A woman’s role in the family (mother, wife,
sister, daughter, friend) often means her disease
has had a profound effect
on her loved ones. This situation, un-aided, can
easily lead
to the collapse of the family, divorce, or even
problematic
child behavior. The untreated family of an alcoholic
or drug addict puts added stress on the newly
recovering person. Everyone
who is a member of a chemically dependant family
needs
and deserves recovery. Gateway assists our residents
and their families toward recovery through education
and
group counseling specifically for family issues.
Admission is arranged following a pre-screening
and orientation process that may be initiated
through
a simple phone call to our office. The minimum
stay is negotiable; however, staff usually recommends
a
stay of at least 90 days. The treatment program
at
Gateway is based on individual recovery plans.
These sessions are repeated, thus allowing residents
to receive
the information more than once. Sample topics
include: Sobriety, Spiritual and Emotional
Well-Being, Mental Health, Physical Health, and
Establishing Short- and Long-Term Goals.
