They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. While that’s a good-and-fun slogan, substance abuse rates are absurdly high in the gambling capital of the world. Perhaps this lends itself to the fact that 8.1% of Las Vegas area resident adults suffer a major depressive episode every year on average. Gambling and substance abuse are intricately tied to mental health disorders.
Here are three completely free and confidential resources that any Las Vegas resident can and should utilize. Professionally trained mental health specialists are standing by. Call today and explore your options.

The Mental Health Hotline (MHH) offers free, confidential, around-the-clock assistance with any mental health issue whatsoever. Call 866-903-3787 anytime to reach a trained professional who can offer guidance, counseling, and more resources if need be. Give us a call now, or feel free to browse our website, which is loaded with helpful information and external links.
