Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Residential treatment is one of their most intensive level of treatment services for any adult or adolescent in need of 24/7 care and treatment in a state-of-the-art residential, comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients participating in their Intensive Outpatient Treatment can maintain daily life activities while also being involved in individual and group counseling/therapy services. IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. Services address issues including: eating disorders, depression, self harm and substance abuse disorders.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs serve clients who are medically stable and well advanced in their recovery journey, having already completed detox and/or intensive inpatient treatment. Drug rehab aftercare is designed to support clients in maintaining their sobriety as they return to their home, workplace, and community. Case managers and care teams play a pivotal role in designing a long-term care plan that meets clients' unique recovery needs and goals. Relapse prevention and peer coaching are common.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Services offered by drug intervention programs often include specialists to assist with a drug intervention in Wyoming. Drug interventions are designed to encourage individuals who are struggling with addiction to get the treatment necessary for recovery. Friends and family can partner with intervention services to host an intervention and suggest a solid treatment plan to the individual. These services can also provide follow-up care for both the individual and family members.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

In a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you'll receive intensive addiction treatment while being able to return home each day. PHP is a good fit for those with moderate to severe addictions and often serves as a step-down level of care. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 minimum hours a week and includes relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. Most insurance providers fully or partially cover PHP treatment.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

The safest way to rid your body of addictive drugs and/or alcohol is a medically assisted detox, which is typically held in an inpatient setting while under 24/7 medical supervision. Abruptly quitting alcohol and certain drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids) can cause dangerous side effects, so a team of medical professionals is tasked with keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the process. After your body is detoxed of all alcohol and drugs, you'll likely transition to an inpatient treatment or maintenance program for the next stage of your recovery.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

The programs offered at drug rehab in Wyoming address the underlying issues of addiction, with the goal being to get to the root of the problem. By learning to manage issues without substance use, you are empowered to live a healthy, drug-free life.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

nutritional-therapy iconNutritional Therapy

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Unlike talk therapy, experiential therapy in Wyoming involves action oriented techniques. It allows participants to process their emotions through creative expression and movement. This can be beneficial for those who struggle with talk therapy formats because it lets them express themselves in a different way.

Check icon Accreditations

I actually had a very positive experience with CWCC every time I went. The front desk staff are nice enough, but both therapists I had seen there were amazing. They both listened to me and worked with me to create a great plan for me. The nurse who prescribed and managed my medication was extremely nice and always listened to me and made sure I felt comfortable. Everyone I saw there, even the 2 ladies who did my intakes, were outstanding. I, personally, would highly recommend going there. The only reason why I can't continue there is because I moved out of state.

CWCC should be sued. If there is ever a class action lawsuit put out against these guys I would happily put my funds towards helping with that.Maybe we could start a petition to get CWCC closed down or maybe enough of us can get together to take CWCC down so they stop doing so much damage to the Casper Community.

Saw that CWCC is trying to raise their rating on Google because it's been at 2 stars for the past 5 years at least. So let me say that this place is so dangerous to mentally ill people.They do not take anything you say seriously, therapists don't view you as a person they view you as an adversary and there is a very high turnover rate so even if you do get a good therapist they won't stay for very long.There is a huge amount of malpractice present at CWCC and I've only witnessed a small portion of what I know must be a deeply rooted problem.After going to CWCC for over 6 years and tirelessly trying to get them to help me I came to the conclusion that I am simply never going to receive help from CWCC. CWCC exists to make you feel worse about yourself and drive you to a point where you're so self hating and confused you're afraid to even move. I had therapists tell me the world was a better place without me in it. I had therapists tell me they had it worse than me, and I had therapists use me as their therapist.I've never felt safe at CWCC and not a single person there ever took the time to earn my trust. To them, and I genuinely believe this, I was just a pest. Please, for your own safety do not be tricked by these people, they do not care about you and they will never change. Go literally anywhere else.

Do not work for central wyoming counseling center ever. They have given me only problems for almost a year and lied to me about paystubs for unemployment and lied about about bonuses and I had some vacation days I and Comp days not paid. I was a school based case manager. I worked in rural schools, I had an accident, totaling my car on the clock, March 2023.I had a workers comp claim and was off for a few weeks then worked from home but when I found out that I can't drive for a while, my boss wanted me to give my notice as soon as possible and not do a leave of absence. It would be 2 days from being 2 weeks and I and asked my boss about it not being 2 weeks, my boss promised I would get vacation and Comp time but I didn't, hr refused and I didn't get it. They have also refused my pay stubs since Nov, 2023

I have worked there for over a decade, only to be treated horribly, lied on and things to be brought up from the past, lied on only so my coworkers could cover up their mistakes. And all this was used in a write up on me.Also staying I was non compliant with my job duties. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go work there after the way I was treated , especially as long as I had been there. It was heartbreaking to leave but when treated like you don't matter...the job is done. Shame on everyone who lied and twisted things on me.

I haven't had my own experience at this facility. Although, I was going to use their services at one point but was advised from probation and parole that their programs haven't been very successful or helpful for a majority of their clients. I know some guys who are clients in the residential substance abuse treatment center right now. Who has told me about some unprofessional and unethical things that are happening there with the female staff. As far as having sexual relations with the men, meeting them outside the facility using their day passes, Giving out their personal numbers, sneaking things inside like Tabaco products, who knows what else giving special treatment to certain client's. This is a scary and unsettling thing for a person struggling with an addiction trying to make their life better and learn how to live sober. And also for their loved ones. These people are supposed to help keep them safe and help them be successful. Not take advantage. I will put the woman's name out there, Amanda R. This woman should be fired for putting vulnerable men at risk.

I have been seen at this facility for some time now. However when I finally caught COVID and reported it on my own volition I was told I had to have a negative result to be seen again. However when I asked which test they needed the front lady just kept repeating "a negative test" despite me explaining that depending on the type of test it could be close to a year, at least, to be negative.I know these aren't medical experts, but if they can't even tell me what kind of test I need to be seen, or understand their own policy, how can I trust these people to handle confidential information correctly?

Response from the owner1 year ago
Hi Terra, Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us. I apologize for the frustration and confusion you felt regarding your questions about our policy requiring negative COVID tests. We want to assure you that we take confidentiality extremely important at CWCC and we strive to be fully compliant with all rules and regulations. We absolutely want to see you again, and please call us at 307-237-9583 and schedule an appointment. For further clarification on our COVID policy, please request to speak with our knowledgeable nursing staff and they will be able to answer any questions you may have. We appreciate you sharing your experiences with us so that we can identify any shortfalls or gaps in our service. We will share your comments with the appropriate teams so that they're equipped to handle similar questions going forward.
