Why The Gate House?
The lessons of prior drug rehab treatment are many and can be difficult to consolidate all that needs to be learned and put into practice when released into extreme temptation and little support. Life at The Gate House is like a practice run at real life recovery.The information learned in prior treatment programs can be practiced from within a safe and stable environment before the recovering addict returns completely to the environment of old people, place, and temptations.
Clinical studies show that the long term recovery rates and aftercare participation rates remain significantly higher for those people residing in a community based residential treatment program Most newly recovering individuals struggle initially with coping skills, boredom, and need to relearn how to enjoy life without the use of a substance. The residents build better social interaction skills with others in a home like situation as well as gain valuable employment and life skills. Essentially, The Gate House keeps the newly recovering person motivated and growing in recovery. Through gradually increasing exposure to temptations and challenge, the continuing drug treatment at a The Gate House will increases the probability of success. One of the best ways to improve the odds of long term participation in aftercare and long term recovery is to transition slowly out of rehab through a community based treatment program before returning fully to the community.
