Fremont Counseling Service

Fremont Counseling Service, located at 1110 Major Avenue, Riverton, WY 82501, is a long-established, nonprofit community mental health and substance use treatment center serving Fremont County and surrounding areas in Wyoming. Operating since 1959, the organization provides high-quality, accessible outpatient services for individuals of all ages dealing with mental health disorders and substance use disorders (SUD), including alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and other drugs, often with co-occurring conditions (dual diagnosis). The Riverton office, alongside the main Lander location, offers a welcoming, non-judgmental environment focused on enhancing lives through progress in treatment and enriching communities through recovery.

The center delivers a range of evidence-based outpatient programs tailored to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Services include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management (including for co-occurring mental health needs), case management, crisis intervention, and specialized addiction recovery support. For substance use, offerings encompass basic outpatient groups, intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) programming, and integrated care for those with dual diagnosis. Therapies draw from modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, anger management, contingency management, trauma-related counseling, and rational emotive behavioral therapy.

Fremont Counseling Service emphasizes a holistic, recovery-oriented approach that views addiction and mental health challenges as treatable conditions. The organization accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, military insurance (TRICARE), sliding fee scales, and self-pay, with staff assisting on eligibility and coverage to reduce barriers. It holds accreditations from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and state licensing, reflecting commitment to quality and ethical standards.

As a cornerstone of behavioral health in Fremont County for over six decades, Fremont Counseling Service has helped thousands progress toward recovery, manage mental health symptoms, and build healthier lives through compassionate, community-focused care in the Riverton and Lander areas.
