Admission Criteria 

Gateway Academy is designed to serve underachieving boys, ages 14 - 17, struggling with:
 
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • executive functioning problems
  • unresolved trauma
  • impulsivity and attention problems
  • social problems
  • diminished self-esteem
  • oppositional behaviors
  • substance abuse
  • difficulties at home
  • relationship problems
  • identity and developmental issues
  • academic deficits
  • and other comparable difficulties
 

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.
