Southwest Counseling Service

About Southwest Counseling Service

Southwest Counseling Service is a sober living operator and community behavioral health provider based in Rock Springs, Wyoming, serving Sweetwater County and the southwest corner of the state. It is certified by the Wyoming Department of Health and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and it runs long-stay residential recovery programs alongside outpatient counseling and medication-assisted treatment.

The Rock Springs Sober Homes This Operator Runs

Its residential recovery programs sit at two addresses in Rock Springs:

• Therapeutic Community for Men, 795 Duran Drive, Rock Springs, a structured long-stay program for men
• Women and Children, 158 Washakie Drive, Rock Springs, residential recovery for women, including mothers who bring their children with them

What Makes This Recovery Housing Provider Unusual

The women's program was the first in Wyoming to let pregnant women and mothers receive addiction treatment while keeping their children with them. That decision reshaped what was possible for a whole category of women in the state, who until then had to choose between custody and care.

Recovery Support Beyond These Sober Houses

The organization provides housing services, recovery coaching, peer mentoring and employment counseling, plus discharge planning, naloxone and overdose education, and follow-up after discharge. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, military insurance, private insurance and self-payment, with sliding scale fees available.

Serving Rock Springs, Green River and Sweetwater County

Sweetwater County is the largest county in Wyoming by area and one of the emptiest, and Rock Springs is its commercial center even though Green River holds the county seat. This operator is the behavioral health provider of record for the region. For someone in Wamsutter, Farson or Superior, southwest Wyoming recovery housing effectively means this organization, and the next comparable option is in another county entirely.

Certification and These Wyoming Sober Homes

Wyoming certifies no recovery residences and has no NARR affiliate, so the credentials worth asking about belong to the operator. This one is certified by the state health department and CARF accredited. Program length, house rules and cost should be confirmed directly with intake.
