GATEWAY Gateway is a 16-bed residential
facility, supportive of male adults who have substance abuse disorders and
may be homeless and/or have mental health issues. The facility was renovated with a HUD grant
in 1999. The program provides a supervised supportive living environment for
individuals in recovery from substance abuse who may be homeless. Clients
with chemical addiction stay approximately 30 days, although the stay may be
extended if the client has no drug-free living environment to which they can
return. Clients receive substance abuse and mental health treatment and life
skills training as well as education about relapse prevention. Goals for homeless clients include,
acquisition of safe and chemically-free housing, participation in relapse
prevention, life skills groups and support groups, finding employment and
building a financial foundation |
