Inpatient Rehab for Alcohol & Drug Addiction in Las Vegas
✓ WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
|
If you or a loved one is facing alcohol or drug addiction, inpatient treatment can be the most thorough way to recover. At Desert Hope Treatment Center in Las Vegas, we offer medical detox and focused residential therapy in a safe, caring setting. Our program treats both addiction and the mental health issues that often go along with it.
Why Inpatient Treatment Works: The Clinical Evidence
Studies show that people who join inpatient rehab programs are more likely to stay sober than those who only use outpatient care. Here’s why:
24/7 Medical Supervision
Withdrawing from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids can be dangerous. Our doctors and nurses are always on-site to monitor your health, manage medications, and step in right away if any problems come up.
Structured Environment
Addiction often gets worse in an unstructured setting. Our daily routines, support groups, and therapy sessions help you focus on recovery above all else.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many people with addiction also deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, or bipolar disorder. We treat these issues at the same time as addiction, which helps prevent setbacks in recovery.
Therapeutic Relationships
Patients build real connections with counselors and others who understand what they’re going through. These bonds can help support lasting sobriety.
Our Inpatient Treatment Program: What to Expect
From admission through aftercare, our program is structured to maximize your chances of long-term recovery:
| Phase | What Happens & Why It Matters |
| Days 1-3: Medical Detox Intake | Comprehensive physical and mental health assessment. Medical staff monitor vital signs, manage withdrawal symptoms with FDA-approved medications, and rule out co-occurring medical conditions. Psychological evaluation determines if depression, anxiety, or PTSD contributed to substance use. |
| Days 4-7: Early Treatment | Physical stabilization continues. You’ll attend individual therapy sessions, group therapy, and educational classes on addiction science. Family sessions begin if appropriate. Case manager develops preliminary discharge plan. |
| Weeks 2-4: Active Treatment | Intensive therapy includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and group work. You’ll participate in recreational activities, fitness classes, and peer support. Treatment is tailored based on substance of abuse and individual needs. |
Treatment Modalities & Therapies We Use
Our treatment approach combines multiple evidence-based modalities to address the complexity of addiction:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifies thought patterns that trigger cravings and teaches new coping strategies.
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: Addresses PTSD, childhood trauma, and other underlying issues that fuel substance use.
- Individual Counseling: One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist focused on your unique triggers, goals, and recovery plan.
- Group Therapy: Peer support where you learn from others’ experiences and build a sober community.
- Family Therapy: Rebuilds relationships damaged by addiction and prepares the family for your return home.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): FDA-approved medications like methadone or buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.
- 12-Step Programming: Introduction to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) principles and meetings.
- Holistic Activities: Yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, equine therapy, and fitness classes support mental and physical health.

How Does Inpatient Addiction Rehab Work?
When you begin your addiction treatment program at our inpatient rehab facility in Las Vegas, NV, you’ll be evaluated by addiction specialists who will outline an individualized rehab program.
Typically, a residential stay starts with a period of medical detox before you transition to the rehab phase of addiction treatment. Detox will ensure your safety and comfort through the withdrawal process, while rehab teaches you the skills and tools to maintain lasting sobriety.
In our inpatient program at Desert Hope, we utilize a combination of evidence-based therapies for substance use disorder treatment. Therapy in individual and group settings helps patients build the skills needed to remain in long-term recovery. Common therapies used in addiction treatment include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
- Motivational interviewing.
- Family behavioral therapy.
- Contingency management interventions.
The medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of opioid and alcohol addiction can be effectively utilized alongside therapeutic interventions in a comprehensive approach known as medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This multi-faceted approach has demonstrated significant benefits, including the reduction of long-term withdrawal symptoms and cravings that often accompany addiction recovery. By integrating MAT into treatment regimens, patients frequently experience enhanced retention in their recovery programs, which is crucial for achieving lasting sobriety.
Research indicates that the use of MAT can lead to a reduction in criminal behavior and an increase in employment rates among individuals in recovery, highlighting its potential to foster both personal and societal benefits. At our dedicated medical detox and inpatient rehabilitation facility in Las Vegas, we incorporate MAT as part of our holistic treatment offerings. However, it is important to note that MAT may not be suitable for every patient. Our experienced addiction treatment team will carefully evaluate each individual’s circumstances and engage in a thorough discussion about the suitability of MAT during the admission process to our inpatient or residential facility, ensuring that every patient receives personalized care tailored to their specific needs.
Please note that if you begin with inpatient care without transferring from medical detox, cell phone use will be prohibited for the first 72 hours, aside from staff-supervised for critical time-sensitive issues with approval by your clinician, per our cell phone and electronics policy.
How Long Should I Stay in Inpatient Rehab?
The length of stay in an inpatient program at Desert Hope can vary according to your treatment needs, your support system, your insurance coverage, and many other factors. You may wish to complete a short-term addiction treatment program or stay for more a month-long drug and alcohol rehab program.
While we do not require patients to stay in addiction treatment for a full 90-day rehab program, we do offer a 90-brand promise for individuals who choose to complete 3 consecutive months of treatment (at the level(s) of rehab care directed by your treatment team). Should you complete 90 days and suffer a relapse afterward, we will invite you back to Desert Hope or a sister facility for a complimentary 30 days of treatment.

What to Expect in Residential Inpatient Treatment at Desert Hope
How Much Does Inpatient Rehab Cost in Nevada?
The cost of inpatient addiction treatment in Nevada depends on several variable factors, such as insurance coverage, duration of the program, and types of treatment programs used (patients often transfer from inpatient treatment to outpatient treatment or sober living).
Addiction treatment is often expensive, but the alternative (continuing to compulsively misuse drugs or alcohol) is much more costly.7 Fortunately, there are ways to pay for rehab in Nevada that can make the cost of treatment much more manageable. For example, Desert Hope offers flexible financing options and payment plans to those in need.
Does Health Insurance Cover Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Yes, health insurance does typically cover addiction treatment in Nevada.8 In fact, the federal government requires most health insurance plans to provide coverage for addiction treatment to the same extent they cover medical and surgical procedures.9
Desert Hope’s Las Vegas facility is in-network with many insurance providers throughout Nevada, and we make it easy to verify your insurance benefits by filling out the quick and confidential online form.
The level of insurance coverage for drug and alcohol rehab will vary between plans. Out-of-pocket costs often include deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance percentages.10 Each insurance plan will have an out-of-pocket limit, which, when reached, means your insurer will cover the full remainder of covered health service costs for the plan year.11
Inpatient vs Outpatient Rehab Cost in Nevada
Outpatient treatment can be both an alternative to residential treatment and a step-down form of care for those who’ve completed an inpatient program. Because there are fewer costs involved in providing outpatient treatment vs. inpatient treatment (i.e., lodging, 24-hour staffing, meals), outpatient care is often less expensive.
There are varying forms of outpatient addiction treatment and costs may vary accordingly. For example, our Las Vegas rehab facility offers:
- Partial hospitalization program, which consists of treatment 5 days a week for at least 6 hours a day.
- Intensive outpatient program, which involves meeting at least 3 times a week for 3 hours a day.
Costs tend to mirror the treatment intensity. PHPs, for example, involve many hours of treatment per week and are similar in services to inpatient programs, so they are likely to cost somewhat more than IOPs or standard outpatient therapy.
Sometimes insurers have different methods for charging out-of-pocket costs for inpatient as opposed to outpatient treatment. Patients are usually charged a co-insurance percentage for inpatient treatment (for example, the patient may pay 20% of the cost of an inpatient stay while the insurer pays 80%). However, for outpatient office visits, the insurer may ask for a copayment for each visit. The details will depend on your insurer and your plan.

The Right Help at the Right Time
Admissions and Treatment Planning
When you begin the admissions process with Desert Hope, our staff will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that meets your needs.
Medical Detox
If you know quitting your substance of use will lead to a painful or dangerous withdrawal syndrome, medical detox is likely to be your first step before any other form of treatment, whether inpatient or outpatient.
Partial Hospitalization ("Day Treatment")
A close match to inpatient rehab in terms of structure and programming, day treatment combines the benefits of inpatient rehab with the freedom to come and go. This form of outpatient treatment is a great step-down from an inpatient program or an alternative for individuals with commitments that preclude them from attending a 24/7 program.
Intensive Outpatient Program
These programs offer treatment several hours per day, several times per week and can be a great option for those who have completed a higher level of treatment but still need focused attention or those who have a good deal of social support at home.
