For almost four decades, Ridge House continues to be one of the leading organizations in Nevada providing a recovery-oriented system of care to individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. Through compassionate services and strategic programming, we empower our clients to become independent and productive community members.

The agency was started in 1982 by the Kairos prison ministry. Ridge House was initially a prison re-entry program to assist individuals to reintegrate back into the community. Over the years, our program has expanded to include referrals from the court system, attorneys, other treatment centers, self-referrals and many other sources. The agency accepts all forms of Medicaid, some private insurances, and receives grant funding for those with no resources.

Ridge House offers two American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) levels of care- residential 3.1 and outpatient level 1. Clients are adults, men and women, ages 18 to senior citizens. Our professionals work to assist individuals in dealing with a variety of substance and mental health disorders, and ensure each client is given the tools to succeed. Ridge House currently has 8 residential homes (7 for men and 1 for women) housing 59 individuals with one house specifically for Veterans.

Our work focuses on our clients, and their success impacts our entire community. By guiding our clients to self-sufficiency, we save the community a significant amount of money, time and resources; while breaking the cycle of poverty, addiction, and recidivism.
