The Gathering Place – Volunteers of America - Addiction Treatment Services

About The Gathering Place – Volunteers of America – Sheridan

The Gathering Place is a CARF-accredited residential treatment program for women including those who have dependent children. It’s located in Sheridan, Wyoming and is run by Volunteers of America Northern Rockies which is a faith-based nonprofit organization.

Here, women can get access to detox services and aftercare support. They also offer programs tailored to the LBGTQ+ community.

The Gathering Place accepts both Medicaid and Medicare as well as VA benefits and Tricare and many private health plans. For clients who are paying for care out of pocket, staff will assess your eligibility to see if you qualify for a sliding fee scale discount.

You can get inpatient medical detox here to safely get you through the withdrawal period. Each day has a structured schedule in a home-like environment with personal privacy to ensure your comfort. They also run community meetings so that you get the peer support you need.

What I appreciate most about The Gathering Place is that they allow women to bring their dependent children with them to treatment. Their program is designed for parenting moms and gives them parenting support and help with family dynamics. They also specialize in addressing the special needs of pregnant and postpartum women.

I like that they really encourage family participation through weekly family days as well.

When women leave The Gathering Place, they continue to get care planning and post-treatment aftercare.

Staff help you with GED prep and holistic services that will support your recovery. These may include assistance with housing or employment, counseling and case management.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
