1. Money received by the Division pursuant to NRS 369.174 must be used to increase services for the prevention of alcohol or other substance use disorders and for the detoxification and rehabilitation of persons with an alcohol or other substance use disorder. In allocating the money for the increase of services, the Division shall give priority to:
(a) The areas where there exists a shortage of services for the treatment of alcohol use disorders. The Division shall determine the areas of shortage on the basis of data available from state and local agencies, data contained in the comprehensive state plan for programs for alcohol or other substance use disorders, and other appropriate data.
(b) The needs of counties to provide:
(1) Civil protective custody, pursuant to NRS 458.270, for persons who are found in public places while under the influence of alcohol; and
(2) Secure detoxification units or other appropriate facilities for persons who are arrested or taken into custody while under the influence of a controlled substance.
(c) Programs for alcohol or other substance use disorders that are primarily directed toward the prevention of such disorders.
2. As used in this section, “secure detoxification unit” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 458.175.
