Gateway Foundation offers outpatient substance use and co-occurring mental health disorder treatment for adults. They have a Springfield, Illinois, location on Adlai Stevenson Drive.
The facility is a BlueDistinction Center with BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois. They also accept Aetna, Cigna, and Health Alliance. They may accept other insurance as well.
The outpatient program is a comprehensive substance use treatment program. They have a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and traditional outpatient care.
The PHP is a structured program that meets every day for several hours. It’s a good followup program if you’ve recently graduated from an inpatient program. It’s also a good option if you need a highly structured program but can’t do an inpatient treatment program.
You’ll participate in group and individual therapy sessions. Some of the therapy modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) where you’ll learn to overcome negative thinking patterns. There are routine evaluations from medical professionals who will adjust your program if necessary.
The PHP also includes medical support for detox. If you need medication for co-occurring mental health disorders like depression or anxiety, you can get that in the PHP as well. You’ll be able to live at home while attending the program.
The IOP is also an outpatient program that allows you to live at home while attending. The nice thing about the IOP is that you can work or go to school while in the program because it’s more flexible. You’ll attend group and individual therapy and also participate in recreational activities.
The traditional outpatient care program is much more flexible and less restrictive. You’ll meet with a therapist about once a week. You’ll see a psychiatrist once a month for medication management if you need to.
The center also offers support groups. These groups help you continue your sober journey by equipping you with the tools you need to face your personal challenges. Support groups are led by a licensed therapist. Some groups are age- or gender-specific. Some groups are focused on substance use care.
