Licensed providers offer different types of treatment and care for persons battling alcohol, drug addiction Five types of facilities that treat drug and alcohol addiction are identified under Nevada law. The inspectors and licensing staff at the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance monitor these facilities to make sure they follow the laws and regulations written to protect the people under their care. While each of these facilities helps people with addiction, they differ in services provided (e.g., residential/outpatient, medical/social therapy). The chart below gives a side-by-side comparison of these facility types (click the facility type link for more info):
The chart also includes Transitional Living Facilities for Released Offenders (TLF). Many released offenders residing in TLFs have alcohol or drug abuse issues and require reintegration services (Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, mandatory curfew, house rules, etc).
