About Gateway Foundation

Gateway Foundation in Aurora, Illinois is a nonprofit addiction treatment center offering one of the largest full-service programs in the state. They deliver care across the full continuum, from medically supervised detox and residential treatment to outpatient therapy and recovery support.

Clients often praise Gateway for its compassionate staff, evidence-based therapies and smooth transitions through each stage of recovery.

Treating a Diverse Population

The center serves both men and women and is inclusive of individuals needing family support, LGBTQ+ persons and those involved in DUI programs. They also have expertise in dual diagnosis treatment.

Gateway is located on the Ascension Mercy campus. The surroundings are serene and suburban, with access to nearby recreational areas like Phillips Park. I like that the facility includes on-site amenities like a fitness center and communal dining.

Affordable Payment Options

I like that they accept all major insurance plans and offer free, confidential assessments. The facility strives to make costs manageable through structured payment options.

You can reach out for a confidential assessment via phone to determine which level of care fits your situation best. A clinical team then develops an individualized treatment plan and guides you through admission into residential, outpatient or transition-housing programs.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Some of the most common services offered in a young adult program in Illinois include individual and group counseling, medication management, educational courses, and 12-step programs. These programs are tailored to address the challenges of this stage of life.

Individuals who are struggling with addiction to drugs or alcohol can get support at an adult program in Illinois. Designed for men and women over the age of 18, these programs offer rehabilitation treatment and recovery services.

Men's Rehab

Men’s rehab in Illinois typically includes individual, group, and family therapies. Group sessions are conducted with men only, which encourages greater vulnerability and sharing opportunities among participants.

Drug rehab in Illinois is designed to help men and women recover from drug addiction. The length of the program and its intensity vary, based on the individual’s needs. It’s important to find the right program to suit your unique situation and challenges.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Illinois may be brief or long-term, depending on the individual. During this time, you will maintain membership in a support group as well as attend one-on-one counseling sessions. The focus is ongoing development of life skills that will prevent relapse.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

An Illinois dual diagnosis program treats both your mental health and recovery needs. Psychiatrists and addiction specialists work together to address co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Illinois lowers the chance of relapse. This program offers support to help you face challenges after you successfully complete rehab. By providing guidance, accountability, and assistance with basic life skills, aftercare gives you confidence to navigate temptations and maintain sobriety.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab in Illinois features intensive clinical supervision and a highly structured and supportive environment, meaning this level of care is especially well suited for clients just beginning their recovery journey and those at risk of relapse.

Detox & MAT

The first step toward a drug-free future is typically detox. This initial phase of drug rehab in Illinois can last up to a week. During this time, addictive substances are slowly and safely cleansed from your body.

Sober Living

Sober living in Illinois offers an environment where you can focus on your recovery journey. You’ll live in a drug-free residence, where you’ll contribute to household bills and chores, attend 12-step meetings, and submit to random drug testing. This structured environment can be helpful to maintain sobriety during the first few months of recovery.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

In many cases, drug rehab in Illinois begins with intervention. Professional intervention services are available to help you facilitate an intervention, develop a treatment plan, and choose the program that best suits your loved one’s needs.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Illinois are often a good fit for those who have work or family obligations that would otherwise exclude them from participating in an inpatient program. PHPs typically require an average treatment commitment of five to seven onsite visits a week, each ranging from four to eight hours in length.
