Compassionate Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centers in Illinois
Gateway network of treatment centers supports patients in recovery from addiction. As part of this network, we provide the high level of care possible through more than 50 years of experience. Our addiction clinic uses evidence-based and patient-centered practices that save lives.
Benefits of Outpatient Treatment at an Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Center
At Gateway Joliet, we specialize in outpatient treatment. During an outpatient program, patients visit our facility for several hours a week while staying at home. Outpatient addiction treatment allows you to:
- Continue your daily obligations while receiving treatment
- Maintain your support system at home, work and school
- Receive a more affordable treatment option than inpatient services
- Visit our treatment center during flexible hours
- Get support when you have mild to moderate substance use disorder symptoms
If you have severe addiction symptoms or need a high level of structure, you might benefit more from inpatient treatment. Other clinics in our network can provide residential services if you need them. We encourage you to reach out to us if you have any type of addiction. During your intake, we can help you determine whether you need a referral to another one of our locations.
Our Drug and Alcohol Addiction Rehab Center Outpatient Programs
We offer two primary addiction treatment programs — outpatient and half-day outpatient. Learn more about each model:
Outpatient: During outpatient services, you receive a variety of treatments tailored to your symptoms. We will create an individualized care plan that targets your needs. As you go through treatment, we will adjust this plan to change with you.- Half-day outpatient: Our half-day outpatient program offers the same benefits as our traditional outpatient services. If you have daily obligations, you can attend our half-day services as early as 10:30 AM. These flexible hours empower you to balance your obligations with your recovery.
As you progress through recovery, you can also transition from one program model to another. We will work with you to develop a treatment plan that adapts to your symptoms and situation.
