Free Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers In Wyoming

WY Substance Abuse Facts

Wyoming, like the rest of the United States, struggles with alcohol and drugs and the consequences of substance abuse and addiction. Consider the following statistics:

• Alcohol abuse and dependence in Wyoming consistently exceeded that of the national average between 2011 and 2015.
• Rates of illicit drug abuse in Wyoming were only slightly lower than the national average between 2011 and 2015, lingering between 2.2 and 2.3% each year.
• Unfortunately, despite high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, these individuals are rarely seeking treatment. In 2014, nearly 90% of those needing treatment for alcoholism and 85% of those needing it for illicit drug abuse did not receive it.
• Misuse of painkillers is also a serious issue in Wyoming, and a significant portion of the state’s youth have been affected. Between 2013 and 2014, roughly 2,000 people between the ages of 12 and 17, or 4.2% of all state adolescents, reported nonmedical use of opioid painkillers in the year prior to surveying.
• Many WY health and law enforcement personnel have expressed concern that prescription drug abuse is Wyoming’s fastest-growing drug problem and is a significant contributor to the growing heroin problem in the state.

If you’re one of the many Wyoming residents struggling with drug abuse and addiction, you don’t have to be a statistic. The right treatment can give you hope and be your first step toward a new life without drugs and alcohol.

Getting Addiction Treatment Help

When you need help, it can be difficult to know where to start looking. You can begin by:

• Asking for referrals from people who’ve been through treatment.
• Scrolling through our directory for listings for Wyoming rehabs and treatment programs.
• Calling your insurance company to discuss covered options for care.

If you’re ready to speak to someone about getting into a program, you can call us at any time to have a confidential conversation with one of our treatment support specialists.

Where Else Can I Find Help?

If you don’t have insurance or you don’t think you can afford the type of treatment you want, don’t give up; there are options. Some programs may offer to help set up a payment plan so that you can get into treatment right away and make payments on a set schedule. You may also be able to find centers that charge you on a sliding scale. This simply means they’ll set the price according to what you can afford to pay. You may also qualify to enter a state-funded program at low or no cost.

Remember, the price you’ll end up paying for not getting help will be far higher than the price of entering a program.
