Gateway Recovery Center - Brooklyn Park

Short Term Residential Detox (2-7 Day Stays)

Most stays last between two and seven days, focusing on managing withdrawal from substances such as alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines in a monitored setting. Care includes medication support and monitoring to manage withdrawal symptoms with medications such as buprenorphine and clonidine when appropriate.

Integrated Care for Co-Occuring Conditions

Clients can address both substance use and mental health conditions at the same time. A trauma-informed approach is used across programming with support for individuals navigating complex histories to include experiences with chronic pain, domestic violence, or sexual abuse, as well as populations that include veterans and older adults.

Residential Setting with 24/7 Admission

This facility operates as a mid-size residential detox center (approximately 16-30 beds), offering spacious rooms, full-service dining, lounge areas and outdoor spaces. Admissions are available 24 hours a day ensuring care is available for individuals seeking immediate support.

Detox With Immediate Therapy and Recovery Planning

Detox is supported by individual counseling, group therapy, and substance use education. AA/NA meetings are held on site. Treatment incorporates approaches such as motivational interviewing, trauma related-care, and the Matrix Model to aid clients in developing coping skills and prepare for ongoing recovery.

Discharge Planning and Connection to Ongoing Care

Clients work with case managers during their stay to coordinate next steps and reduce barriers after discharge. These can include transitions to residential treatment facilities, outpatient programs, and community-based services. Additional support may include recovery coaching, peer groups, and overdose education. As a part of the EOSIS Network, this facility has established pathways for continued care beyond detox.
