Recovery Support & Telephone Recovery Support
What does Recover Wyoming do?
Recover Wyoming provides support to people seeking long-term recovery from addiction, and supports their family and friends.
Reflections on Two Decades of Recovery Advocacy
These forms of support include:
Recovery Coaching
Recovery Coaches:
- Promote recovery
- Help recoverees remove barriers to long-term recovery
- Encourage hope, optimism, and healthy living
They are not:
- A sponsor
- A counselor
- A nurse/doctor
- A clergy person
A Recovery Coach is anyone interested in promoting recovery by serving as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking long-term recovery or their family members.
Referrals to Existing Community Services
Staff and volunteers provide referrals and help demystify community and state services so that recoverees can get the help they need.
Meetings
Bridges to Recovery are new recovery meetings which honor all pathways to recovery. Meetings are facilitated by RW staff and volunteers.

What does Recover Wyoming NOT do?
We do not provide treatment, counseling or medication. We are not a twelve-step or faith-based program. We acknowledge that these services and programs are often crucial to recovery from addiction, however, and inform our recoverees of their availability.
Telephone Recovery Support
Recover Wyoming, has launched a new Telephone Recovery Support (TRS) program beginning April 1st. TRS is an innovative peer-to-peer support service which places calls to individuals who are in recovery, or seeking recovery, from substance use disorder and/or mental health diagnoses.
Staff and trained volunteers who are in long-term recovery themselves, make weekly calls to "check in" on TRS participants. Those individuals are offered support, encouragement, information, and resources that may help them seek or maintain their recovery. This is a state-wide program and is modeled after TRS programs across the nation and by other Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) in the U.S.
TRS referrals sources include; mental health and substance use treatment centers and providers, jails/prisons, friends, family, and self-referrals. For more information or to sign up for the Telephone Recovery Support Program, contact Recover Wyoming at (307) 421-7261 or visit the Recovery Center at 1017 E Lincolnway, Cheyenne, WY 82001. Funding for TRS is provided by the Wyoming Department of Health/Behavioral Health Division.
