About 17% of Nevada adults report binge drinking in the past month, per CDC BRFSS data — with higher rates concentrated in the Las Vegas metro.
Heavy drinking is one of the most treatable conditions in primary care — and one of the least treated. Roughly 1 in 7 adults nationally meets criteria for alcohol use disorder at some point, yet fewer than 1 in 10 ever receive medication for it. Naltrexone, an FDA-approved opioid antagonist used for AUD since 1994, is one of the most effective tools we have. It reduces cravings and the rewarding effect of alcohol — so drinking feels less compulsive, often within weeks.
If you live in Nevada and have wondered whether your drinking has become a problem, you don't need to wait until it's a crisis. You don't need to call yourself an alcoholic. You don't need to commit to lifelong sobriety to start. A 30-minute video visit is enough to get evaluated and, if appropriate, get a prescription sent to your local pharmacy this week.

Common questions — Nevada edition
Is naltrexone right for someone in a service industry job in Vegas where drinking is constant?
Yes — naltrexone is specifically helpful for environments with high alcohol exposure. It blunts the rewarding effect of alcohol, so social pressure to drink does not lead to the same loss of control. Many of our Nevada patients work in hospitality and find it makes their work environment manageable.
Do I have to stop drinking before starting naltrexone?
No. Naltrexone can be started while you're still drinking. Many patients reduce gradually as the medication takes effect. The exception: if you're physically dependent (severe daily drinking, withdrawal symptoms), you may need a brief medical taper first — your provider will assess this at your consult.
How much does this cost in Nevada?
Cash-pay from $149/month for the provider visit. The medication itself (generic naltrexone) typically runs $30–$60/month at most Nevada pharmacies — sometimes covered fully by insurance. Most major insurance accepted: Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Oscar, Ambetter, Medicare, Tricare, Molina.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Care is protected by HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 — the federal law that provides extra confidentiality protections specifically for substance use disorder treatment records. Your treatment information cannot be shared without your explicit written consent. Video visits are encrypted end-to-end.
Ready when you are.
One short conversation can change your relationship with alcohol. Same-week appointments typical.
