Wyoming Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab Centers Near Me for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Overdose rates for both illicit and prescription drugs are on the rise in Wyoming, with 96 reported prescription drug overdose deaths occurring between 2014 and 2015 compared to 19 in 2004-2005.¹

Within Wyoming, geographical location appears to play a significant role regarding drug use. For example, certain counties, such as Uinta, Fremont, and Natrona, exhibited high rates of drug-related deaths over the past decade, while some counties, such as Weston, did not report any drug-related deaths over the past 10 years.¹

Other measures for substance abuse and mental health issues show marginally higher rates than the national average.

• 5,000 (10.7%) Wyoming adolescents reported drinking alcohol within the past month in 2014-2015 (compared to the national average of 10.6%).²
• 31,000 (6.4%) Wyoming residents over age 12 met criteria for an alcohol use disorder within the past year in 2014-2015 (compared to the national average of 6.1%).²
• 3,261 Wyoming residents were enrolled in substance use treatment in 2015. This number was an increase from 2013 but a decrease from 2011, when 3,396 were enrolled.²
• Only 38,000 (44.5%) Wyoming adults with any mental illness received mental health treatment within the past year from 2011-2015 (which is higher than the national average of 42.9%).²
• Of those in substance abuse treatment, 18.7% were enrolled for a drug problem, 37.7% for an alcohol problem, and 43.6% for both drug and alcohol problems.²

The cost of substance abuse treatment ranges widely and is influenced by several factors, including:

• How long you plan to stay (e.g. 28 or 30 days, 60 days, 90 days).
• Whether you have a shared or private room.
• The program’s location.
• The amenities at the program.
• Whether the program takes your insurance and how much coverage you have.

Understandably, the prospect of paying in full for a rehab program can be nerve-wracking. For this reason, many facilities will offer financing options, and some will even adjust the cost based on what you can afford. The bottom line is that you may end up losing much more than the cost of rehab if you continue in active addiction.

The National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) indicates that in 2015 there were 59 treatment facilities in Wyoming. Out of these facilities, 36 were private non-profit, 8 were private for-profit, and 11 were local, county, or community government.³

All facilities offer treatment for both drug and alcohol abuse. Over 80% of the facilities offer outpatient services, while 27% offer residential non-hospital treatment. Only 5% of Wyoming recovery centers offer hospital inpatient treatment.³
