Las Vegas is a city of extremes. Behind the neon and the tourism economy, thousands of residents battle addiction and homelessness with very few places to turn. Vegas Stronger exists to change that equation — and they are doing it differently than anyone else in the valley.
Who They Are
Vegas Stronger is a nonprofit behavioral healthcare organization located at 916 N. Main Street in downtown Las Vegas. They deliver compassionate, evidence-based treatment to some of the most underserved people in the valley. Their programs span the full continuum: medication-assisted treatment (MAT), partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient care, and an early release program that gives incarcerated individuals a path to treatment instead of continued incarceration.
What Sets Them Apart
Vegas Stronger operates with a 13 Essential Elements framework that covers everything from trauma-informed care and nutrition to harm reduction and long-term recovery support. They run active street and shelter intervention programs — their outreach teams go directly to where people are living, not waiting for them to walk through a clinic door. They also provide case management and housing support, understanding that recovery is nearly impossible without a stable place to sleep.
Their dual diagnosis treatment addresses addiction and mental health together — anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They offer services in Spanish through their Vegas Mas Fuerte program, serving the Latino community that is often overlooked by English-only providers. They publish annual outcomes reports publicly, holding themselves accountable to the community they serve.
Who They Serve and How to Reach Them
Vegas Stronger serves adults experiencing substance use disorders and homelessness in the Las Vegas valley, with specialized programs for Spanish-speaking individuals and people exiting the criminal justice system.
