The Gathering Place is a drug and alcohol rehab center for women in Sheridan, Wyoming. It helps women recover from substance use disorders (SUD) and alcohol addiction. They also support women with dual diagnoses, meaning those with both addiction and mental health challenges.
This facility is run by Volunteers of America, a non-profit and faith-based organization founded in 1896. They have been helping people in need for over a century.
When women arrive at The Gathering Place, they receive an assessment to create a treatment plan just for them. Each person gets a clinician to guide their care and a bed to stay in. The facility provides meals, toiletries, and some clothing during their stay.
The program includes individual therapy sessions each week, using methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help change harmful behaviors, and motivational interviewing (MI) to encourage personal growth. Group therapy sessions focus on topics like parenting and managing stress.
The Gathering Place also uses a 12-step model where clients support each other in recovery. It’s a place where women can heal and rebuild their lives in a safe, caring environment.
