Residential Programs

Recovery from mental and behavioral health issues requires a structured, supportive environment. Gateways’ residential services are designed to provide a safe and nurturing space for adults ages 18-59 transitioning from inpatient care or requiring a higher level of support than outpatient services.

Gateways’ residential programs provide a continuum of care, offering individualized treatment plans, round-the-clock support, and a therapeutic community that fosters stability and growth. These services are essential at every stage, with the residential program bridging the gap between acute care and independent living.

Residential services focus on gradual reintegration into the community, offering tailored support to each client’s unique timeline for transitioning to less restrictive living arrangements. This approach ensures a holistic pathway to recovery, guiding clients from residential care to transitional housing and, ultimately, to independent living. With the skills and confidence gained during their stay, clients are empowered to thrive in their next chapter.
