Services Provided at Gateway Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers

Patients in any of our programs have access to our full spectrum of addiction treatment services. We will recommend services based on your intake and personal input. Our team offers a wide range of medical and behavioral treatments, including:

• Group Therapy: We also offer family counseling, which helps strengthen bonds and teaches each family member how to work together.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment: By incorporating prescription medications, our team of experts can help patients manage some symptoms experienced through early recovery. Our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) helps make the recovery process easier while decreasing the chances of relapse.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy: Designed to help patients challenge their thinking, beliefs and values, cognitive behavioral therapy equips individuals with the tools and skills they need to overcome their substance addiction. To help prevent relapse, patients will also learn coping skills they can apply to future challenges. 
• Dialectical behavioral therapy: Using dialectical behavioral therapy, patients learn how to positively manage emotions. By first identifying and modifying behaviors, feelings and thoughts, patients can understand what led to their addiction and how they can overcome it.
• Trauma Informed Care:  Our substance use treatment facility also offers trauma informed care for patients suffering from either acute, chronic or complex trauma.
• Motivational Interviewing: For patients who need some encouragement to stay engaged and focused on the future, we offer Motivational Interviewing. This program helps people find the positives of living a sober life and guides them in figuring out how to make it happen.
• Mindfulness-Based Sobriety: Patients who join our Mindfulness-Based Sobriety program learn how to stay focused on the present. By acknowledging feelings and situations happening in the “here and now”, patients can focus on these things and progress toward sobriety. Just like our other programs, Mindfulness-Based Sobriety is tailored to each individual and can be complemented by our other addiction treatment programs.
• Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment: Our treatment plans address co-occurring conditions at the same time to treat the individual and connected aspects of each disorder.

Each patient has a personalized care plan that can include some or all of the above services. Your treatment plan will feature services tailored to your symptoms and needs.

When to Visit an Illinois Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center

Our Gurnee facility provides Intensive Outpatient level of care. When you participate in an Intensive Outpatient drug and alcohol program, you will live at home while attending our clinic. Outpatient treatment might fit your needs if you:

• Have a supportive network of friends and family at home
• Experience mild to moderate addiction symptoms
• Need to attend work or school every day

If you have severe symptoms or a lot of distractions at home, you might benefit more from a residential program. We welcome any patient who needs help with addiction to reach out to us. Our team can evaluate your needs and direct you to another Gateway location if you need inpatient services.
