Nevada Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers

Substance abuse is a serious and growing issue in the United States, with more than 20 million people suffering from a substance use disorder in 2015.¹

In Nevada alone, nearly 7,000 individuals undergo treatment at a rehab facility every single day.² Statistics show that a standalone drug abuse problem is the most common reason people seek addiction treatment in the state; however, experiencing an addiction to both alcohol and drugs at the same time is also quite common.

In fact, Nevada’s rates of alcoholism exceeded the national average every year between 2011 and 2015, and more than 35% of NV residents in treatment in 2015 were seeking care for co-occurring drug and alcohol use disorders.²

Substance use disorders can cause or contribute to a staggering number of deaths in the U.S. Drug overdoses are, of course, a major cause for concern, with more than 600 overdose deaths in NV per year, but accidents and injuries resulting from drug use are also a major problem.³ Drunk driving alone was responsible for nearly 100 deaths in NV in 2015.⁴
