Gateway Foundation: Lake Villa, IL

On the shores of Fox Lake in northern Illinois, we help patients recover from addiction. We offer a safe and quiet place where you can work toward a drug-free life. When you become a patient at Gateway Foundation Lake Villa, you become a patient for life. Let us support you during and after treatment so you can have a successful recovery.

Who Does Our Drug and Alcohol Addiction Rehab Center Treat?

We consider our diversity of treatment one of our greatest strengths. At Gateway Foundation Lake Villa, we support adult and adolescent patients in their recovery. Our adolescent program gives teens ages 12 to 18 a space to recover with their peers. Young adults between ages 18 and 26 can join our Bridges program for a similar experience. You can also find patients older than 26 getting help from our Lake Villa team.

To make our treatment accessible to as many patients as possible, we aim to provide multiple payment options. We work with insurance providers in and out of our network to help you afford care. If you don’t have insurance, we also offer financing options.

Amenities at Our Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment Center

At Gateway Foundation Lake Villa, you can participate in a variety of wellness activities with Fox Lake as your backdrop. We provide both indoor and outdoor healthy lifestyle activities for our patients. For example, our indoor gym has cardio equipment and weights to help you learn healthy habits during recovery. Once someone graduates from our clinic, they will also receive continued support from our active alumni community.

Lake Villa’s Bridge Program is designed specifically for young men battling drug and alcohol addiction. High school and college can be some of the most exciting times for any young man. However, the freedom that comes with it can often lead to exposure to drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, “experimentation” with substances is common for young adults in this position.

Since using drugs at a young age can present a great risk, getting treatment early is essential. Trying drugs “once or twice” can be a slippery slope that leads to full-blown addiction.

More often than not, abusers slip into addiction without ever realizing what happened.

Our young men’s residential Bridge Program is meant specifically for young men in this category. Sadly, these boys typically struggle with self-esteem and confidence issues. For them, using drugs can often start as a way to fit in or to cope, but it often turns into something far worse.

The Bridge Program battles addiction by getting to the core causes of addiction in the young men that we treat. This is because easing withdrawal and supplying treatment is only a part of the battle. The roots of addiction can be intensely personal issues. In such a case, treating just the addiction this way is like only treating a symptom and not the cause.

However, our young men’s residential Bridge Program strategically targets young men’s addictions while simultaneously building their self-worth and image. Teaching these young men to find their own personal value gives them a foundation on which to build a successful, sober life. Without this foundation, many of these young adults will be unable to find lasting sobriety.

WHAT THE BRIDGE PROGRAM OFFERS

Lake Villa’s young men’s residential Bridge Program is an enhanced addiction treatment program, which also focuses on the unique needs of emerging adults at its core. Addiction often interrupts healthy development, which can create certain challenges for young adults seeking independence. The average human brain reaches full development in the mid 20s, but the use of drugs and alcohol can disrupt this process.

Designed for the 18-26-year-old age range, the Bridge Program gives our residents a recovery option with a focused evidence-based approach incorporating an array of modalities and supports.

While participating in the treatment, adolescent clients also participate in quality and credit-earning educational services that will also help your teen stay on course for educational success. Educational services are provided in partnership between Gateway Foundation, the local school district, and the client’s home school district.

Let us support you as you take your life back from addiction. Our network of treatment centers has more than five decades of experience and one million lives saved. Begin your journey to recovery by calling us at 847-356-8205 or contacting us online today.
