Reno Community Triage Center
Purpose
Serving the Northern Nevada residents since 2008, the Community Triage Center in Reno provides safe,
medically-supervised detoxification services to those seeking treatment for substance abuse and crisis
stabilization for mental health issues. WestCare provides triage services and early intervention to those
in both populations. This program’s philosophy is a client-centered approach where the team including
Nursing, Case Management, Social Work and Psychiatry, under the guidance of the Medical Director,
works with the client to stabilize their condition. Working with local agencies to develop individual
discharge plans begins on day one so that they have a chance at more sustainable sobriety and
long-term recovery.
Services and Scope
Performing the role of triage, the staff evaluates the potential client’s condition and disposition. A
medical clearance and screening is performed to identify the needs of the client including their medical
and mental status. Individuals are monitored 24-hours a day by trained medical staff and are offered
both medical and social interventions to support them through their detoxification and/or crisis. While
in the facility, the staff evaluates the clients’ needs for referral or follow-up with community resources to
assist them in maintaining their level of functioning after discharge.
Funding Source(s)
WestCare of Reno is funded by Renown Health Systems, Prime Health System, Universal Health System
Mental Health, Carson-Tahoe Behavioral Health, the City of Reno, SAPTA (Substance Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Agency), US Parole and Probation, and Washoe County. Crisis intervention services are
offered free of charge to the community. Homeless individuals and referrals from the local emergency
responders, such as local fire, police, sheriff and REMSA are also treated without charge to the individual.
A sliding-fee scale may be imposed on those who have the ability to pay. Private-party and third-party
payments are also accepted.
