About Gateway To Prevention & Recovery – Shawnee
Gateway To Prevention and Recovery’s Pottawatomie County Clinical Office is an addiction and mental health treatment facility that provides prevention, recovery, and treatment services to individuals and families throughout Shawnee and Oklahoma.
One great thing about this facility is that clients are not turned away due to an inability to pay. Payment for services is determined based on financial eligibility. The facility currently accepts Medicaid, Medicare, Sooner Care, and other commercial insurance policies. They also accept private pay and have a sliding fee scale for eligible clients.
The Shawnee location has outpatient treatment services and recovery services to aid clients through their journey towards complete recovery. The services can help children, adolescents, and adults. The facility offers trauma informed counseling, couples counseling, parenting classes, and case management.
One great feature of this facility is their Survivors of Suicide Support Group.
Many of Gateway’s prevention efforts focus on stopping, slowing, and preventing the development of substance use before they begin. Two of the facility’s main community coalition programs are the Youth ACCT group and the Pottawatomie Alliance Towards Community Health (PATCH).
The Youth ACCT (Achieve Community Change Together) is a program geared toward middle and high school students around the Pottawatomie area. This group helps prevent underage drinking and drug use.
Pottawatomie Alliance Towards Community Health (PATCH) focuses on developing community partnerships between associations, businesses, agencies, and individuals to work towards youth prevention efforts. The group focuses on key issues like drinking, tobacco prevention, obesity, prescription drug misuse, and vaping.
