Stimulant Detox in Nevada

Treatment rules and programs in Nevada

Who oversees treatment

Nevada's Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA), within the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, is the state's Single State Agency and certifies alcohol and drug programs under NRS 458.025.

Prescription monitoring

The Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program is a database of dispensed controlled substance prescriptions that prescribers and dispensers check, hosted on the State Board of Pharmacy's website.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

NRS 453C.150 protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for certain drug possession, use, and paraphernalia offenses when the evidence came from seeking help.

Court-ordered treatment

Nevada's involuntary court-ordered admission law (NRS 433A) is built around mental health crisis, and dependence on or addiction to alcohol or other substances does not qualify by itself unless a diagnosable mental illness is also present.

What to know about prescription stimulants

Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.

Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.

What stimulant detox involves

The first week off stimulants is usually the hardest, with fatigue, hunger, poor concentration and low mood, followed by weeks of cravings that come and go. Detox programs keep you safe and comfortable and plan what comes next.
