Questions people ask about Gateway Foundation
What treatment does Gateway Foundation offer?

Can you detox at Gateway Foundation?

What special programs does Gateway Foundation offer?

What is there in Chicago that costs nothing?
Chicago has 876 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Can any of this be done remotely?

What else is near Gateway Foundation?
The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Chicago, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Which level of care do I need?
The practical question is not severity but what you go home to each night. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Ask which level they would put a family member in, and why that one.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask what this program would do differently from the last one.
