Expert Insights
Nevada saw an increase of fatal overdoses by nearly 30% between 2019 and 2020. And overdose deaths in young adults more than doubled during that same period. And fentanyl has caused some serious demographic changes around the state of Nevada and Henderson, as well.
In Henderson, overdoses have typically impacted middle-age adults. But once fentanyl hit the scene, we saw the demographics for overdoses swing towards much younger groups of males and females. We can surmise that the reason for this shift is due to the fact that younger adults are more prone to illegally purchasing drugs, and the increase in overdoses is due to the fact that these same young adults are completely unaware of the fact that the drugs they’re buying are contaminated with fentanyl.

How Expensive is Drug Rehab in Henderson?
The cost of Henderson drug rehabs varies based on the facility’s characteristics. You may pay more if you receive more than one treatment. The same is true if you choose a facility in a neighborhood with high property value or receive expensive medications. Your costs may be lower if the treatment center is located in an area with lower socioeconomic status or if you receive cost-effective medications.
