Long Term Recovery from addiction and co-occurring disorders is not only possible, but expected.

• Gateway to Prevention and Recovery recognizes that addiction is a chronic, relapsing condition and the need for treatment extends to the families and friends of the person active in their addiction
• Gateway also understands that individuals presenting for treatment may have mental health disorders, physical disorders or other co-existing conditions in addition to their addiction disorder
• Our agency is committed to the provision of quality, holistic, family centered, integrated treatment services.  These may include accessing services from a partner agency to ensure individuals receive the treatment and wellness services they deserve  

Assessment

• Each person is assessed as to their strengths and needs.
• The assessment may include information based on gender, individual preference, cultural identity, or special concerns such as childhood and adult trauma, domestic violence, economics and family issues. This information enables us to provide/refer individualized services for each person and family as well as increase the opportunity for success.

Success in Treatment

Gateway's treatment approach includes:

• helping individuals recognize their unique triggers for relapse
• helping individuals understand what is behind those triggers
• planning for different choices
• creating and building different coping skills
• implementation: putting those plans and skills into practice
• family involvement so healing takes place together
