LAS VEGAS, April 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 100 people
including city officials and local dignitaries gathered on
Thursday, April 6, for a special
ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate Resolutions Las Vegas'
ongoing commitment to those in the throes of addiction and
long-term recovery. The gender-specific supportive living facility,
located in the heart of downtown Las
Vegas, provides men in recovery with a safe space and
community to turn to during a critical period in their life.
Resolutions provides a hotel-like setting with structured
schedules for outpatient services and allows clients to live
with peers as they share a common focus on their recovery. Adults
struggling from addiction and co-occurring disorders can benefit
from this interim environment as they transition from residential
treatment to lower levels of care.
"We've invested more than $5
million to buy and transform this former hotel and
restaurant into a first-class supportive living facility that
individuals in recovery and all Las Vegans can be proud of," said
David Marlon, Regional Vice
President of Nevada for American
Addiction Centers. "With nearly 15 cases of drug overdoses called
in daily, we felt it was our duty as leaders in addiction treatment
to invest in quality care for those struggling in Las Vegas and beyond."
The facility extends the level of continued care offered by
American Addiction Centers (AAC) in the Las Vegas Valley which also
operates Desert Hope Treatment Center and Solutions Recovery.
Resolutions Las Vegas provides a
step-down living environment for residential treatment program
graduates of Desert Hope and Solutions Recovery. Both facilities
offer medical detox, residential treatment, a partial
hospitalization program, and an intensive outpatient program.
Clients also have the option to remain living at the facility once
their treatment is complete.
David Marlon, Vice President of
Nevada for AAC, Ambrozino Storr,
CEO of Desert Hope Treatment Center, James
Payne, Resolutions Operations Manager, and Resolutions
alumni shared heartfelt speeches about the community need for
addiction treatment, AAC's continuum of care and testimonials.
Certifications and commendations were also provided by the offices
of Mayor Carolyn Goodman, Senator
Dean Heller, Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto, and Congresswoman
Dina Titus.
"Supportive housing is crucial for those in early recovery as it
is a time when they are extremely vulnerable and in need of
stability," said James Payne,
Operations Manager for Resolutions Las Vegas. "Everyday I see
firsthand how Resolutions is truly transforming lives and helping
individuals lead a new life in recovery. I'm honored to be on the
frontlines of it all."
