Gateway Foundation’s Carbondale center, located in Carbondale, Illinoise offers a serene 14-acre wooded campus designed to support individuals on their journey to recovery from substance use disorders. As part of the nation’s largest nonprofit treatment provider, Gateway Foundation specializes in comprehensive care for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.
The Carbondale facility provides personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs, addressing the severity of addiction and any underlying mental health issues. Their approach includes evidence-based therapies such as medication-assisted treatment, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma therapy, and 12-step support. This holistic methodology ensures that both substance use and mental health concerns are treated concurrently, promoting lasting recovery.
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by women, the Carbondale center offers “Her Story,” a specialized program dedicated to helping women overcome addiction and trauma in a safe, supportive environment. This program emphasizes the importance of addressing trauma, noting that one in three women will experience a sexual assault in their lifetime, and those who do are twice as likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
For those seeking flexibility, Gateway Foundation Carbondale provides intensive outpatient programs. These programs offer individual and group counseling sessions that focus on managing withdrawal symptoms, addressing underlying issues contributing to addiction, and equipping clients with coping skills essential for sustained sobriety.
