New Frontier to Receive $1 Million for Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Lean New Frontier during the 50th Anniversary celebration last year

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) announced this week that $1,000,000 in federal funding is heading to New Frontier Treatment Center to expand its mental and behavioral health care treatment capacity. This grant is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development grant program.

“I’m proud to have helped deliver this funding to rural Nevada to support Nevadans facing mental and behavioral health issues,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “Local organizations like NFTC play a vital role on the ground in getting people the help and resources they need, and I’ll continue to support their dedicated efforts.”

“Nevada, like our nation, faces a growing mental health crisis and the lack of access to care disproportionately affects those living in rural communities,” said Senator Rosen. “This funding that I helped secure will expand access to mental health treatment in Churchill County, and I’ll continue to secure more resources to strengthen mental health services across our state.”

“We are very excited about the proposed expansion project that has been made possible thanks to the USDA and Senator Cortez Masto,” said Lana K. Robards, Executive Director of New Frontier Treatment Center. “We will be able to add additional detox and residential beds and also expand our Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic behavioral health services.”

This funding will be used to expand residential treatment capacity and allow more Nevadans to access services like psychiatric and primary health treatment, medication management, and substance use treatment.
