LAS VEGAS – Solutions Recovery Inc. is pleased to announce that the state has renewed its contract to provide rehabilitation and after care to individuals in Nevada who have been diagnosed with co-occurring disorders. Working together with Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services (SNAMHS) and the Community Counseling Center, the three come together to provide much-needed help to those who have a serious mental health illness.
Under the renewed contract, Solutions Recovery will continue to provide a group home environment, transportation and health care to the clients. Partnering with the Community Counseling Center, the clients receive group therapy to address their issues with mental illness and chemical dependency.
The contract for the Total Recovery Program includes providing regular education sessions teaching independent living skills to the clients, including money management, communication and interpersonal skills, grooming and hygiene, utilizing community resources, obtaining proper identification and even showing them how to utilize public transportation to become self-reliable.
Renee Stewart, Total Recovery Program coordinator, is happy to see that the state is helping back the program through funding and renewal of the contract, “there are very few resources in this state for [those with mental illness and chemical dependency], I’m grateful that this program is available for people to get back on their feet.”
Many rehabilitation programs require clients to have health insurance or another form of income which will cover care costs, something that the majority of individuals with a co-occurring disorder do not have. This program has taken many individuals off of the street and given them a chance to start over after being homeless for a good amount of time.
In 2014 there were 85 successful completions of the program. Since the program started in 2009 there have been more than 380 successful completions and lives saved.
Jennifer, a former Total Recovery client, says that the program changed her life. “They were here for me when I was ready to take my life back from my addiction. They offered me the tools to find a solution to my eating disorder that progressed my addiction. Without their guidance and support I would probably be dead today.”
Solutions Recovery Inc. is Southern Nevada’s premier licensed residential drug and alcohol treatment center. The organization serves as a qualified, Joint-Commission accredited vendor licensed to operate residential facilities by Clark County and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public and Behavioral Health. The organization is also certified by the Substance Abuse Prevention & Treatment Agency for treating co-occurring disorders.
Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services serves the seriously mentally ill by providing 24-hour crisis services, a medication clinic, acute short-term and long-term inpatient hospitalization, outpatient psychotherapy services and psycho-social rehabilitation.
