About Desert Hope
Desert Hope changes lives through high-quality addiction treatment designed to meet each client’s needs. Their hotel-like facility in central Las Vegas is a treatment oasis with an array of amenities. Veterans engage in the Salute to Recovery program to heal invisible scars, while couples seeking treatment together find support through marriage and family therapy. Along with these specialized programs, Desert Hope offers medical detox, day treatment and sober living, giving clients opportunities to continue making progress.
Experience a Well-Rounded Recovery
Desert Hope offers individual and group therapy in all their treatment programs to help clients change negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and resolve any hesitation about getting sober. They use an integrated approach to treat both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. When necessary, medical detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) support withdrawal and stabilization. Both 12-Step and alternative groups are available for peer support and motivation.
Heal in an Upscale Treatment Oasis
Located in a gated facility, Desert Hope offers hotel-style accommodations combined with life-changing experiences. Clients stay in single- or double-occupancy rooms equipped with private bathrooms and A/C. An in-house chef provides 3 balanced meals each day, with snacks in between. Shared spaces include a fitness center, art room, courtyard, volleyball, basketball, and a 12-Step support walk. Clients benefit from weekly visits and, for added comfort, clients’ emotional support animals are welcome.
Prepare for Success Post-Treatment
Just as with the initial rehab treatment plan, Desert Hope staff create a specialized aftercare program to meet each client’s specific needs. Prior to discharge, the team will work alongside the client to set up the necessary support to continue to reach sobriety goals, including help with medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal issues. The treatment team may also recommend continued care in Desert Hope’s outpatient or sober living programs.
