Supporting Your Student’s Recovery & College Success

A Parent’s Guide to Peace of Mind at the University of Nevada, Reno and Truckee Meadows Community College

As a parent, watching your child head off to college is a milestone filled with pride—but when your student is navigating recovery or struggling with substance use, it also comes with immense anxiety. The college environment presents unique pressures, but your child does not have to choose between their education and their sobriety.

At ONE Counseling & Associates, we bridge the gap between academic life and lasting wellness. Located in a discreet, luxury outpatient setting in Downtown Reno, we offer parents a partnership rooted in professional accountability, clinical expertise, and deep compassion. We are here to help your student reclaim their life, protect their future, and thrive at school.

Get Started

Minutes from Campus, Steps Toward Recovery
Located just 5 minutes from the UNR campus, Midtown, and the Riverwalk District, our downtown office is within easy walking distance or a quick transit ride for students. We fit seamlessly into their academic schedule so help is always within reach.

Structured Accountability: The College Student Recovery Program

College freedom can be overwhelming for a student trying to maintain or find sobriety. Our structured accountability program is specifically designed to provide the guardrails they need to stay on track without stripping away their independence.

For $495 per month, our comprehensive College Student Recovery Program builds a daily and weekly routine of safety around your child:

  • Daily Breathalyzer Monitoring: Keeping choices intentional and transparent every single day.

  • Weekly Drug Testing: Providing objective data and a healthy "reason to say no" when facing peer pressure on campus.

  • Professional Guidance: Regular touchpoints that ensure your student remains actively engaged in their own wellness plan.

Real Accountability You Can Trust
With daily breathalyzer monitoring and weekly drug testing, we provide the objective structure students need to combat peer pressure—giving you measurable peace of mind.

Comprehensive Clinical Support for Struggling Students

Substance use rarely exists in a vacuum. Often, college students turn to substances to cope with overwhelming academic stress, anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Our center provides the high-level mental health therapy and addiction counseling required to treat the root causes of their struggles.

Your student will have access to premier local experts, including:

  • Weekly One-on-One Addiction Counseling: Dedicated sessions with a licensed CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor) to build personalized relapse prevention tools.

  • Individual Mental Health Therapy: Specialized, evidence-based clinical therapy with Susan Chappell, LCSW, focusing on anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional regulation.

Expert Mental Health & Addiction Care
We address the root causes of substance use through weekly one-on-one addiction counseling and specialized clinical therapy tailored to the unique pressures of university life.

A Non-Judgmental, Luxury Safe Space

We understand that shame is the enemy of recovery. Your student will not be treated like a case number or a disciplinary problem here. Our luxury outpatient behavioral health center offers a welcoming, sophisticated, and entirely confidential environment where students feel respected and heard.

We provide a safe space where your child can be completely honest about their challenges, setbacks, and triumphs without fear of judgment.

A Safe, Dignified Environment for Healing
Shame stops recovery; compassion restarts it. Our luxury downtown clinic provides a non-judgmental, entirely confidential safe space where your student is treated with the dignity they deserve.

Connection to Sober Living Supports & Community

Recovery cannot happen in isolation. Beyond our clinical walls, ONE Counseling & Associates helps students integrate into Reno’s broader recovery community. We actively help students connect with:

  • Local Sober Living Resources: Navigating stable, substance-free housing options near campus.

  • On-Campus & Local Support Groups: Introducing them to peers who share their commitment to a vibrant, sober college experience.

Building a Life Beyond the Substance
From connecting students to local sober living resources to anchoring them in Reno's supportive recovery community, we help your child build a fulfilling, sober lifestyle.
