A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You deserve support without shame or pressure to solve everything at once. Start with what matters most today—safety, health, food, housing, transportation, or one conversation. You set the pace.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Hot Springs County identifies Thermopolis as its county seat. Hot Springs County and the Town of Thermopolis are separate governments, and service boundaries differ. Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door for hoarding-related support. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option. Unburied is digital peer support—not therapy or emergency support. Listings identify their role and geography; confirm current cost, eligibility, service area, and availability directly. I could not verify a local hoarding-specialty clinician, in-person hoarding peer group, or hoarding-focused cleanout provider. That is a research gap, not proof none exists.
A people-first place to begin when clutter or hoarding is affecting you or someone you care about. Ask about respectful next steps and virtual groups. You do not have to agree to discard belongings to start a conversation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Hot Springs County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access, fit, eligibility, and any cost; emergency limit: nonclinical peer support—not therapy, crisis response, or cleanup
For immediate danger, active fire, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988; it is not emergency dispatch. For poisoning concerns, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. Wyoming Adult Protective Services has specific eligibility criteria and is not emergency response. Housing, food, rides, clinic appointments, and financial assistance are not guaranteed. Town code and utility processes apply only to the relevant service area and account. Confirm current hours, eligibility, costs, and openings before relying on a listing.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Thermopolis, Wyoming, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
