Southern Nv Adult Mental Health Services

The Nevada state government operates Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services (SNAMHS). SNAMHS has inpatient and outpatient mental health services, outpatient counseling, case management, mobile crisis response and other mental health services. The facility is located in Las Vegas, Nevada where they treat adults 18 and over for substance use and co occurring mental health disorders. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and state mental health agency funds.

About six miles from the famed Las Vegas Strip, residents of Clark County in Las Vegas can get help with their mental health and substance use disorders. Some of the treatment approaches include activity therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and individual psychotherapy. Clients can also receive medication management for mental health disorders.

I noticed that clients with severe mental health issues can find help through the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program. ACT is especially helpful for clients at risk for hospitalization and those who struggle with traditional outpatient mental health programs.

The ACT program improves mental health outcomes while reducing the risk of mental health crises and hospitalization. The program promotes continuity of care and increases the stability of clients with a serious mental illness.

I think many clients will find the supported housing program especially helpful. Additionally, case managers assist clients in navigating healthcare and supportive services.
