Center Will Deliver Much-Needed Addiction Recovery Services
Las Vegas, Nevada (August 29, 2019) – In the past year, the Las Vegas Valley has lost more than 200 recovery center beds. At the same time, medical providers have noticed an increased need for inpatient recovery services. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that opioid abuse kills hundreds of Nevada residents every year.
The new Vance Johnson Recovery Center will work with community partners to bridge the gap by providing much-needed lifesaving rehabilitative care. Football star Vance Johnson is the center’s recovery ambassador. He’s the first NFL star to have a treatment center named after him. The three-time Superbowl player and former Denver Broncos wide receiver grappled with addiction himself. Five years ago, addiction led him to lose everything he had. He said, “It is my purpose and passion to inspire those who, like me, found themselves powerless, broken and looking for a breakthrough. Everyone deserves a second chance.”
The center individualizes every program depending on the patient’s needs, wants and beliefs. Veronica Scala, the Vance Johnson Recovery Center’s Director of Marketing said, “Our personally tailored approach is going to set a new standard in healthcare that is all about creating compassionate recovery plans focused on the individual’s needs.”
