Central Wyoming Counseling Center (CWCC) is undertaking two major expansion projects to extend behavioral health services across the region. The first initiative involves partnering with the State of Nebraska and Region 1 Behavioral Health Authority to establish a behavioral health and crisis stabilization center in Kimball, Nebraska. The project will transform the former Kimball Health Services hospital into a recovery-focused treatment center funded through State of Nebraska Opioid Treatment Infrastructure Cash Funds. The facility will provide crisis assessment and intervention, medication management, and stabilization services for individuals experiencing mental health or substance use crises.
Closer to home, CWCC is also pursuing a merger with Fremont Counseling Service (FCS), which operates locations in Riverton and Lander, Wyoming. This merger aims to unify operations and create a stronger behavioral health network across central and western Wyoming, while ensuring residents of Fremont County retain local emphasis and continuity. Clients requiring residential treatment in Fremont County will gain direct access to CWCC’s comprehensive treatment programs in Casper.
CEO Jim Cowser emphasized that CWCC’s commitment to Casper and central Wyoming remains strong despite expansion. Each new project includes dedicated funding and staffing to ensure local services are fully supported, with no interruptions to current client care. CWCC Board Chair Brettnee Tromble noted the organization’s 65-year history in the community and praised the leadership’s vision to extend hope and healing to neighboring regions while maintaining exceptional local service. Both initiatives are being developed with independent budgets and teams, allowing CWCC’s existing Casper operations to continue at full strength.
