Addiction Treatment in Reno, NV

Step 1: Medical Detox – Intake and Stabilization

Medical Detox can feel overwhelming; you don’t have to face it alone. Clients begin recovery in a calm residential setting with 24/7 nursing oversight. Withdrawal symptoms are closely monitored, cravings are managed with proven medical support, and clients have the privacy and comfort needed to take those first difficult steps forward.

Step 2: Residential Treatment – Structured, Full-Time Care

After detox, clients transition into residential treatment, an immersive program that removes the stress of daily life so recovery can take center stage. Reno’s residences are warm and home-like, not hospital-like, with a focus on dignity, rest, and stability.

Clients in 24/7 residential care benefit from:

• Daily support from licensed, master’s-level therapists who aren’t just names on a schedule. They meet with clients consistently, helping build trust and guiding the healing process every step of the way.
• Trauma-informed therapies including EMDR, CBT, and DBT, giving clients tools to process past experiences safely and develop healthier thought patterns.
• Chef-prepared meals, customized for dietary needs such as diabetes-friendly, low-carb, or allergy-conscious plans, ensuring clients feel physically supported while focusing on their recovery.
• Gender-specific housing, creating spaces where clients feel safe, understood, and supported by peers with similar life experiences.
• Free local transportation, so attending care isn’t another barrier so clients can focus on recovery while we handle the logistics.

This combination of evidence-based care and holistic support gives clients the tools, resilience, and confidence to rebuild their lives.

Holistic & Experiential Therapies

Beyond traditional therapy, clients at Reno can also participate in a variety of experiential and holistic options that reinforce recovery skills, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being:

• Equine therapy for building trust, responsibility, and emotional regulation.
• Art and music therapy as outlets for creativity, expression, and healing.
• Mindfulness, yoga, and movement to calm the nervous system and improve physical strength and balance.
• Family therapy and support groups to repair relationships and create networks of lasting support.

These therapies are woven into daily schedules to strengthen the clinical work clients do in therapy, helping them practice new coping skills while building confidence in real-world settings.

Step 3: Outpatient Treatment – Flexible Step-Down Care

Healing doesn’t stop when residential ends. At Reno, clients can transition into our Outpatient Program that allows them to continue therapy while re-integrating into work, school, and family life.

Outpatient care includes:

• Individual and group therapy sessions
• Trauma-informed and holistic supports
• Flexible schedules that respect family and work responsibilities
• Structured accountability to reinforce skills learned in residential

This step ensures recovery stays strong while clients begin navigating real-world responsibilities again.

Step 4: Lifetime Aftercare & Alumni Support

At New Dawn, we know that recovery isn’t a 30-day process. It’s a lifelong journey. That’s why our alumni and aftercare programs are some of the strongest in Nevada, giving clients the tools and community they need long after residential or outpatient care ends.

Here’s how our alumni program stands out:

1. Personalized Relapse Prevention Plans: Before graduation, every client leaves with a detailed roadmap: identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and practicing relapse-prevention tools. This plan is designed to help clients feel confident navigating real-world challenges.
2. Regular Check-Ins From Your Team: Discharge doesn’t mean goodbye. Our staff follows up with alumni to provide encouragement, support, and accountability. These touchpoints keep clients connected and remind them they’re never alone in recovery.
3. Flexible Continuing Care Options: Alumni have access to ongoing outpatient therapy, sober living referrals, and community-based groups that fit into their lifestyle and schedule – ensuring recovery stays strong no matter what life looks like.
4. The Largest Alumni Network in Nevada: With access to peer-led meetings, mentorship opportunities, and alumni events, clients join a thriving network of people who truly understand their journey. This community provides both accountability and inspiration.
5. Always-On Digital Connection: Our alumni app makes support available 24/7, from encouragement and reminders to connecting with peers for accountability. It’s recovery in your pocket, whenever you need it.

Together, these supports mean that leaving treatment at Reno doesn’t mean leaving New Dawn. Instead, it’s the beginning of a lifelong connection to a community that celebrates victories, helps navigate setbacks, and walks with you every step of the way.
