Questions people ask about Gateway Foundation
What programs does Gateway Foundation offer?
They offer outpatient. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Joliet has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at Gateway Foundation?
They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Joliet. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.
Are there other centers close to Gateway Foundation?
The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Joliet, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
What special programs does Gateway Foundation offer?
People dealing with past trauma are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
What ages does Gateway Foundation treat?
Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Joliet can mean one group rather than several.
Which medications does Gateway Foundation prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Joliet.
Is there a sliding scale?
List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.
Who has access to my records?
Privacy rules on this are tighter than most people expect, and they apply from the first phone call. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
