Gateway Foundation - Springfield, IL

About Gateway Foundation

Gateway Foundation in Springfield, Illinois, is part of Alpharus Health, the new name the Gateway Foundation network adopted after nearly 60 years of treating substance use, mental health, and gambling disorders. They take an integrated approach, matching each person to a level of care based on the substances involved, how severe the dependence is, and any co-occurring medical or mental health conditions. Across the organization, care includes residential withdrawal management (detox), 24-hour residential treatment, outpatient programming for people living at home, and confidential virtual sessions with a clinician. They treat alcohol use disorder along with addiction to opioids such as fentanyl, oxycontin, and kratom, as well as stimulants, marijuana, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and hallucinogens.

During detox, clinical staff provide round-the-clock medical monitoring for opioid and alcohol withdrawal, use medications to ease discomfort, and add therapy to help with lingering anxiety, restlessness, and sleep problems. Their medication-assisted recovery program pairs counseling with buprenorphine-based medications like Suboxone or with naltrexone (Vivitrol). They don’t prescribe methadone, but patients already on it through another provider may be able to continue it through care coordination. Treatment also looks at how trauma, behavior patterns, and mental health feed into substance use, and it includes therapy, specialty programs, DUI services, support groups, and an alumni network. They accept most major insurance plans, offer financial assistance options, and run a corrections division that provides treatment inside correctional settings and support for reentry after release.
