Substance Abuse Treatment in Las Vegas

The short answer

Substance abuse treatment at A Plus starts with an honest assessment and builds into a plan that fits your life, from outpatient counseling to group support and relapse prevention. Care in Las Vegas and by secure video across Nevada is judgment-free, confidential, and grounded in proven methods.

Where treatment starts

Treatment begins with an assessment that looks at more than how much you use. Many clients start with an ASAM assessment, which matches you to the right level of care using six areas of your life. From there, A Plus builds a plan you can actually follow.

Dual-diagnosis and co-occurring conditions

Substance use often travels with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or another mental health condition, and treating only one side rarely holds. Dual-diagnosis care addresses both at once, in a single coordinated plan, so the two are not pulling against each other.

Levels of care and what outpatient looks like

A Plus focuses on outpatient care, which lets you keep working and living at home while you get support. Sessions target the patterns behind the use, build coping skills, and set clear goals, with the intensity adjusted to what your assessment shows.

Group counseling and peer support

Recovery groups add something individual sessions cannot: people who understand the pull of a craving and a counselor who keeps the group safe and focused. Many clients combine group work with one-on-one counseling.

Relapse prevention

Staying well is its own skill. Relapse prevention helps you spot triggers early, plan for high-risk moments, and build a routine that supports recovery instead of testing it.

Coverage and getting started

A Plus accepts many major plans and Nevada Medicaid, with self-pay options, and is accepting new patients. Care is available in person in Las Vegas and by secure video across Nevada, and you do not have to reach a crisis before you reach out.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to quit before starting counseling?

No. Counseling meets you where you are and helps you move toward your goals at a workable pace.

Is my information kept private?

Yes. Substance use records carry strong confidentiality protections, and your care stays confidential.

What is the difference between an ASAM assessment and a SAP evaluation?

An ASAM assessment guides clinical treatment placement. A SAP evaluation is specific to DOT return-to-duty.

Can treatment be done online?

Much of it, yes, including counseling and coordination, with in-person options when needed.

How soon can I start?

Often within a few days. New patient openings are available for both in-person and online care.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day. In an emergency, call 911.
