MEDICAL SERVICES AND MEDICATION AT JUVENILE DETENTION
YOUTH MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Wellpath is the main medical provider for the juvenile detention center. They handle all regular and emergency medical care, as well as medication for youth in custody.
Wellpath and Clark County Juvenile Detention work together to make sure medications are ordered correctly, stored safely, and given properly. They follow all state and federal laws when managing medications.
To prevent mistakes, all medication must come through Wellpath. We cannot accept medication from outside the facility. In rare cases, a Wellpath provider may approve an exception for a specific medication.
Medication Transfer Process
1st Nurse receives medication information | 2nd Medication will be verified with the pharmacy/ medical provider | 3rd Wellpath medical provider reviews records and order medication as clinically indicated | 4th Medication order filled and administered to youth at the juvenile center |
*The process may take up to 48 hours to dispense the medication to youth.
Medication Label Requirements
Youth’s first and last name
Pharmacy information
Directions for use
Provider Name

Prescription date and fill date on the bottle
Two Options for Transferring Youth’s Medication Information:
Bring medication(s) to Jail Services (behind the Courthouse) at 707 W 13th Street. Let the front desk clerk know you have medication(s) for a juvenile. The nurse will be dispatched and will meet you at the lobby to verify the medication(s). These medications will then be sent home with you.
Jail Lobby hours are 8 am – 5 pm, closed for lunch 11:45 am - 12:45 pm. If you arrive during closed hrs., press the silver button to the right of the front door and let the deputy know you have medication information for a Juvenile. The deputy will buzz you into the building, and a nurse will meet you in the lobby.
Complete the Medication Verification form and submit it to a Juvenile Detention staff. The form is available in the detention center lobby or on the website under the forms section. The medications listed on this form will need to be verified, reviewed then ordered by a provider prior to medication being administered.
*Option 1 is the fastest way to process medication
Contact Wellpath on-duty nurse for any questions/concerns.
