About Desert Hope
Desert Hope operates a full-service medical detox center in Las Vegas, Nevada, providing medically supervised withdrawal management for adults struggling with substance use disorders. Located on South Eastern Avenue, this Joint Commission-accredited facility offers 24/7 clinical supervision under the direction of Medical Director Dr. Westbrook Kaplan, MD, ensuring safe detox protocols for alcohol, opioids, and other substances.
The center’s medical detox program serves as the foundation for comprehensive treatment, followed by partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programs. Desert Hope incorporates medication-assisted treatment into their withdrawal management protocols, addressing both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions including PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Their detox programs utilize FDA-approved medications to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
Treatment approaches combine cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-informed care methodologies. Clinical Director Ariann Chelli, LCSW, oversees therapeutic programming that includes relapse prevention, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness training. The facility maintains specialized protocols for complex withdrawal cases requiring extended medical supervision.
Desert Hope serves veterans, first responders, court-ordered individuals, and adults with dual diagnosis conditions. Their Psycharmor Veteran Ready certification and TRICARE acceptance demonstrate commitment to military populations. With same-day admissions available and acceptance of major insurance including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, and Medicaid, the center provides immediate access to medically supervised detox for Las Vegas residents and surrounding Clark County communities.
