Where change happens one life at a time
For much of the last century, drug, alcohol, and gambling addictions were viewed as personal and moral failings rather than the result of a disease that alters both biology and behavior and is dependent on complex cultural, social, and genetic variables. While the initial path to addiction is often voluntary, over time an individual’s ability to choose becomes so compromised that their addiction takes over virtually every aspect of their lives. We now know that treating the disease of addiction takes much more than simply good intentions and a strong will. Addiction is, in spite of its complexity, a treatable disease and that treatment must be as multifaceted as the disease itself.
The average annual income of Bristlecone clients is less than $10,000 per year, making access to treatment virtually impossible without assistance. Nevada’s uninsured rate is 14%, with some areas being as high as 23% of individuals without health insurance. The average cost per day for in-patient treatment is $150, the average cost of outpatient treatment is $145 per week. Bristlecone relies on community funds to ensure treatment of clients who are uninsured and financially unable to pay for treatment and clients seeking treatment can access services immediately while awaiting insurance approval to prevent gaps in services.
We also rely on the generosity of the community to help us cover unexpected costs such as repairing the facility's roof that is starting to leak, sending our staff to trainings so we can provide the most comprehensive and successful treatment possible, an exterminator for sudden bed bugs, and specific work attire for clients re-entering the workforce.
