Questions people ask about Gateway Foundation
What levels of care does Gateway Foundation offer?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Chicago has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Gateway Foundation offer a detox?
No. There is no detox listed near Chicago at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
What special programs does Gateway Foundation offer?
Veterans are one of the 10 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Does Gateway Foundation treat depression too?
They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Chicago that is the part that varies.
Is there a Spanish speaking counselor at Gateway Foundation?
Yes, they treat people in Spanish. Whether that means a counselor who speaks it or an interpreter is worth asking, and Chicago has 8 other centers to ask the same of.
Can my family come?
Most programs build the family in, and how far they do it is a real difference between two centers. Living with somebody in early recovery changes a household's routine, and family sessions are where that gets planned. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
What does the first conversation cover?
Somebody works through a short list: the substance, the amount, the history, the insurance. The call can be made by a relative, and intake lines deal with that constantly. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
One puts a building between you and the drug. The other asks you to manage that yourself while being treated. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
