Questions people ask about Gateway Foundation
Is Gateway Foundation inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Waukegan is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Gateway Foundation offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Waukegan, 1.8 miles away.
How many other options are in this area?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them a few streets away in Gurnee.
Is there a residential program at Gateway Foundation?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Gurnee.
What is there in Gurnee that costs nothing?
Gurnee has 11 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Who are the programs at Gateway Foundation built for?
They offer a program for adult women, which not every center around Gurnee does.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
They normally continue, and a prescriber reviews the whole list rather than applying a rule to it. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.
What does the first conversation cover?
Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
