
According to recent findings from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the Nevada Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the Silver State has had more than its fair share of substance abuse problems.

• 2% of Nevadans (aged 12 or older) currently drink alcohol, 23% reported past-month binge drinking (5 or more drinks on a single occasion), 6.4% reported past-month heavy drinking (14 or more drinks per week), and 5.5% suffer from alcohol addiction.^2-3
• 4% of Nevada residents currently use marijuana.²
• 3% of Nevadans used an illicit drug in the past month and 4% are addicted to an illicit drug.³
• 3% of Nevadans reported cocaine use in past year.³
• 3% of Nevada residents used methamphetamine (meth) in past year.³
• 34% of Nevadans reported past-year heroin use.³
• 7% of Nevadans abused prescription opioids in past year, 0.65% used prescription pain medications to get high in the past month, and 0.73% suffer from a prescription opioid addiction.^2-3

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that 218,000 Nevadans are currently in need of drug addiction treatment.³ However, according to the most recent admissions data available through the Treatment Episodes Data Set, only 11,101 individuals were admitted to Nevada drug rehab centers in 2019.⁴ Tragically, this means that only 1 out of every 20 Nevadans in need of drug rehab actually receive any form of treatment for their addiction.

Drug Treatment in Las Vegas

Landmark Recovery’s drug treatment center in Las Vegas provides personalized care and evidence-based treatments that can help you overcome drug addiction. Depending on the nature of your addiction, we can provide drug treatment through a combination of residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs.
Before you can begin a drug treatment program, you must first discontinue all drug use and go through detox to eliminate all traces of addictive substances from your system. If you have developed a drug dependence, you will likely experience discomfort as your brain adjusts to not having drugs present in the body. Depending on the drug of abuse and severity of addiction, withdrawal can be extremely painful and potentially life-threatening.⁵
Landmark Recovery offers a medical detox program that can carefully manage your withdrawal from drugs. You will detox under medical supervision at our secure detox center, allowing our medical team to closely monitor you for any signs of potential medical complications. Clinical specialists will keep you safe and comfortable throughout the entire detox process by providing around-the-clock supportive care along with medications that can reduce cravings and symptoms of withdrawal.⁵ If you are addicted to certain drugs, such as opioids or alcohol, these medications can be continued throughout your treatment (and sometimes for several months or years as maintenance therapy) to help stabilize your life and prevent long-term withdrawal symptoms and cravings.⁶
Once you complete your drug detox program, you will be ready to enter the therapy stage of drug treatment. Landmark Recovery guides our clients to long-term sobriety through a comprehensive treatment approach that focuses on healing the body, mind, and spirit. Depending on your specific recovery needs, our holistic drug treatment programs may include interventions such as:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy

• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
• Trauma therapy

Behavioral therapy is the cornerstone of Landmark Recovery’s drug treatment programs. During individual and group counseling sessions, you will engage in a variety of science-backed therapies that will help you identify the root causes of your addiction, modify attitudes and behaviors related to drug abuse, and learn the coping skills needed to handle stressful circumstances and prevent relapse.⁷
