Medically Supervised Detox Centers in Las Vegas

Is it safe to detox at home in Las Vegas?

Detoxing at home without medical care can be dangerous, especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines, because withdrawal from either can cause seizures. Opioid withdrawal is a key time to talk with a clinician about medication for opioid use disorder, ideally before leaving detox. Call 911 for seizures, confusion, hallucinations, chest pain or trouble breathing. Call or text 988 for a mental health or suicide crisis.

Clark County and UMC run the UMC Crisis Stabilization Center at 5409 E. Lake Mead Blvd., phone (702) 383-6200. The center is open 24/7 for adults 18 and older and offers psychiatric crisis and detox services, with stays from a few hours up to 24 hours. Patients are served regardless of ability to pay.

Nevada pharmacists may provide naloxone with or without a prescription. The Southern Nevada Health District has offered free nasal naloxone from vending machines at 280 S. Decatur Blvd., so call ahead to confirm they still run. Nevada’s Good Samaritan law also protects people who seek medical help for an overdose.

Which detox settings and payment options are listed in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas detox listings cover three settings that line up with the ASAM withdrawal management levels:

Hospital-based care is for the highest medical risk. Inpatient or residential detox provides round-the-clock monitoring. Outpatient detox suits only mild withdrawal and still needs a clinician’s supervision and regular check-ins. An intake assessment of the substance, use history and health conditions points to the right level.

How are detox programs licensed in Nevada?

Nevada oversees detox programs in two layers. The Division of Public and Behavioral Health certifies substance use treatment programs and detox technicians. The Health Care Purchasing and Compliance Division of the Nevada Health Authority licenses the treatment facilities. Ask the admissions team for both the certification and the license, then confirm them with those divisions.

Who pays for detox in Las Vegas?

Nevada expanded Medicaid in 2014. In Clark County, members choose among CareSource, SilverSummit Healthplan, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Health Plan of Nevada and Molina Healthcare of Nevada. Check with your plan which detox programs are in network, or browse programs accepting Medicaid.

Medicare Part A generally applies to inpatient hospital detox and Part B to outpatient care. Private plans vary, so ask about prior authorization. Uninsured residents can call the state help line at 1-775-825-4357 or look at state-funded programs. Pregnant and postpartum people get priority admission at these programs.

What should happen after detox ends in Las Vegas?

Detox manages withdrawal, but treatment for the substance use disorder comes next, and it is best arranged before discharge. Options include residential care, outpatient care and buprenorphine clinics for people continuing opioid medication without a gap. The Eighth Judicial District Court also runs an Adult Drug Court and a MAT Re-Entry Court for people with court involvement.
