Wyoming Resources


Wyoming provides coverage options through medicare, Medicaid and medi-cal programs throughout the state. With a rise in addiction and addiction-related diseases, these programs are not providing enough coverage options to those that are living within the state.

People helping people is Wyoming’s way of overcoming and battling the addiction crisis that is plaguing their state. Those that have been a part of the addiction in the past are now reaching out to others that are currently struggling to find the best possible answer. This aims to let anyone know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and they are not alone in this.

The resources below are there to provide those in these plans with an idea of where they can go to get the help they need. If you’re in a Medicaid, medicare, or medi-cal program in Wyoming, not a private insurance, these resources are for you. Help is just a call away.
