About Willow Springs Center
Willow Springs Center is a residential psychiatric treatment center in Reno, Nevada serving children ages 6 to 11 and adolescents ages 12 to 17 who need mental health and behavioral support.
The facility offers 24 hour residential care, a partial hospitalization program and a specialized substance use support track called Ascent for teens with substance misuse alongside a primary mental health diagnosis. Families appreciate the on site accredited school and structured DBT programming that keeps education on track during treatment.
What programs are available?
Willow Springs Center provides residential psychiatric services with dormitory style living and 24 hour staffing plus a PHP for ages 8 to 17 that runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. while youth live at home. The Ascent track integrates dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and motivational enhancement therapy for patients who also struggle with substance use.
Who can get help here?
The center serves children ages 6 to 11 and teens ages 12 to 17 including those with histories of trauma, suicidal ideation and self harm, difficulty maintaining relationships and substance misuse. I think it's valuable to note that Willow Springs Center is LGBTQ+ affirming and offers specialized services for military families facing deployment, relocation or separation related stress.
Where is the center located?
The facility is in Reno at the base of the Sierra Mountains near Lake Tahoe and Reno Tahoe International Airport. I want to add that on campus features include a large gym, playground and outdoor amphitheater, courtyard and a "Challenge by Choice" ropes course for confidence building and problem solving activities.
Do they accept insurance?
Willow Springs Center is in network with most commercial insurance plans including TRICARE and Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare. Private pay and self pay options are also available; contact the center to verify your coverage.
Admissions staff are available 24/7 to answer questions and guide you through an initial assessment. The center can also provide a list of approved transportation vendors if families need help safely bringing their child to Reno.
Amenities
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Most programs that offer alcohol rehab in Nevada focus on three aspects of treatment. Participants receive professional therapy, learn new life skills, and develop a network of support that includes a rich community life. This combination provides a solid foundation for recovery and for relapse prevention.
When you enter drug rehab in Nevada, you receive professional assistance to remove drugs from your body and cease your body’s need for the substance. You learn coping strategies and receive support to prevent relapse and enjoy long-term sobriety.
A young adult program in Nevada helps participants overcome the challenges of this stage of life and re-enter life stronger, sober, and ready to make healthy choices. This treatment is ideal for teens, college students, and young adults starting careers and families.
Levels of Care
The process of slowly and safely removing substances from your system is called detox. This is typically the first step of drug rehab in Nevada. It involves 24/7 supervision and may include medication to help with withdrawal.
For around the clock care from a drug rehab in Nevada, choose an inpatient rehab program. At this level of treatment, you’ll live at the rehab facility and receive various forms of therapy, medication management, relapse prevention education, and nutritional counseling.
For many, Nevada outpatient rehab is the next step after successfully completing an inpatient program. This less-restrictive treatment involves living at home and returning to life responsibilities while attending several treatment sessions each week. This continues for weeks or months, until you are ready to move to the next level of care.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Nevada provide onsite treatment during the day, but don’t require you to live at the facility. PHPs are a good solution for those who have work or family obligations that would normally prevent them from committing to an inpatient addiction treatment program.
