Gateway
Community Treatment Program
The Gateway Community Treatment Program in Chester offers quality
clinical rehabilitation services designed to enable people with
psychiatric disabilities to function to the best of their ability.
Gateway's case managed clients are in the low to moderate range
of care and need on-going long-term assistance with a wide range
of activities. At Gateway, clients receive case management, psychotherapy,
social rehabilitation, and psychopharmacologic services. Another
key factor in the recovery process is the utilization of community-based
natural supports. The social rehabilitation program follows well-researched
rehabilitation models offering a structured and varied psycho-educational
and experiential program. Social rehabilitation also includes curricula
that are focused on social skill building, symptom recognition and
management, and preparation for community presentation and employment.
Approximately 75% of Gateway's clients live in "board and care"
facilities where most of their daily needs are met. The Gateway
program pursues recovery goals with these clients that focus on
facilitating independent living skills helping them to be increasingly
responsible for their own lives. The skill sets necessary for these
changes are learned and practiced in Gateway's Social Rehabilitation
program and reinforced by case management and psychotherapy. Some
clients have achieved the goal of moving out of their board and
care facilities into their own apartments and also pursue volunteer
or competitive work. The Gateway Community Treatment Program is accredited by CARF.
