Treatment / Recovery
In state fiscal year 2007, the Nevada Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA) funded 27 treatment organizations providing services in 61 locations in 26 communities throughout Nevada. Services consist of intervention, comprehensive evaluation, detoxification, residential, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and transitional housing services for adults and adolescents, and opioid maintenance treatment for adults. Providers give admission priority to pregnant women and injection drug users, and provide counseling and education regarding HIV/TB, the risks of sharing needles, and the risks of sexual behavior while under the influence of mood altering drugs.
