Oldest Nonprofit Clinic in Las Vegas

Founded in 1971, Bridge Counseling Associates is the oldest nonprofit behavioral health clinic in Southern Nevada. As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), it combines a mission of compassion and hope with evidence-based care, helping people build effective lives through counseling, psychiatric support, and recovery-focused programs.

Outpatient Care With 24/7 Crisis Response

Bridge offers outpatient and intensive outpatient programming (IOP) tailored for individuals and families. Crisis services are available day and night, including weekends and holidays, with walk-in, onsite, and mobile response options. Each person begins with a comprehensive assessment to guide treatment goals.

Specialized Care for Co-Occurring Needs

The clinic treats substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders, with focused programs for trauma, PTSD, gambling addiction, anger, and suicidality. Services include individual, group, and family therapy, along with prevention groups and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Psychiatric and nurse practitioner services are available for medication management. While medications for addiction treatment are not provided onsite, the clinic supports individuals already receiving them elsewhere.

Community Support and Access

Bridge serves children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Programs include family therapy, parenting groups, and priority access for pregnant women. The clinic partners with courts, schools, physicians, and community agencies to provide court-ordered treatment, DUI programs, and coordination with probation services. Additional supports include housing resources, peer mentoring, psychosocial rehabilitation, illness management, and telehealth. Language access covers Spanish, sign language for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and other languages, making care available to a wider community. Smoking and vaping are permitted only in designated areas.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
