About Central Wyoming Counseling Center
Central Wyoming Counseling Center (CWCC), at 1430 Wilkins Circle in Casper, is one of central Wyoming’s most comprehensive behavioral health agencies — and one of the few in the region offering the full continuum of substance use treatment from medical detox through outpatient follow-up in a single organization. SAMHSA records the program as providing Medical Detox, Residential Treatment, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and standard Outpatient Program services. The agency markets itself with the tagline ‘You Are Not Alone’ and emphasizes a compassionate, confidential, community-rooted approach.
Clinical leadership includes Medical Director Dr. Mark Vuolo, MD, and Clinical Director Peggy Hayes, with Christopher Martinez also identified among the leadership team. CWCC describes a multi-disciplined staff of over 100, including Peer Specialists — a meaningful inclusion that reflects the broader recovery-support workforce trend toward incorporating lived-experience peers into clinical teams. The website notes the agency’s strong community involvement and longstanding history of service in Natrona County.
The agency is CARF accredited per both SAMHSA and the CWCC website. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is documented as a clinical method, and SAMHSA additionally flags trauma-informed care and telehealth. Populations served are notably broad: adults, children, adolescents, families, veterans, pregnant women, seniors / older adults, men, women, people living with HIV/AIDS, deaf and hard-of-hearing clients (ASL supported), and court-ordered clients. Co-Occurring Disorders / Dual Diagnosis and Trauma / PTSD are explicitly in scope, consistent with the dual mental-health and SUD focus of the agency.
CWCC accepts a broad payer mix per SAMHSA: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, sliding-scale self-pay, and cash. A recent CWCC initiative referenced on the website is ‘Payment Reform’ — sliding-scale infrastructure designed to keep care affordable. Spanish-language services are referenced as part of the offering. Open Access intake — walk-in availability outside scheduled appointments — is a recurring feature of the agency’s communications. The main phone is (307) 237-9583.
