What Is Treatment?
We believe treatment is the beginning of a new way of life. Statistics show that treatment works, and Central Recovery Treatment centers use researched and tested methods to accomplish this goal. We are unlike other treatment facilities that tend to label clients or force them to participate in a single treatment modality. Instead, our focus of treatment is on the disease of addiction, which has many manifestations besides addictive substance use. We believe in the "discovery and recovery" process. Our approach is simple, straightforward, and successful.

At all of our Central Recovery Treatment centers, we offer clients the opportunity to participate in their recovery and take an active role in the treatment process. This is an individualized and collaborative effort in which the client and staff—through a uniquely comprehensive approach—identify not only the problems that brought the client to treatment, but the many ways addiction manifests in the client's life. Once we identify the problems, we formulate a specific treatment plan that targets the client's needs. No two programs are alike. We believe this not only engages clients in addressing addiction, but also provides them with information so they can understand why they are seeking treatment.

It is important to remember that recovery cannot be accomplished overnight. Clients must explore and discover problems, learn how to address these problems, and practice healthy solutions. This takes time. And this is why we believe residential inpatient treatment is so successful. Clients are in a safe and nurturing environment while in treatment, and it is in this type of environment that many positive lifestyle changes occur. If a client does not spend sufficient time to build an adequate recovery foundation and support network, then everyday challenges and lack of support will set the stage for acting on old behaviors and thought patterns, which can ultimately result in relapse.

What Happens During Treatment?
Some clients may require detoxification prior to entering our inpatient rehabilitation program. Las Vegas Recovery Center (one of the Central Recovery Treatment facilities) is licensed to perform medically managed withdrawal, which is administered in a safe, confidential, clinical environment that ensures the very least amount of discomfort. Having an expertise in detoxification from alcohol, opiates, and painkillers, LVRC is also one of the only programs with a methadone license in Nevada, providing us a unique ability to deal with complicated cases. Even those clients who come to LVRC just to detox will benefit from participating in one of our treatment programs.

Clients meet their primary counselor within seventy-two (72) hours of admission to develop an individualized treatment plan based on specific needs, problems, and goals. Our staff understands that the behavior caused by addiction or dependency is not a moral deficiency but rather a set of behaviors that can cause the pain, frustration, and humiliation many clients experience upon admission. After an intense medical and psychological evaluation, our clients enter into the appropriate inpatient program designed to meet that individual's needs. This program will include specific counseling, education, and therapies provided by a competent and professional staff. Services typically include individual, group, and family counseling. Other services are available to enhance the treatment experience, such as physical therapy, Chi Kung, massage, yoga,and nutritional consultation.

Our treatment plans are as individual as the clients for whom these plans are developed. However, we do incorporate various group sessions that help educate clients about addiction and/or dependency. Some of the other common aspects of our program include:



In essence, what happens in treatment is change. Our clients take a break from outside stressors and explore the reality of their current life circumstances as they chart a course for their future. This is what we refer to as the Discover Recovery process.

How Is The Family Involved?
Watching a loved one in the destructive grip of addiction is agonizing and can leave family and friends feeling lost and confused. The support of family and friends plays a significant role in the treatment process. Our resident family therapist is dually licensed in marriage and family therapy and drug and alcohol counseling. She has extensive experience in assisting families affected by substance abuse and prepares them for the return of their loved one to a healthy family environment.

There may be times during the client's treatment when addressing the damages caused by his or her addictive behavior will need to be explored on a deeper level with family members. This can be an exceptionally healing exercise. If such a session is deemed necessary by the treatment team or the client requests it, family sessions can be arranged by the primary counselor.

What Happens After Treatment?
It is our goal to have each and every client leave LVRC with a successful treatment experience. However, the completion of our residential treatment program does not mean clients can go back to their old way of living. Treatment is only the beginning of a change in lifestyle that must occur if the work we have done together is to last. During treatment, we introduce clients to the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous, including NA meeting attendance, and encourage them to find and work with a sponsor. This process is an extremely important, integral part of treatment and of the NA program, and it is also essential for clients to continue with it after treatment. We also strongly recommend attending one of the outpatient programs offered at Central Recovery Las Vegas or Central Recovery Los Angeles.

Recovery is a lifelong process. We know that transition back into the community can be distressing, placing a great deal of pressure on everyone involved. To help ease this stress, we also offer alumni meetings for our clients, in addition to meetings for family members and friends.

Together we can achieve real recovery results that can help clients find freedom from active addiction.
