The Nestled Recover Center is a boutique addiction treatment and recovery center in Las Vegas, NV.
At The Nestled Recovery, we whole-heartedly believe in the holistic model of wellness that addresses wellness as an eight-fold path. We address all 8 dimensions of wellness within our program. A holistic approach to addiction treats the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. We believe that treating the whole person requires an integrated approach, which is why we offer individualized treatment plans that utilize a combination of alternative therapies and psychotherapies. At The Nestled Recovery, we are trauma-informed & mindfulness-based. Trauma-informed care recognizes what has happened and how to help the person heal from it. It also strays from causing any further trauma to an individual during the healing process. Practicing mindfulness is a pillar to becoming well and recovering from substance use disorder treatment. If you are struggling with trauma, co-occurring disorders, behavioral issues, or addiction, being mindful and learning to interpret and address emotional triggers as they occur is important. Mindfulness-based care recognizes what has happened and teaches you how to process and react in real-time as you experience life and the healing process.

Mental health struggles are complex, and no single approach works for everyone. When care isn’t well-matched, people can feel misunderstood, mislabeled, or discouraged after trying therapy that didn’t quite help. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming when you’re already struggling.

Addiction Treatment Centers
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
