When drinking has taken over someone you love, a structured alcohol intervention gives your Nevada family one clear, calm plan instead of another argument.
An alcohol intervention is a planned conversation, led by a professional interventionist, in which a family asks someone who drinks too much to accept treatment that day. We travel to families throughout Nevada, from Las Vegas and Reno to smaller towns, with treatment and sober transport arranged in advance. Not sure it is time? Read the signs a loved one needs an intervention.
Court-ordered addiction treatment. No addiction-specific process a family can start.
Drinking and the law. Under NRS 484C.350, a first-time DUI offender with a blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.16 or more must undergo a required evaluation (source).
State agency. Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, Bureau of Behavioral Health Wellness and Prevention.
Emergency. Call 911 if a loved one is in immediate danger. Call or text 988 for an emotional crisis.
Stopping heavy daily drinking suddenly can cause seizures or delirium tremens, so every plan includes medically managed withdrawal. If your loved one has a seizure, hallucinations or severe confusion while stopping, call 911.
Our treatment navigation takes no payment from treatment centers, in Nevada or out of state.
Drinking is often one part of a wider picture. Nevada recorded 1,237 drug overdose deaths in 2024, an age-adjusted rate of 35.9 per 100,000, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (source).
Not directly. Nevada has no substance use commitment law that a family can start on its own. A planned, professionally led intervention is the most reliable route to treatment.
Nevada has no civil process for a family member to petition a court for involuntary substance use treatment. Police may place an intoxicated person in civil protective custody, held no more than 48 hours against their will (NRS 458.270). (source) Confirm the current rules with a Nevada attorney before relying on them.
