About High Country Behavioral Health

High Country Behavioral Health is an outpatient behavioral health provider with an office in Lusk, Wyoming, one of several clinics they run across Wyoming and Idaho. Their work centers on helping people at a turning point learn to manage stress, regulate emotions, and build healthier relationships. They treat substance use disorders alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and chronic pain. For drug and alcohol concerns, they offer standard outpatient care of one to eight hours per week and intensive outpatient care of nine or more hours of individual and group treatment weekly.

Addiction care begins with an evaluation based on American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria, which helps a therapist match each person to the right level of treatment. From there, clients can receive individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, education and prevention services, and access to 24-hour crisis intervention. Therapists draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, Moral Reconation Therapy, and trauma-focused work to uncover what drives substance use and to build practical coping skills. Psychiatric prescribers manage medications and pair them with counseling, and the broader program also includes couples and family counseling, play therapy for young children, case management, and telehealth.
