About The GateHouse Lititz
Men in recovery who need a longer stretch of care live at The GateHouse, a residential treatment program in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Stays in the extended care program typically run three to six months, and each resident gets a relapse prevention plan, a discharge plan and an aftercare plan.
The house sits right in the community and has room for 29 residents at a time. In the 12-step program, residents attend meetings every day, keep regular contact with a sponsor, and join a homegroup.
Medicaid and County Funding
The residential extended care program at The GateHouse in Lititz is paid for through PA state Medicaid (Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program) and County Funding, with Cash Pay as another option. Plus, when public coverage is part of the mix, you can plan the cost of the stay instead of assuming it all comes out of pocket.
