About High Country Behavioral Health

If you’re struggling with an alcohol or substance addiction in Wyoming, High Country Behavioral Health (HCBH) in Evanston provides a wide array of behavioral health services, including treatment for alcohol and drug addictions. HCBH is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing affordable access to mental and behavioral health services to rural communities in Wyoming and Idaho.

One of their best policies is not to deny patients access because of an inability to pay. Though they do accept private insurance, cash, credit cards, Medicaid, and Medicare, they can also vary the fees a person must pay with a sliding fee scale that’s based on household income. They also provide good faith estimates of what a person’s treatment would cost before the treatment even begins, allowing patients to stay informed of their healthcare costs.

Offering Comprehensive Outpatient Care

At the HCBH center in Evanston, they offer two levels of outpatient care for people suffering from alcohol or drug addiction. Their outpatient care involves one to eight hours per week of individual and group therapy. In these sessions, their goals are to help patients identify the roots of their addictions and then equip them with tools and insights to either solve the underlying problems or deal more productively with these difficulties.

Their second level of outpatient care involves nine or more hours of therapy per week, with largely the same goals in mind. Patients can also benefit from medically assisted treatment, and HCBH also provides round the clock crisis prevention and intervention services.

A Considerable Wealth of Expertise

The HCBH organization is staffed by a significant number of mental health professionals, all with a diverse array of skills and expertise. Patients receiving treatment at HCBH, therefore, also have an opportunity to address the issues that contributed to or occurred because of the addiction. Some examples of the issues they might treat range from depression and anxiety to family problems.

They really are the best. They work with some very challenging illnesses with very limited resources and have always come though for me no matter what. People need to remember that mental illness are very hard to treat and they have always done everything and more to help me get though some very challenging times.

Accepted Insurance

High Country Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

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
Clients receiving care at an inpatient rehab are often seeking more intensive structure, support, and supervision than an outpatient program can provide. Clients temporarily live at the treatment center, engaging in multiple therapeutic sessions a day. Treatment typically involves extensive individual, group, and family counseling. Many facilities also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training to support sustained sobriety, and evidence-based holistic care, such as meditation and message, to alleviate stress and anxiety.
12-step icon12-Step
Clients engaged in 12 step programs receive ongoing and intensive peer support while cultivating spiritual, emotional, and psychological practices to facilitate recovery. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible both online and in most communities, is expected. Early in their recovery, participants select a sponsor to mentor them in their recovery. Religious affiliation is not required, but faith-based and other specialized formats are available.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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 Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a treatment approach that emphasizes the development of four skill sets: core mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. This group utilizes a manual and focuses on the development and use of practical daily skills through twenty-five (25) structured lessons. You will have weekly assignments to practice the skills and return and report to the group. Participants will be expected to do their homework assignments, but the nature of the assignments are such that they fit into your daily routine as they are skills that generalize to life. This is a research based program proven to be effective with most individuals who engage in the treatment.

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. Life can be a challenge and their Groups can give you the skills to learn to balance all of life’s demands. Groups are offered at different days and times throughout the year.

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.

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.

In family counseling, commonly referred to as family therapy, you and some or all of your family members will work with a therapist to examine your family’s dynamics, communication, and ability to solve problems. Your therapist will help you identify issues that contribute to conflict, which may include family rules, roles, parenting disagreements and behavioral patterns.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

I have been being treated for grief and separation anxiety of my wife of 37 years. I have been seeing Gabby. She has been so awesome. Easy to talk to, empathetic, and uplifting. Her counciling methods include coping methods that are effective and are practical and work. Her positive attitude is infectious and really helps. I would recommend High Country Behavioral health and Gabby to everyone that is struggling.

I was in full crisis, at my limit, and this clinic got me in, asap, and without any exaggeration, have saved my life. Everyone there was amazing and really care about their patients and are angels on earth. I still will be able to keep my job and pursuing my education, because they are so integrated with mental and medical health. Nobody else in uinta, Sweetwater or any other adjoining county came close to the comprehensive treatment plans they offer. I feel safe, a lot less hopeless, and grateful for how the clinic went above and beyond what anyone has ever done for me. I wish thank you was enough to show the positive impact you had on me today. I feel very optimistic about therapy and group therapy and continuing to heal. THANK YOU!!!

Nobody answers the phone. Family member has reached out time and time again with no help. People who call are looking for help and can't even get a response.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for your feedback, Sadie. We apologize that this was your loved ones experience. You are right, and we do try to answer every call as it comes in, but sometimes the phone traffic is heavier than what we can handle, so an automated option to leave a message is offered. Please encourage your family member to leave a message, so that we can return their call as soon as possible. Thank you again. Stay safe and well.

I have been able to pair up with High Country Behavioral Health when I have needed to ask for help with a personal behavior or life issue.  The staff there have been caring, supportive and helpful.  I feel comfortable asking for help when I need it from High Country because I know I won't be judged and will be treated fairly and respectfully.  Highly Recommended!
