AT ITS BASE, ADDICTION RECOVERY IS ABOUT CHANGE.

Recovery is the process of letting go of the use of all substances and self-destructive patterns, but that is only the beginning. Recovery at Gateway requires understanding, managing and improving key factors that impact daily life through a variety of addiction therapy services:

  • Recognizing your personal strengths and building upon them
  • Improving your functioning in primary life domains like relationships, work and finance
  • Understanding your triggers and how to address them
  • Building healthy coping and living skills to manage stress and conflict
  • Identifying and changing harmful thinking patterns like denial, rationalization and justification
  • Finding a safe and nurturing living environment
  • Developing healthy habits including good nutrition and exercise
  • Creating and engaging with addiction recovery support groups to help cope with life’s challenges

Addiction recovery is not easy, and can include both personal triumphs and seemingly insurmountable challenges. Committing to positive choices, healthy relationships and an ongoing awareness of what’s required to live a life in recovery helps achieve lasting success.
