About Gateways Recovery Center – Cincinnati
Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Gateways Recovery Center provides outpatient recovery services for individuals struggling with addiction. They’re accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and the Ohio Department of Mental Health. Clients can pay for treatment through Medicaid and other insurance plans.
The facility offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms and learn the skills you need for longer term recovery. A physician will determine your eligibility for this through a physical examination and an assessment for opioid dependency. The medications offered at Gateways are Vivitrol and Suboxone.
Vivitrol works by blocking the effects of opiates so that you receive no rewarding effects from taking opiates. Suboxone can also be effective by relieving your drug cravings by tricking your brain into thinking it’s still getting opiates.
You’ll have one on one counseling with a licensed therapist who will help you identify triggers and develop relapse prevention strategies. They may use dialectical behavior therapy and evidence based approaches to help you with emotional regulation and changing thoughts that discourage your recovery.
The staff will help coordinate your care by helping you get access to outside professionals, primary care providers and other community resources.
