Choosing the right approach for treating substance abuse or any accompanying mental health issues can be daunting. However, gaining insight into the various levels of care is an excellent starting point. At Gateway Foundation, we provide a comprehensive range of care tailored to support individuals throughout their recovery process.
Whether a person requires medically supervised detoxification, organized residential treatment, or adaptable outpatient services, each level of care is essential in assisting individuals on their path to recovery.
Below is an overview of the primary levels of care and their functionalities:
Residential Withdrawal Management (Detox)
Commonly referred to as detoxification, this is typically the first phase of treatment for those who have a physical dependence on alcohol or other substances. Detox occurs in a medically monitored setting where patients can safely handle withdrawal symptoms with the guidance of licensed professionals.
At Gateway Foundation, our detox services include:
- 24/7 medical supervision
- Support with medications when needed
- Ability to move on to a residential program afterward
Residential Treatment
Inpatient treatment offers around-the-clock care within a residential facility. This setting provides a structured and supportive environment, ideal for individuals needing to step away from daily stresses or thriving in an immersive atmosphere.
Key components of residential care include:
- Therapy sessions both individual and group
- Support from peers and community activities
- Programs focusing on wellness and life skills
By dedicating themselves entirely to recovery, individuals in residential treatment gain essential tools for reconstructing their lives.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient care enables individuals to receive specialized treatment while managing work, education, or family duties. This method is both flexible and effective, available in various levels to suit differing needs:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
As the most intensive level of outpatient care, PHP programs typically meet several hours a day, up to seven days a week. It includes individual, group, and family therapy along with on-site medical support. This is an excellent fit for those requiring intensive therapeutic or medical oversight or those transitioning from inpatient services.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
This program is a step down from PHP, offering more frequent treatment with structured therapy sessions.

Standard Outpatient (OP)
Standard Outpatient is a treatment option that is less intensive, involving
sessions
a few times each week with a therapist or counselor.
Virtual Outpatient Treatment
For individuals who encounter challenges accessing in-person care—such as issues with transportation, location, or scheduling—virtual outpatient programs provide a convenient and private option from the comfort of home. Patients can participate in therapy and support groups using secure video calls.
Recovery Homes
Recovery homes, often referred to as sober living homes, offer safe and supportive environments for those moving from more intensive care settings. These homes provide a substance-free space where individuals can build their recovery foundation while working, attending outpatient programs, or pursuing education.
Recovery homes encourage:
-
Access to community resources
-
Independence along with support
These homes act as a transitional phase between treatment and ongoing recovery.
Finding the Right Fit
Recovery paths vary for everyone, making it essential to conduct a tailored assessment to identify the best care level. At Gateway Foundation, our knowledgeable team collaborates with each individual to develop a customized treatment strategy that aligns with their specific needs, objectives, and situations.
Whether starting treatment or transitioning from a more intensive care level, every individual can find a supportive place in recovery, with help available at every stage.
