About Gateway House
Gateway Recovery Center is a women’s residential treatment program. You’ll find ’em located in a semi rural part of Fort Smith, Arkansas. All women, including those pregnant and have young kids, can benefit. You can receive care for substance misuse and any co-occurring disorders.
Their residential program is part of their network. If you need any specialized services, they can refer you to other centers. They have a transitional living campus that offers additional support for up to 18 months. Or, their residential campus right outside Hot Springs National Park offers relief from fast-paced urban living, and you can relax in the surrounding natural splendor.
What stands out most to me is their home-like community. You’ll live among other women on similar paths. They provide single, double, and triple occupancy rooms so you can feel most comfortable. You can also enjoy a lounge area with televisions and a study. I think it’s great that they offer a safe space to focus solely on rebuilding your life with support from staff and peers. You’ll have ample space and time for fellowship with your peers.
Another notable feature I noticed was their treatment approaches. Along with 12-Step groups, you can access advanced proven and experiential therapies. Motivational enhancement therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EDMR), mindfulness, and hypnotherapy are available.
I also think their Specialized Women’s Services Program is effective. This track lasts 60-75 days and offers targeted care for pregnant women and women with children aged six and younger. They provide a stable environment to focus on recovery while fostering essential parenting skills. You’ll also benefit from assistance with housing, employment, healthcare, education, job skill development, and aftercare. Your kids will have access to playpens and have opportunities to become friends.
Finally, they have several community outreach programs. They offer prevention classes and workshops for locals. That way, you can partake and start reintegrating yourself back into your community. Plus, it makes a difference in keeping your loved ones safe and aware of the dangers of addictions.
Many previous clients enjoyed their services. Some benefits mentioned were an amazing staff, a welcoming environment, and great peer connections. One client felt their services weren’t appropriate for those voluntarily seeking treatment. Still, be sure to research and consider multiple treatment centers to find the best fit for you.
