Desert Hope Treatment Center
2465 East Twain Ave, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89121
Serving the greater Las Vegas area and beyond, Desert Hope tailors patient treatment programs to each individual based on their personal history of substance use, the severity of the substance use disorder, and the presence of any co-occurring mental health disorders. In addition to offering individualized care programs, we offer a continuum of care at several levels from medical detox to outpatient programs in Las Vegas. When you’re ready to transition to a lower level of care, we will happily discuss your treatment options and help you experience a seamless, comfortable transition. We can adjust your treatment program at any time to accommodate your unique recovery needs and to help you make the most of your stay at Desert Hope.
Desert Hope offers a range of evidence-based therapies aimed at helping you build a strong foundation for your recovery. Our therapies, delivered in both individual and group formats, help you modify your thoughts and behaviors as they relate to drug and alcohol use. Our therapies will also teach you healthy ways to manage and cope with stressful situations that could lead to relapse. From cognitive-behavioral therapy to art therapy, you’ll participate in numerous interventions as part of a multifaceted approach to recovery.
The features available at our treatment center in Las Vegas are intended to enhance your stay and make you feel as comfortable as possible as you focus on recovery. From chef-prepared meals that will address any nutritional deficiencies to plenty of fun outdoor recreational activities that will restore your ability to experience fun while sober and make meaningful connections with others, Desert Hope’s wide range of features will not only make your stay more enjoyable but also give you a solid foundation for recovery.
Recovery is a lifelong journey for many; it doesn’t end when treatment ends. Our programs include aftercare planning so you can continue to receive support upon leaving our facility. Continued individual and group therapy sessions and 12-Step groups can give you the support you need during the months and years following your treatment at Desert Hope. We also offer a sober living residence in Las Vegas to help those transitioning out of our program who don’t yet feel ready to return home.

Specialization
Individual Therapy
This term describes one-on-one therapy, in which a patient and trained counselor, social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist meets privately with a patient to discuss challenges related to lifestyle, work, family and romantic relationships that may have contributed to and perpetuate substance abuse.Family Therapy
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction is often called a “family disease” because its impacts extend to the entire family unit. Families can help their loved one recover by understanding and embracing the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery. At Desert Hope, we offer family therapy and encourage family visits so that everyone is working together toward the patient’s recovery.Medical Detoxification
Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects on the body, and many substances are associated with physical dependence, which means the body comes to need the drug simply to function as normal. Without the drug, the body will go into withdrawal. Desert Hope keeps you safe with medical detoxification. We have trained and licensed medical professionals onsite to monitor your vital signs and provide medical care to protect your physical and psychological health as during the acute withdrawal process.Aftercare Support
Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a rehab program. Facilities that offer aftercare planning and/or support work with patients to ensure sustainable recovery by helping to plan and make arrangements for transitional or sober living, help with housing, vocational counseling, etc. Desert Hope staff work with you from the beginning to develop your personal aftercare plan.Veteran and First Responder Specific Substance Abuse Programming
The Salute to Recovery Program is dedicated to offering specialized treatment to military veterans and first responders who struggle with substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health disorders. Desert Hope’s treatment team understands the challenges commonly faced by military veterans and first responders. The treatment team has crafted a specialized curriculum for this population that utilizes proven treatment methods focused on resiliency, behavioral change, and building a healthy lifestyle that is conducive to recovery. Those who go through this program—the battalion—will have a network to lean on long after they complete treatment.
