About High Country Behavioral Health

High Country Behavioral Health is a community mental health and addiction treatment provider with an office in Thermopolis, Wyoming, one of several locations they operate across Wyoming and Idaho. Their work centers on helping people at a crossroads learn to build healthy relationships, regulate emotions, and manage stress, and they treat substance use disorders alongside anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, abuse, and chronic pain. For drug and alcohol problems, care begins with an evaluation based on American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria, followed by placement in either standard outpatient treatment (1–8 hours of individual and group sessions per week) or intensive outpatient treatment (9 or more hours per week).

Addiction services combine individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, education and prevention, and access to 24-hour crisis intervention, with therapists focusing on the underlying causes of substance use and on practical coping skills for long-term sobriety. Masters-level licensed clinicians draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, Moral Reconation Therapy, and trauma-focused therapy, and they build each treatment plan collaboratively with the client. Psychiatric prescribers handle diagnosis and medication management, always paired with counseling, while couples counseling, family counseling, case management, telehealth, and play therapy for children ages three to eleven round out the care. For adults with treatment-resistant depression, they also offer Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray.
