Veteran Services – Volunteers of America

You can find Volunteers of America (VOA) Northern Rockies Cheyenne in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

VOA is a faith-based non-profit organization that’s been helping people reach their potential since 1896. Their Northern Rockies Cheyenne branch offers a variety of mental health services and support for veterans and their families. They provide addiction assessments and outpatient addiction care.

Depending on your needs, they may refer you to their gender-specific centers for residential addiction treatment and social detox services. These nearby options include The Life House for men and The Gathering Place for women.

Support for Individuals of All Ages, Families, and More

Northern Rockies has staff trained to help youths and older adults, so you can find help no matter your age or stage of life. They also offer family services to help you navigate unique family dynamics and restore harmony within your familial unit.

Because VOA has extensive mental health services, you can find help for co-occurring mental health disorders that are impacting your quality of life. They can help you find employment, integrate with your community, and gain independence through practical life skills.

Integrate Spirituality Into Your Recovery

Something I like about VOA Northern Rockies is that they believe your spirituality plays a big role in your healing and long-term recovery. They have two programs which help you establish a strong base in your faith or cultural heritage. Both work in conjunction with the 12-step program.

The Native American Cultural Enhancement program is designed to provide a treatment experience that considers and celebrates your cultural inheritance. They offer sessions in their therapeutic sweat lodge, lessons on cultural traditions, and opportunities for smudging. They also host tribal events. This program is built on a foundation of respect and joy, and it helps you embrace your roots as part of your recovery journey.

Their Christian Enhancement Program helps you build a strong relationship with God through Bible studies, grief and trauma counseling, and other faith-related topics.
