What Is Rehabilitation at The GateHouse All About?

Addiction is a vicious cycle that is arduous to break, especially alone. For over 50 years, The GateHouse has effectively served thousands of men, women, and families by providing proven, post-rehabilitative treatment services for those struggling with addiction.

Why the GateHouse?

 As professionals in the field of human services, we believe the “human” dimension of recovery must take precedence over logistics and process. That is why teaching clients the necessary skills to manage addiction is only part of the battle. The other part is dignifying their fears and validating their struggle … and that is where The GateHouse team shines. How do we shine? By effectively combining personal empathy and professional insight to give real meaning to “Restoring the Human Spirit Through Recovery.”

More Reasons to Trust Our Rehabilitation Services 

There are many reputable resources for alcohol and drug treatment in Central PA, but The GateHouse treatment center focuses on gender-specific care for its clients. Because we recognize that addiction manifests itself differently for men and women, we take the time to analyze and determine exactly what each individual requires, including gender-sensitive challenges that can further complicate an already complicated journey.   

There are no pat answers to such complex challenges, which is why our credentialed experts develop individualized, long-term treatment plans that encompass all aspects of recovery.

Testimonies 

"The GateHouse made me feel like a person again. The sisterhood with the women that were there was amazing. To this day, I’m still in contact with the women I met there. We really bonded. We carried each other while we were in there. If it wasn’t for The GateHouse, I don’t know where I would be today. They literally saved my life.”

- Bryanna Adams, Gatehouse Alumni

""They showed me how to do things for myself. Nobody did anything for me. They just showed me what I could do. That empowerment—I can't even explain how much that meant to me. Everybody deserves a chance at success. If I can do this, and if my life can change because of a place like GateHouse, it can happen for anybody. I'm not special. There are so many people just needing that little bit of extra encouragement, those little glimmers of hope that their lives can get better."
