Expert Insights
Despite struggling with addiction just like any other state, Nevada has the lowest proportion of addiction treatment providers than any other state in the US.
That equates to 11 providers per 1,000 Nevadans. Yet, opioid overdoses continue to rise year-on-year. While I’ve seen an increase in sober living homes and recovery centers, I still think we need to do more for people in Paradise.
We are seeing increasing numbers of people moving from California to Nevada and that will put an even greater strain on our limited providers. Unless we increase mental health resources, I think the problems will only continue to get worse.

Treatment setting (inpatient vs. outpatient)
Amenities and special features (such as upscale offerings)
Length of treatment (30 days vs. 60 days vs. 90 days)
Funding source (Government versus private)
Location (rural versus urban)
