Gateway Foundation - Chicago, IL

About Gateway Foundation

Gateway Foundation, now operating as Alpharus Health, is a Chicago-based addiction and mental health treatment provider with nearly 60 years of experience and locations across communities and correctional settings. They treat substance use disorders involving opioids (including fentanyl and kratom), alcohol, stimulants, marijuana, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and hallucinogens, along with mental health conditions and gambling and other process addictions. Care is matched to each person’s substances, severity of dependence, and any co-occurring medical or mental health needs. Levels of care include residential withdrawal management (detox), 24-hour residential treatment, outpatient programming for people living at home, and virtual sessions with a clinician.

During detox, clinical staff provide around-the-clock medical monitoring and medications to ease opioid and alcohol withdrawal, with therapy to help with lingering anxiety, restlessness, and sleep problems. Their medication-assisted recovery program pairs counseling with buprenorphine (Suboxone) or naltrexone (Vivitrol), and patients already receiving methadone from another provider may be able to continue it through coordinated care. Therapy explores how trauma, behavior patterns, and mental health feed into substance use, and additional offerings include 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 in-custody treatment and day reporting for people preparing to reenter their communities.
