Our Treatment Program
Gateway provides 12-Step based treatment for male clients who may be struggling with various addictions. Often the addiction is made worse by co-occuring mental health issues.
The Gateway counseling staff are mostly recovering addicts themselves who can relate personally to the unique problems of denial and guilt that accompany addiction They are all licensed by the State of Louisiana and work under the direction of a Licensed Addiction Counselor. Staff includes Certified Co-Occurring Disorder Professionals.
Our program is spiritual, not religious. To overcome addiction, the love, trust relationship with the object of addiction must be replaced with love for self, for others and for a higher power. The emotional experience produced by these few steps is powerful and life-changing. To be released from the power that an object of addiction holds, the momentary joy it produced must be replaced by true joy welling from within.
We are located in Harvey at the end of Manhattan Blvd, about five miles south of the Westbank Expressway interchange. Residential and outpatient services are available. Residential services are recommended to provide a break from the addictive environment.
