Gateway’s
program is not appropriate for every youth. Referrals are carefully
screened by the Admissions Director, Clinical Director and Medical
Director to ensure each youth’s problems can be effectively
addressed in our setting.
Contraindication for admission includes youth who present with imminently
life threatening symptoms, pose a danger to themselves or others,
present with a history of chronic substance abuse without a recent
intervening period of sobriety, present as physically aggressive,
or require extreme physical or medical care.
In considering each candidate for admission, Gateway carefully considers
all factors that indicate the youth’s greatest potential for
success both during and after participation.
Length of stay is flexible and based on the individual needs and progress
of each youth. The average length of stay is seven to nine months.
