Addiction Treatment

Addiction Treatment Overview
Addiction Treatment works, and long-term recovery for addicts and families is more available today than any time in history. Las Vegas Recovery Center (LVRC) and its family of addiction treatment providers have developed a comprehensive continuum of care designed to help both our clients and their families to "discover recovery" from addiction.

Medically Managed Withdrawal
Medically managed withdrawal is only the beginning of the recovery process and is administered in a safe, confidential, clinical environment that ensures the very least amount of discomfort during addiction treatment.

Our Inpatient Addiction Treatment Program
After an extensive medical and psychological evaluation our clients enter into the appropriate inpatient addiction treatment program designed specifically for that individual and his or her family.

Learn more about our Inpatient Addiction Treatment Program.

Our Intensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment Program
It is important to understand that intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) is designed for those who have a stable home environment along with a recovery support network in place. Our Intensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment Program is designed to assist those who have completed detoxification and inpatient treatment or for those who have been identified as candidates for direct admission to IOP.
