About Southwest Counseling Service – College Drive
Southwest Counseling Service in Rock Springs, Wyoming provides comprehensive services for those seeking treatment for substance use disorder (SUD). Individual therapy, intensive group therapy and residential programs are available forms of treatment here.
Using the American Society of Addiction Medicine’s patient placement criteria and the Addictions Severity Index, they begin by offering comprehensive drug and alcohol evaluations. This evaluation helps them determine the best course of action for your needs.
One of the best ways to achieve long-term recovery is through their residential program. Their Therapeutic Community is a residential program that serves people with severe substance use disorders and associated criminal behaviors. It lasts four to six months. It is a successful substitute for incarceration and provides a highly structured environment.
As the first program in Wyoming to offer intensive residential treatment for mothers with substance use disorders and pregnant women, their Women’s Addiction Program enables you to continue your parental duties while getting the support you require. Children can join their moms in the program creating a setting that improves life and parenting skills.
Residential treatment has many advantages. You can concentrate on your recovery because you will receive integrated care in a secure setting away from negative influences. The therapeutic community helps you reestablish your life after treatment by promoting daily structure and peer support. Additionally, after treatment, Continuing Care groups offer continued support and reinforce your recovery plan.
There are intensive outpatient programs and DUI classes available for those who need more education. Both use the Prime for Life program which aims to change high-risk behaviors related to drug and alcohol use by altering motivations, attitudes and beliefs. A current addiction severity index, evaluation and legal documentation are necessary to be eligible for these programs.
They accept Medicare, Medicaid and the majority of insurance plans. A sliding fee schedule is also offered for those who qualify. They meet national behavioral health standards and are certified by the State of Wyoming’s Behavioral Health Division. They are CARF accredited in 27 areas and are the first in the state to be named a Certified Community Behavioral Health Center.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.
Aftercare Support
Therapeutic Community Aftercare is an ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) Level I group for individuals who have completed treatment. The group meets three hours a week and is designed to offer support for the challenges faced in early recovery and focuses on using recovery tools acquired in treatment. The group also offers relapse prevention skills, identifying life stressors, development of healthy social networking, promotes self-help meeting and sponsorship. The Continuing Care group is provided to reinforce the treatment an individual has recently completed. It is an American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level I treatment. The group helps individuals begin living out their recovery plans using tools they have gained.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug 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.
Dual 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 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.
Opioid 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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive 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.
Couples 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.
Eating Disorder Treatment
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). The Eating Disorder Group helps women diagnosed with an eating disorder to enhance self-esteem and provide structure for healthy eating habits.
Family 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.
Group Therapy
t The Bridges Program provides group therapy that is designed to help individuals optimize their personal and social abilities in order to function successfully in the community. Groups focus on different behavior, emotional, cognitive and recovery skills. Individuals choose to attend the groups that best fit their needs.
Individual 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. They provide different types of therapy that meet the patient needs.
Life 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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Trauma 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.
