<p><strong>ABOUT GATEWAY REHAB – SQUIRREL HILL</strong></p> <p>Gateway Rehab, a non-profit organization that operates 22 facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio, offers a continuum of addiction services for adolescents and adults. Located in a residential neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pa., Gateway Rehab Squirrel Hill provides <strong>specialized, age- and gender-specific intensive outpatient programs</strong> (IOP) for individuals struggling with substance abuse. The Squirrel Hill location does not offer on-site detoxification.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Gateway Rehab Squirrel Hill tailors treatment to its clients. To start, participants undergo a substance abuse assessment for clinicians to form an individualized care plan. The facility offers specialized programs for adolescents and young adults ages 13 to 25, adults over 40, and gender-specific tracks for all ages.</p> <p>The program combines <strong>12-Step immersion with evidence-based treatment methods,</strong> specifically cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Clients also participate in <strong>individual counseling and small group sessions</strong>. Counseling is designed to address underlying issues of addiction and modify destructive behavior patterns. <strong>Relapse prevention</strong> and coping skills also are integral in the recovery process.</p> <p>Along with counseling and educational sessions, the program incorporates <strong>Twelve-Step Facilitation</strong> (TSF), which is a manual-guided model of treatment that introduces clients to 12-Step principles and practices and connects them to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Clients attend 12-Step meetings, learn <strong>12-Step tools of recovery</strong>, familiarize themselves with program literature, and perform “step work.” Although Gateway Rehab strongly recommends 12-Step involvement, alternative curricula may be available to clients who prefer not to participate in this model of recovery.</p> <p>The facility also offers a regimen of <strong>medication-assisted therapy</strong> (e.g., Suboxone and Vivitrol) to coincide with core programming. <strong>Morning and evening sessions</strong> are available five days a week to accommodate client schedules. Upon successful completion, Gateway Rehab invites clients to remain active in the <strong>alumni association</strong>, and the treatment network has introduced its own addiction recovery mobile app,<a href="http://www.gatewayrehab.org/recovery/12-01-app">12:01</a>.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Gateway Rehab is accredited by the Joint Commission and is a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. There currently is no information provided on the facility's website or otherwise regarding its treatment staff. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Alumni polled by Rehabs.com offered <strong>mixed reviews</strong>. They held <strong>staff experience in high esteem</strong> by rating it 4.5 stars, on average, out of five. They <strong>would recommend this rehab,</strong> also rating this variable 4.5 stars, on average. </p> <p>Yet, they rendered three stars, on average, for exercise and leisure offerings. And they offered a 2.67-star rating, on average, for: counseling options, family participation, connectivity, cleanliness, and affordability. </p> <p>One alum rated treatment effectiveness, accommodations, and meals with four stars. Yet, this individual offered the following comment: "communication attention to detail lack of effort lack of staff i was there cause I had to be."</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Feedback from friends and family <strong>generally was positive</strong>, according to Rehab.com survey data. Loved ones offered more than four stars, on average, out of five stars for <strong>staff experience, family participation, and cleanliness</strong>. However, these respondents had more neutral opinions regarding holistic offerings, which may reflect the emphasis on 12-Steps. </p> <p>Citing the knowledgeable staff as a strength, an anonymous loved one told Rehabs.com: “I thought the process from beginning to end was well organized and professional every step of the way.” Although reporting a relapse, a friend of a client shared this positive opinion of staff, adding: “My friend went there and went back to drugs once she was out. The staff was nice and informative but didn't seem to help.” </p> <p>Reporting a beneficial experience, a child of a client said: "They seem to get good results" and added “I would recommend this place. My mom was there and came out a lot better than before she went in.” And another anonymous reviewer wrote: "This is overall a very good facility - the best in the Pittsburgh area, in my opinion."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, Gateway Rehab is in-network with most insurance providers.</p>
