Southwest Counseling Services - Rock Springs, Wyoming

Craig D.

I have actively tried to recover from addiction for more than 10 years. Southwest Counseling was my 7th attempt at treatment. I failed to get what I needed to recover from 6 previous treatment centers across the country. Countless thousands of dollars were spent in an attempt to relieve my suffering from Alcoholism. It wasn’t until attending the Therapeutic Community Program at Southwest Counseling Service (S.C.S) that a solution was found. I can unequivocally and without a doubt say that S.C.S has saved my life. This program works. If you or a loved one is suffering from addiction I highly recommend S.C.S. be your first and likely only place to receive assistance in overcoming the effects of this illusive disease. Through the program I was able to discover the underlying cause of my ailment and more importantly how to navigate life without the need of substances to make life more bearable. It is in fact a difficult program, but a difficult problem demands a complex solution and is well worth the short term discomfort to achieve lifelong happiness. I only wish someone had ushered me to S.C.S sooner, I know a lot of heartbreak and suffering could have been spared. If you are like me and live with the cruel affliction of addiction please contact S.C.S. and let them help you discover a new life. You’re worth it, and you’re not alone.

I came to south west counseling for impatient treatment. I was told they have a women's house where I can also have my children there, only to be told that my children were to old to be able to be there with me. I get that there has to be strict rules, it's a rehab center, I get that. But I think what bothered my the most was that 90 percent of the people in there are on medication that they we're not on prior to being there, or they are put on suboxone for long periods of time,, if you haven't researched the side effects of long term suboxone use here's some info.

-While taking Suboxone can be highly beneficial in your recovery, using it long- term can be dangerous. This is a drug that is only meant to be used for the short period of time when your body is detoxing from opioids and is adjusting to that physiological change. When Suboxone is used more than that, it can produce the reemergence of withdrawal symptoms, such as:
• Anxiety • Depression • Insomnia • Lack of motivation • Joint and muscle pain • Sweats . Fatigue • Nausea Long-term Suboxone use can also cause the development of psychosis, which is characterized by mental health symptoms that signal a loss of touch with reality.

From a standpoint of a staff member I would give this facility 0 stars if I could, it is run poorly, residential staff are not treated well and the residential facilities for the clients are not good. They literally only care about money and they get it from filling beds not making it a helpful place. They will tell you that they value your feedback and allow for you to explain yourself, but they don't. Their probationary period is an entire year and it's basically set up to make you fail. If you're looking for a job in this field I highly recommend looking literally anywhere else, you'll come out with more problems than you went in with.

The front desk forgot I came in first for the walk in appointment and scheduled someone else in the slot. Then I could hear them gossiping about me through the window, as I was leaving they scoffed at my comments about having to get there from Green River. Misunderstanding ensued, I did get an apology for the incident. Recommend if you live in Green River schedule a zoom appointment, save you a trip

Southwest counseling saved my life. This is a pretty amazing place but it's also really big. It's ran like a corporation and if you aren't careful you will get lost in the shuffle. But if you're able to find where you fit in you can get some amazing help with these people. Just be patient because they are trying to help a lot a lot of people and sadly when you try to help as many people as they do you could fall through the cracks.

I think these guys are the absolute worst. If you can use one of the other counseling places in town I would suggest you do that. They called me and never left a message. I screen my calls so I rely on voicemails. Since i didn't answer they ended up closing my case. They left me high and dry without my bipolar medication. Then when I called to get a refill they informed me, very rudely might I add, that there was nothing they could do since I never got back to them. The Dr told me he didn't want to see me until i needed more medication which I called them when I needed more. I specifically asked them to leave me messages. When I pointed out that the medication that I was on if I didn't slowly come down off of it, it could have some extremely bad side effects. The lady on the phone told me it wasn't her problem and if it was so bad I could just go to the ER. These guys are the worst of the worst.
