USDA Rural Development Nevada Celebrates Expansion of New Frontier Treatment Center in Fallon

FALLON, Nev., January 13, 2026 - U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Nevada State Director Alida Ceballos represented the agency at the grand re-opening of the New Frontier Treatment Center (NFTC) in Fallon, Nevada. This project expands the residential treatment capacity from 28 to 42 beds, adding 10,631 square feet to the facility. The development also includes a new women's residence, renovations to the men's wing to ensure separation of the sexes, expanded counselors' offices, improvements to the kitchen and food storage, additional group therapy rooms, and a new security system. With these enhancements, NFTC can now accommodate more patients, addressing the growing needs of the community.

USDA Rural Development fully funded this project, providing $3.7 million in Community Facilities loan and grant funding to complete this important project. The expansion of NFTC will drastically expand available mental health services in rural Nevada.

"USDA Rural Development is proud to partner with New Frontier Treatment Center and the City of Fallon and see this project, which expands investments in rural health services and providers, come to fruition," said Ceballos. "Rural Health Transformation is a key plank of the One Big Beautiful Bill championed by President Trump, and partners like New Frontier are on the front lines of delivering improved health services in rural Nevada. In Nevada, we are blessed to have support across the local, state, and federal spectrum for these key investments in rural health transformation pioneered by President Trump and Secretary Rollins."

Additional supporters and speakers of NFTC's opening ceremonies were Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony, Assemblyman Greg Koenig, Fallon Mayor Ken Tedford, representatives from the offices of Senator Cortez Masto, Senator Rosen, and Congressman Mark Amodei, Shari Davis from the Governor's Office of Economic Development, Courtney Welch of the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, the Churchill County Board of Commissioners, and community leaders from across Northern Nevada.
