If you are at a point in your life where alcohol is a necessity, you have developed an addiction. While you might want to seek help, you might not be able to leave your regular life to get it. If you have work, school or family responsibilities preventing you from seeking Residential Treatment, outpatient alcoholism treatment is an option. With the flexibility of scheduling therapies and services, outpatient treatment helps you begin your journey towards a sober life.

At Gateway’s outpatient alcoholism treatment centers, we offer continuous support during your journey to recovery. We believe addiction is a lifelong disease, so we provide you with the skills needed to enjoy lifelong success at alcohol addiction treatment centers. We practice Addiction Medicine that merges holistic practices to heal your body, mind, and spirit with evidence-based services backed with scientific research.

Get Started with Outpatient Care for Alcoholism

Benefits Provided by Outpatient Alcoholism Treatment Centers

While it is possible to overcome alcohol addiction by yourself or with help from family or friends, it is more likely you’ll achieve better success by attending outpatient alcoholism treatment. With treatment, you can benefit from the care, guidance, and support of experienced medical professionals. At Outpatient Treatment centers, you learn the skills needed to cope with challenging situations and to enjoy a sober life. You also maintain accountability during our program and beyond. Through treatment, you also engage with therapists and other patients to learn to socialize without resorting to alcohol.

Best of all, Outpatient Treatment provides flexibility through scheduling choices during the morning, afternoon and evening. It also allows you to continue working, going to school or taking care of your family while you seek treatment.

Because you are not forced to take a long absence from your real life, you also retain your privacy. You do not have to provide explanations to employers, teachers or family members for extended absences. Finally, outpatient alcoholism treatment centers Illinois are also more affordable since they usually cost less than Residential care. We do not want cost to stop you from seeking help, so we also accept in-and out-of-network insurance coverage and we’ll verify insurance coverage.

Spent some time here and got some great tools to help me in my recovery. My counselors in the women’s unit were great and supportive. Love the monthly alumni meetings after treatment, great way to stay connected.

A little over 7 years ago I decided to seek treatment for alcohol and drug addiction and chose this facility as a place to try and arrest my disease and I have been clean and sober ever since. After 30 days inpatient treatment and 9 months outpatient I was able to achieve that goal. I recommend this facility to anyone who truly wants freedom from active addiction.

This place honestly saved my life. I was so bad my counselor said in the 2 years she was working there my case was the most unique she’s ever had, and now I’m almost 15 months clean!
