Addiction treatment marketing rules in Nevada

Every Nevada scan also runs the always-on federal layer: 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality and FTC endorsement rules in addic, Platform certification requirements for addiction treatment adve, EKRA referral remuneration in marketing copy, FTC deceptive health claims and endorsements, TCPA consent and revocation in calls and texts. A ruleset counts toward a clean pass only while it is published, matches its content hash, and its review clock is fresh, which is why the date above is load-bearing.

The claim types Nevada law puts off-limits in treatment marketing. Each is compiled from the cited section; the scanner reads your copy for them, and the patterns stay on the server.

• High riskPromises of cure or guarantees of treatment success for substance use disorder.

  A promise of cure or a guarantee of treatment success for substance use disorder is a false or misleading statement about the services offered, prohibited by NRS 458.112(1)(a). The prohibition binds the treatment provider and the person providing advertising or marketing services on its behalf alike. A violation is a misdemeanor (NRS 458.112(3)).

  NRS 458.112(1)(a); 458.112(3)

• High riskOffers of free or covered travel, airfare, lodging, or scholarship beds as an inducement to enter treatment.

  18 U.S.C. 220(a)(2) (EKRA) makes it an offense to knowingly and willfully offer or pay remuneration, directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce a referral to a recovery home, clinical treatment facility or laboratory. Free or covered travel, airfare, lodging or a scholarship bed advertised to a prospective patient is remuneration in kind offered to induce that referral, and EKRA applies in Nevada. NRS 458.112(1)(c) reaches the other side of the same arrangement, soliciting or receiving a commission, benefit, rebate or kickback in return for a referral, and 458.112(3) sets the penalty. The Nevada section alone was cited here until 2026-07-29, which did not reach the OFFERING side this rule reads in a page of copy.

  18 U.S.C. 220(a)(2) (EKRA; knowingly and willfully offering or paying remuneration, in cash or in kind, to induce a referral to a recovery home, clinical treatment facility or laboratory), which applies in Nevada and reaches the OFFERING side that NRS 458.112(1)(c) does not; NRS 458.112(1)(c) and 458.112(3) reach the referral-fee arrangement behind the offer

• FlagA directory, helpline, or placement service describing itself as independent, unbiased, or neutral in copy that routes callers to treatment providers.

  Copy describing a directory, helpline, or placement service as independent, unbiased, or neutral while it is in fact steering to a provider that pays for placement is a false or misleading statement about the service under NRS 458.112(1)(a), and where it appears on a website it is also false information posted on an Internet website under (1)(b). It also defeats the clear disclosure that (1)(d) requires of any call-center or web-based lead arrangement. A violation is a misdemeanor (NRS 458.112(3)).

  NRS 458.112(1)(a), (1)(b), (1)(d); 458.112(3)

The exposure Nevada attaches to a marketing violation, by tier. Exact amounts and elements live in the cited statute.

• CriminalPatient-brokering or referral-payment conduct can carry criminal exposure. The tier is in the cited statute.

What the scanner does with two versions of the same idea. The flagged line is rendered the way Pre-Trip renders a finding; the clean line is a pass.
