DetoxAbout Wyoming Behavioral Institute
The Wyoming Behavioral Institute in Casper, Wyoming, has many programs which focus on both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs are unique in their approach and individualized for adults and children.
All of the mental health programs at WBI are designed to address crisis stabilization and long term management of complex mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. If you are in need of immediate treatment during an acute mental health crisis, the institute offers inpatient psychiatric care where you can spend time in a safe and structured environment while surrounded by medical professionals. This treatment consists of continuous observation, psychiatric examinations and both individual and group therapy. Their partial hospitalization program (PHP) serves individuals who need less intensive care but still require support on a daily basis. This program allows you to attend treatment during the day and return home in the evenings. Their mental health services include a team of psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and social workers who create an integrated recovery plan for each patient.
WBI offers curated programs for substance abuse along with detox services, inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy. The first step is generally a detox, which takes place under medical supervision and helps people to remove some of those long term toxins from their system. They then move on to inpatient rehab, where they engage in extensive therapy sessions with each patient. This therapy aims to uncover why they became addicted in the first place to provide a more well rounded foundation for recovery. WBI integrates 12 Steps, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and family therapy into their treatment.
WBI Recognizes the significance of co-occurring disorders, which occurs when a person has two or more diagnoses. Using an integrated approach to treat addiction and mental health concurrently, their treatment programs eliminate the need for patients to decide between treating their addictions or issues concerning their mental state.
WBI offers specialized treatment for adolescents, recognizing that they are a maturing human in both body and brain, not simply smaller adults. Their child and adolescent inpatient units work to stabilize individuals experiencing severe mental health or behavioral issues, providing tools for the patients and their families.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Wyoming can occur in various formats. Common types of CBT include dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and rational emotive behavior therapy. The main focus of each is to help participants change thought and behavior patterns.
Substance use disorder treatment in Wyoming may include dialectical behavior therapy. This evidence based approach seeks to give clients the tools they need to manage their emotions and make healthy changes in thinking and behavior. Treatment includes individual sessions, group skills sessions, and homework assignments.
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.
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.
Pathways/Trauma Informed Care is a treatment model for those who have experienced a traumatic life event, may struggle with substance abuse, and whose emotional and mental health have been affected by these experiences. Acute trauma is exposure to a one-time event. Complex trauma often occurs in the context of a child's early care giving system. Treatment of trauma is specialized care. This care focuses on building skills in six key areas.
For many couples, attending couples therapy in Wyoming is a powerful way to strengthen their relationship. It can be useful for improving communication, increasing intimacy, navigating addiction, or rebuilding trust. Sessions typically last about 12 weeks.
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.
