Fentanyl has changed what is at stake when someone you love is using. A planned drug intervention gives your Wyoming family a way to act now, together.
A drug intervention is a structured meeting, prepared with a professional interventionist, in which the people closest to someone who is using ask them to accept treatment that day. We travel to families throughout Wyoming, from Casper, Cheyenne and Laramie to smaller towns, and planning starts right away, because with today's drug supply waiting carries real risk.

Wyoming has a Good Samaritan overdose law (W.S. 35-7-1064, effective July 1, 2025) that offers some legal protection to people who call for help during an overdose. Its protections have conditions, but calling 911 is always the right move.
Naloxone (Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose, not stimulants. See our fentanyl family guide.
The Wyoming Department of Health ships free fentanyl test strip kits to Wyoming street addresses, typically within one to two weeks (source).
Each one shapes the medical side of detox differently.
Not directly. Wyoming has no substance use commitment law that a family can start on its own. A planned, professionally led intervention is the most reliable route to treatment.
Wyoming's involuntary hospitalization law excludes addiction to drugs or alcohol and intoxication from its definition of mental illness, so families cannot petition for commitment based on substance use alone. (source) Confirm the current rules with a Wyoming attorney before relying on them.
