New Patient Information

Congratulations and welcome! The following information will be helpful to you and your family as you prepare for your admission. If you have additional questions that are not answered below, please call us at (888) 453-5220 or our local number, (307) 265-3791.

General Patient Guidelines

Clothing should be casual and season specific. Nights are cool in Wyoming so a light coat is recommended in the summer, and winter outside clothing (gloves, hat, snow boots, etc) is recommended during the fall and winter months.

Medications prescribed by your physician that you are currently taking should be brought with you. Medication evaluation will be conducted after admission. Any new or refill prescriptions while at Wyoming Recovery are filled at a local pharmacy so be sure to bring pharmacy insurance information and adequate funds to pay for your prescriptions.

Meals and snacks are provided. Any special snacks will need to be purchased by the patient.

A reasonable amount of cash ($20) is suggested per week to cover the cost of toiletries, and other miscellaneous needs you might have while in treatment. Patients have access to a convenience store if needed.

Linens are provided, however, you may bring your own pillow. Washer and dryer are available for patient use.

Patient automobile keys are kept by staff in a secure locked area. Patients have access to their automobiles when supervised by Wyoming Recovery staff or if they have an approved pass specifying use of an automobile.

A private, unlisted telephone line is provided for your use in the residential facility. All patients share this line so calls should be kept to a minimum. Cell phones are allowed on a restricted basis.

Because nicotine addiction is the leading cause of death in our patients, we give support to all who have interest in quitting. Smoking at Wyoming Recovery is only permitted in designated outdoor smoking areas.
