About STEP2
STEP2 is a nonprofit rehab center in Reno, Nevada that opened in 1986 and treatment is paid for with Medicaid, TRICARE, private health insurance, cash or federal and other public funding for substance use programs.
Women are the only people admitted including mothers and expectant mothers. I like that walk ins are welcome at this center.
The focus is on helping you recover from substance use through proven therapy and support that prepares you for ongoing sobriety.
Paying for Treatment in Reno
At STEP2, Medicaid is accepted and it's the coverage the state and federal government share for people with low incomes.
TRICARE is also accepted and self pay is an option if you don't have insurance. The residential program runs two to three months with up to 30 hours of therapy a week at the Reno campus.
I noticed that their optional outpatient program provides support past the first phases of treatment.
A client can opt into the program's transitional housing, where she is reunited with her children while support and therapy continue.
